Least of things to worry about. He's a chronic drunk, and amusingly (not amusing, at all) he starred in Chelmsford 123, and I and 3 other passer-bys had to stop him harrassing a young (Savile young) girl at Chelmsford train station and make sure he got on the next train Cambridge way. Sue me, Rory!

It has people pop up that normally only do background stuff too - one of the characters seems to be the go-to soundman for everything on the BBC.

Hoops posted:There was a time from the mid-90s to the early 2000s where it was just an epidemic, pop music was really terrible. Simon Cowell and guys like him were to blame basically. The glut only really ended because X-Factor let them do it much more efficiently. Note how much more quickly than America we switched to that format over the individual singers-only Idol. Also the best/worst group were S-Club 7, who had their own tv show, the first episode of which involved them going to America and being forced to play corny, safe tunes for an evil hotel owner, only to break free and shock all the squares with their fresh new sounds, and I can only imagine how many weeks the writers must have spent searching for a song corny enough to make S-Club sound rebellious.

I happened to look that up just two days ago, the band (North and South) just came to the front of my mind as I was thinking about the crap on TV as a kid. The first series did OK and got the band in the charts I think. Second pretty much sunk though.

They also used to have a regular write in spot in Viz comic for people who had spotted him wobbling around Cambridge, Essex, or London. I recall one letter asserted that he pissed all over the correspondant in a urinal because he said something derogatory about his perm. My letter didn't get published

Plus his intended use was to get a reaction from the crowd. And he certainly did that. I mean, one of the biggest matches in British wrestling history, Big Daddy vs Giant Haystacks, was just two gigantic men bumping off each other. EA-SY EA-SY EA-SY

S Club 7 gave the world Rachel Stevens and Hannah Spearritt, and for that their musical crimes can be forgiven. Edit: the low point of the British music scene with respect of boy bands/girl groups, and this is beyond all debate, was the brief career of Vanilla.

I met Hannah from S Club 7 once and she was so lovely I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but how would one watch something on 4OD if they don't live in England? I want to watch that Brian Gittins thing. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4funnies/episode-guide/series-3/episode-1

As for watching 4OD outside of the UK, I'm not sure, but I think the program Tunnelbear might help you. I've used it (as a UK person) to access US only content, I assume it may work the other way round too

So was 15 Stone Babies originally a Channel 5 documentary that they decided to not show? I'm getting serious carfucker/boy-with-an-arse-for-a-face vibe from it.

How does Angus Deayton keep getting work? He's not particularly bad at anything but he's just...there. He can't say anything that really comes out funny, he can't seem to deliver any line with any emotion what so ever, he doesn't come up with anything on the spot either. I'm sure he's quite good at doing things in as few takes as possible but surely there's someone out there who can do that while also coming off as more than a granite slab. Like you watch the new Would I Lie to You with Rob Brydon presenting and go back and watch Deayton present it and it's like night and day, Brydon can actually read lines with some feeling and come up with things on the spot and be funny.

I think people hire him out of guilt. Also, going back to the QI question about who gets the questions in advance: Don't you guys think that Bill Bailey really knows a lot. Like more than he should. But maybe he's just genuinely interested in biology (that's where it's really clear) like David Mitchell is with history.

Look at the top selling music artists ever - ignoring Elton John, the three UK ones are all bands and the US ones are all solo artists. It's just the way we've been.
