I don't think it's anything personal but sometimes it does seem like it's a staple thing to 'go over to Lois/Theopia, she says something wacky, we move on'. It's so regular it kinda stops seeming spontaneous. I think that comment is more to the detriment of the show than the person.

well i certainly didn't mean to be mean.

next time you see her congratulate her on being far more entertaining than the rest, and apologise for me.

Why would they get Roger Moore to present it?

I can't wait for them to get Jeremy Kyle on there. In any capacity.

Moore acted in the Bond films?

It was a terrible HIGNFY. Moore was monotoning jokes from autocue that he clearly had no comprehension of. The two guest panelists were extraordinarily limp. The audience laughing on cue to crap visual CGI gags that were added in post-production was the cringe-inducing.

I thought Marcus Brigstocke was alright, but the whole thing suffered from reminding me of awkward conversations with half there relatives in retirement homes.

I'm guessing the guilt-ridden Deacon let her know what was about to happen and they planned the fake assassination. Although it was highly convenient of a deadly female assassin that carries a handgun visible in her back pocket to force Sam to appear in broad daylight in the middle of London (actually it's just terrible writing).

I watched a bit of Hunted. The only thing I can say is that it was better than Spooks, but that's not saying much because Spooks was an appalling programme.

I quite enjoyed parts of Hunted, but the last episode seemed so, so rushed considering they had eight episodes of very little happening.

It makes me cringe so much I become fractions of some measure of embarrassment away from becoming a black hole of cringing, absorbing all the embarrassment in the world until I explode in a supernova of embarrassment which can be seen throughout the universe. Alien civilizations will point at a red point in the sky. It will slowly become brighter as the embarrassment grows to destroy all life in the universe.

So I probably shouldn't catch the new series.

I'm not defending it (because it was terrible) but you can really easily play in things like that dumb shark pool through the EVS and key it in on a locked off shot so it would appear on the studio monitors for the audience.

Sorry dude, you're as dumb as a bag of hammers. I was a bit sceptical at first, but by this point in the season it's proved to be just as well written as ever and Joe Gilgun is loving amazing. The two new kids are pretty good too.

This season of Misfits had a subplot involving a telepathic racist dog which convinced its blind owner to turn down a black guy due to the colour of his skin.

Basically, Misfits is still awesome.

The first two episodes were terrible, I really disliked the new characters and I never liked the way the power-taking guy become a main character, and the whole heavily stylised look of the show seemed to be gone. I couldn't bring myself to watch the third episode because my spare time is pretty limited.

But if you guys are saying it picked up I don't want to miss out. I loved the first two seasons, and the third was still pretty great. I'm trusting you, dudes. :unsmith:

I genuinely thought it was a common opinion. When the season started impressions were poor and then nobody talked about it.

For anybody outside the UK, http://www.unblock-us.com/ is a great service that lets you watch stuff from Channel 4, BBC and others, as well as Hulu and other US-only services. You can also set which region to belong to on Netflix.

For me in Norway it definitely is, as our Netflix is pretty limited, and I can't access BBC iPlayer without it. And $5 a month isn't exactly breaking the bank.

Edit: Loved the little bit of Johnson on Peep Show. But holy poo poo Gerard!

Catching up with Peep Show now, it's still fantastic. The Mark/Jez curry scene was hilarious.

McDragon

I was worried Peep Show might have lost the sparkle. It hasn't. Everything to do with the funeral was excellent. Johnson's eulogy was amazing, and Mark's was great as well. The "Wake Cake" bit was hilarious. And Mark is just the sort of person to get bitter at someone whose death he caused. Well, perhaps not caused, but Gerard might have lived if he got to the hospital quicker.

And it's still got those amazing cringy bits.

I think the part I most liked about the Johnson eulogy scene was him leaning on the side of the pulpit thingy rather than standing behind it. Every last detail, perfect.

What's really great is that it lets you pick a region to 'be in', and certain regions outside the US have even better stuff. For instance Brazil has all the Bond movies up to Quantum of Solace, and Canada seems to get new releases a little earlier. It's definitely worth it to me.
