Yeah, what I mean is, it's gone so far there's no suspension of disbelief any more. There used to be the grey area of "Is he that bad or is it a gimmick", but now it just feels really put on.

Sir Patrick Moore has passed away 2am on the BBC won't be the same without him. Though you wonder if he's rolling his eyes because god asked him how to find the triforce in Zelda 3.

Awwww Godammit. I knew it would be this year or next but it's still pretty sad even if he was a misogynistic crazy old man. I'll miss you dude. You made astronomy fun for me when I was little.

I think it's safe to say that the phrase "Thanks, GamesMaster" takes on a new meaning today.

Always thought he was way older than 89. He seemed like he was in his 80s when he was doing Gamesmaster 20 years ago.

I did astronomy at university and a number of us got to meet him. He acted and talked very differently to my non-white classmates. That's my Patrick Moore story.

For my A-Level physics, I went to an series of lectures in London, and Patrick gave the one that wrapped up the day. I think he had the mic too close to his mouth and then he kept talking too loudly, so it was an hour of tinnitus-causing distortion. That's my Patrick Moore story.

He said he'd once met Patrick Moore and he seemed to be a nice enough man, even if he did have political views "slightly to the right of Genghis Kahn."

Am I the only one who thinks the guy hosting The Dark Ages looks like the Gangnam Style guy? I'm not attempting to spell his name. Good show anyway, interesting topic.

Poor Waldemar Januszczak. Years of study, months of producing this show, and all we can think to say about it is that he looks a bit like the Gangam Style bloke. It is a jolly good programme though. I was especially interested in the feminization of Jesus in early Christian imagery (in order to appeal to the pagans who worshipped female goddesses). Bit of a shock to see a mosaic of an unbearded Jesus with pouty lips and good childbearing hips.

Well, I thought Peep Show was a bit lacklustre last episode, but it was great this week. The Jeremy falling in love with Dobby thing is something that it seemed to be suggesting earlier on. Could lead to interesting things soon. Super Hans was brilliant this episode. I hope Jeremy keeps life coaching people into ruining their lives. And of course, people being hit in the balls will always be funny to me.

That was the best Peep Show in a while. I'd wondered if the show was taking a turn for a slightly mellower character-driven direction, but there was some massively sharp and uncomfortable things going on. I like how it's looking like Mark's nice little gesture of printing up the life coaching certificate for Jeremy will turn around and bite him in the rear end. I love Mark's inner monologue during the quiz game at the party "next time we do a quiz it'll be on Napoleon, and you might scrape through a few Waterloo questions, but when I pin you down on the Emperor's domestic reforms, I will gently caress you very hard, in the mouth."  Super Hans' speech about the Ewoks and golden snitch was also amazing. h_double fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Dec 10, 2012 |

I went to some of the recordings in the first series of Gamesmaster, I didn't even know that Patrick Moore was in it until it was on telly. That's my Patrick Moore story.

Oh man Peep Show. Jeremy is so going to bone Dobby. It's inevitable. They very subtly suggested it might go that way in the first two episodes and after this one it has to happen. I can't wait. No idea what they're doing with Super Hans this series though, making him 'go straight' so to speak. I'd hate to see them ruining my favourite character. That said, he was great in that last episode and I've got a funny feeling they might be setting him up for one hell of a relapse. I was a little worried when I first started watching this series, everything seemed slightly lacking. It was funny, but missing something that had given the previous efforts that spark. Sophie leaving didn't help that, though I guess her character had run its course, and getting rid of her gives a reasonable excuse for ignoring the baby and avoiding cliché sitcom tropes. I'm now cautiously optimistic that things are building up to worthwhile climax, but we shall see. Also, regardless of everything else, it's kind of depressing how old the cast are looking now. It's getting pretty obvious that they're caked in makeup to make them look younger than they are - Jeremy in particular. In that vein, I don't think they'll ever reach the heights they did with the first couple of series. While it's consistently excellent, it seems to have moved away from the constant soul crushing slog that it used to be, which really made it something fresh. I'll keep watching, of course, but I'm more or less convinced the show has peaked. (Also, Dobby/Isy Suttie. Never before has a woman confused my genitals so much)

Yeah, I was worried about the new series of Peep Show, but the new episode was fantastic. Jez having sex with Dobby seems inevitable, although I think he might bottle it at the last second out of respect for Mark. And Super Hans continues to be amazing.

I really liked Super Hans and Mark together, I liked how Hans helped Mark out with the short straw stuff. "First short straw goes, second long straw goes, everyone knows that". This was a good Super Hans episode, even though the paintball stuff annoyed me being so inaccurate.
