Andrew Marr's cities series (forget what it was actually called) was loving poo poo so I'm finding it quite hard to muster enthusiasm for the new one. Probably will check it out eventually though.

onoflalks posted:Thanks Trin, that's made my dull, lovely day much better Was today poo poo as well? Only I was browsing the related clips, and some golden god (who's also responsible for some great classic Rugby League clips) has only gone and uploaded Lovejoy's finest hour. In 2002, Sky were really pushing their great new Fanzone commentary idea; so, for the FA Cup Final, they sent Bradley Walsh to commentate for Arsenal, and Tim Lovejoy to commentate for Chelsea. It could not possibly have ended any better at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ-DykIqMl0 They must have played the clip 50 times on the end-of-season show and it was glorious

justcola posted:I am enjoying A History of Andrew Marr's World hosted by Andrew Marr, master of the documentary. I like world history as my general knowledge of it is more or less there, I just sometimes struggle with the order of things so it's nice for that. I just hate how he presents really like saying things like 'you may think x. you are wrong.' every five minutes or pronouncing iron like irony without the y. The whole style of his presenting is quite odd once you start properly looking at him, compared to say Ian Hislop or any other human being. Aaaah, Andrew Marr. Nothing like going from a history lesson where his History of Modern Britain was used, straight into politics where we discussed his super injunction. He really is, like you say, really, really bizarre for a BBC presenter, sometimes overly dramatic and annoying, other times downright condescending to the viewer. He has an odd penchant for acting out the scenario that he is talking about, getting all in role and dramatic about it. One particular example that sticks in my memory is an episode where the focus was on the British Union of Fascists, and he was discussing Oswald Mosely's marriage to Diane Mitford. He is stood outside the Mitford house, with a recreation of events taking place and he is just looking into their home through a window like some stalker, talking about how polarised the Mitford family was (one was Fascist, another Socialist) while what he describes happens. It reminded me of something. I couldn't think of what it was at first, but then it struck me. It reminded me of Gonzo the Great in the Muppet Christmas Carol, where he takes Rizzo through Scrooge's past, and how they are always looking into Scrooge's life through a window, whilst describing his upbringing. Actually, thinking about it... Andrew Marr and Gonzo the Great do kind of look alike...

Junkenstein posted:Anyone watching Hunted? Didn't realise it was starting tonight. Yeah quite enjoyed it. The main character has something that bugs me though -she has this continuous pout thing going on when she is herself. It went away when she was pretending to be an american to infiltrate the bad guys.

This is shameful. We are now ten minutes into Merlin and there hasn't been one single scene where Arthur is without his shirt. It was the best thing about the very silly programme  . Perhaps it too is a victim of the BBC spending cuts.(Oops, spoke too soon, a couple of Round Table knights have been captured and are forced to work shirtless in a mine. All's right with the world again.) Irisi fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Oct 6, 2012 |

The budget on Merlin has really taken a noticeable nosedive. There was one scene inside the castle where someone leaned against a wall and I'm convinced the wall wobbled.

Budget's all gone on making a wig for Richard Wilson that doesn't look like a depressed albino sloth sleeping on his head (total failure) and on making really elaborate dresses for Guinevere that still show off her boobs for the dads in the audience (spectacular success!) And also on the plus side, Mordred grow up to be a total hottie. Bonus!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2213960/DJ-Liz-Kershaw-expose-gropers-sexual-predators-Radio-1.html "Sources say this information is likely to include details of an ‘unsuitable relationship’ involving the late John Peel and a schoolgirl now in her 40s. Kershaw said: ‘I will be seeing Mr Entwistle and I will be telling him everything that I know. ‘I have been asked to see him because of the comments I made on Radio 4 yesterday. ‘I will be telling him about the sexual antics of other household names who had relationships with girls in the office or with people they met on Top Of The Pops or the Radio 1 show. ‘I should stress, however, those relationships did not involve underage girls.’" DJs have SEX with younger people! People in offices have SEX with each other! John Peel knew a woman who was once a schoolgirl! We asked Peely if he was a paedo and his silence condemned him in our eyes. Think about it his favourite song was 'The Undertones - Teenage Kicks'. Blatant clue.

Stop linking to Mail people But re Peel isn't this likely to be a reference to his failed marriage to the 15 year old while he was living in Texas? Although I think she'd be in her 50s now, not 40s if she weren't also dead. It's not a secret, and he's said it was a terrible mistake.

Their 'sources' are probably Wikipedia and Daily Mail commenters. It is probably nothing to do with Peel... since if you read the actual quotes:quote:‘I have been asked to see him because of the comments I made on Radio 4 yesterday. From the Guardian: quote:Peel told the Guardian in 1975. "Girls," he said to the Sunday Correspondent in 1989, "used to queue up outside oral sex they were particularly keen on, I remember one of my regular customers, as it were, turned out to be 13, though she looked older."

If we stopped linking to the DM how else are you going to be on the cutting edge of inane office chat this week? Coleen Nolan is going for the Gold medal and it's going to be hard to beat, she's just remembered (but forget to tell the documentary makers) about another experience. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbi...pped-going.html "'My sisters saved me from Jimmy Savile': Coleen Nolan reveals her narrow escape from TV presenter's clutches" I mean that's just a fantastic sentence. "Ever since the revelations on TV, Coleen has been bombarded with nasty messages by internet trolls. She says she's had reactions from people who say she made it all up just to get attention, but the star claims she never spoke out earlier because she was young and afraid. Coleen is gearing up to tour again with her three sisters in their group The Nolans, starting in February." Probably not the most opportune moment to plug the tour, Col.

It's very very common for victims to not speak out until someone else doing so prompts them. The first example that springs to mind is the London black cab serial rapist who was sent down a year or so ago.

I just don't understand why all this stuff linked with Glitter didn't come out when he was arrested and convicted in 1997. Then again he was only convicted of child porn on his pc, he was found not guilty on the under age sex charge (wikipedia claims it was because the 'victim' stood to get more money from the tabloids if he was found guilty).

I was thinking before that all the Jimmy Savile stuff has uncomfortable parallels to the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse case. A much loved institution accused of turning a blind eye to sexual predators stalking the corridors and all that.

From remembering the case, I believe that it all hinged on who the girl went to first. Instead of informing the police, the first person she went to was Max Clifford. That put her testimony into doubt as it looked like she was only in it for the money. That and other comments she made prior to the trial about what she may get out of it.

Ella and Jahmene (sp?!) would both be more enjoyable if they didn't try to do so many embellishments and wobbles which totally ruins the song. Melanie is just shouty. I quite like Jade's voice but I think she's going to get drowned out by the others. Lucy Spraggan - is this is a singing competition why is she in it? She's just a talky-singer; what's she going to do on big band week? I also cannot get behind Chris Malone, fraud and boring. Has anyone else been watching The Paradise? It is the most ridiculous script and worse case of overacting I have seen in forever (and I watch Downton!). The handsome manager is good-looking but it's all so over the top it kills it!
