I hate that Dove use a plinky-plonky piano version of The Cure's Close to Me. So depressing. This clip sums up nicely why people let their music be used in adverts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2g9UJdH4MM

Didn't MotD use Napalm Death a couple of months back? I know somebody who is a tech op at BBC Sport in Salford, maybe I'll see if they have any idea what's going on.

Never going to blame New Order for that; they made almost no money at all from that single, initially at least, thanks to The Hacienda. The die-cast sleeve it came in probably didn't help, although the rumour that they actually made a loss on it is probably not quite the truth either. edit: back onto a TV topic, i just found out that Auf Wiedersehen, Pet is showing on the Yesterday channel (Sky channel 537) at 10am daily. One of the funniest British shows made, I think. stickyfngrdboy fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Jun 25, 2012 |

I'm sure you're all aware of this, but talk of the music used in the background of montages etc has reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend who does tech stuff for the BBC. Basically, if you ever find yourself asking if it's an accident that the music over a piece of footage is strangely (in)appropriate - the best example is playing Laura Palmer's Theme over footage of Gerry McCann - then you can be 100% sure it is not an accident, and that an editor either didn't notice the connection, or they let it through because they had plausible deniability.

It's always difficult to bring a comedy back, though Mid Morning Matters was great, so I've got my hopes up. Shame I don't have the channel though...

Anyone else get into the YouView trial? Got a box coming on Wednesday, which is nice as so far we've never actually had a set top box like that. Except BT Vision for a few months years ago which was pretty bad.

I am enjoying the new Alan Partridge so far. It's not the sheer brilliance of previous outings, but I have laughed several times and will definitely be watching the next special.

I know Sky are only trying to differentiate themselves from competitors, but I still hate them for making a channel for exclusive stuff which Virgin/BT customers can't get. In respect of the business side of things, I can appreciate the value for Sky to do things this way. Personally and irrationally I think they are assholes.

Nothing irrational about thinking that, Sky are assholes. I worked for them briefly and a bunch of them would call terrestrial tv "council telly" to try and shame poor people into getting sky when they can't really afford it. Disgusting.

It was pretty drat amusing. Alan at his saddest. My only complaint really is we only saw Alan, no Michael and just brief bit with Lynn on the phone. For a moment I was thinking the brief Hospital sub plot would lead into the movie.

Maybe I just don't know what to do with myself without the Euros on, but there's really no need for how poor the 9pm lineup has been tonight. Three fly-on-the-wall documentaries on at once, Big Brother and something about the royalty. On one hand, it's lucky that I have Sky so there's a selection; on the other hand, living with my parents - who apparently have a keen interest in Jews living in Manchester - completely saps that selection down unless I manage to Sky+ ahead of time. Speaking of which, did anyone see Braquo when it was on FX? I forgot I had the full first series on there, but in the space of a day, I've watched 5 episodes. What a loving intense show: it's like the later seasons of The Shield but somehow more claustrophobic. Is there a foreign language TV shows thread anywhere because between this and The Bridge, the best stuff I've seen this year has been international.

Nah it's anti-competitive and they should be forced to licence all their channels to any carrier that wants them.

Braquo is brilliant. I saw the first series was on Sky's Anytime+ service so downloaded that and now I'm waiting until the end of the second series to download those. Spiral, on BBC Four, is very similar and just as good.

Watching Postman Pat. Pat, Ted, and the Reverend were sitting in a boat comparing scars while an imitation of the Jaws theme played in the background. Also Ted literally just said "I think you're going to need a bigger boat." Surely the kids that this is aimed at will have absolutely no concept of Jaws.
