sex pervert posted:Channel 4 News start their show by interviewing an old man about UKIP's electoral success. Presumably he'd been asked what he thought of UKIP: I'd like C4 News more if their interviews weren't so consistently terrible. They have a tendency to ram a dozen controversial questions down each interviewee's throat without ever giving the poor bastard a chance to answer in full. I'd much rather see a few awkward questions asked, then give the subjects enough time and rope to hang themselves. It's still by far the best TV news. It manages more in one hour than 24 hours of rolling BBC/Sky/whatever manages to cover in a day.

Krishnan's interviewing style is really hyperactive, yeah, but sometimes it can pay off with massive entertainment value https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTE8FPgHeE4 edit: some other memorable Channel 4 News moments from the last half year or so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T-LQsuYBYs (interview starts 6 minutes in) - Krishnan interviews Emma Harrison, founder of A4E. She shows herself up as a jaw-droppingly clueless, incompetent, self-absorbed cretin: exactly the kind of "wealth creator" the current British government venerates and doles out millions of public money to while they kick the poor in the face! Great fun. And she keeps calling Krishnan Kristan/Christian. Wanker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSViMkpJISU Star Wars ending from last Halloween. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04KjXx-74DU A ballsy interview that actually acknowledges a couple of huge loving elephants in the room that you won't hear mentioned by the rest of the media on the rare occasions that they touch on elite pedophile networks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXEbDYRWzHU John Snow interviews Russell Brand. Surprisingly uplifting stuff. sex pervert fucked around with this message at 17:46 on May 5, 2013 |

Tonight's Vicious has a sort of Doctor Who themed plot (Ian McKellen's character prepares to go to a convention). Now I'm compelled to watch.

I think my favourite interviewer is Susanna Reid on BBC Breakfast when faced with a political/controversial person to interview, she just goes a bit mental at people who don't answer questions. Sadly can't find any youtube clips since there appears to be several channels devoted to what outfits she wears and her "luscious legs". Or one of times when they invite Katie Hopkins from the Apprentice on to provide an opinion for working mums and she ALWAYS takes the side against working mums and starts acting like a hammy supervillain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpNeGMwSqwE

She's trying to create a sort of super-oval office persona for herself. There's never any substance behind her horrible opinions; she'll just say anything to get her face on telly. I saw her on some BBC programme one Sunday morning. There was a ~3 minute video showing her exercising on a running track interspersed with little segments where she said SHOCK HORROR things like "fat people should be charged for their medical treatment" and "fat people should be made to exercise for their benefits". She was then introduced in the studio to debate the topic along with a medical doctor who was very clearly pissed off by the video and didn't waste any time in tearing strips out of her retarded ideas. But she didn't engage in debate with him. She just sat there grinning wryly, shaking her head and rolling her eyes at him. I think she's trying to be a British Ann Coulter. It helps that she's probably an incredibly unpleasant person in real life. Shame on the BBC for inviting this loving breathing caricature onto what it has the gall to call serious debate programmes. As if the BBC needs any more loving shame.

FelixMeOneMoreTime posted:There was also a storyline with a character claiming to be an alien, with the token physics nerd believing his story and helping him build a beacon. The alien was actually a guy abandoned at birth, and the nerd ended up working for NASA. And don't forget Newt, the goth who hallucinated an evil man who would make him do bad things, and who had an entire episode dedicated to him that was essentially a dream about the perfect girl. Warren Fox coming back from the dead was nice, especially when he tricked a man into thinking he'd murdered a prostitute. And nobody can forget Silas, the village serial killer who was portrayed as a moustache twirling vaudeville villain crossed with Hannibal Lecter. The best soap on British TV, if only for its sheer outrageousness. Hollyoaks is the daily sport of soaps.

Isn't there usually a goon thread for it? I'm guessing they started this year's series late because Sugar was taken to an employment tribunal by a former winner of the show. The case was dismissed just a couple of weeks ago and Sugar was all over the media slagging off the woman just to make absolutely sure she'd never get another job in the UK. Classy bloke.

That's amazing, as I was rooting for him for the exact same reason. The girls' team name for the new series is apparently 'Endeavour'. Nice to see the candidates are keeping up consistency by having another wanky team name to join 'Renaissance' and 'Stealth'.

To be fair it's a poisoned chalice, I challenge you to come up with a non-wanky Apprentice team name. Edit: The wackiest part is the justification that comes afterwards, or the people who disagree that one wanky team name 'doesn't fit' whilst another 'seems right'.

I mean I didn't ever see them cook in the show, but I think it's fair assumption. They were a canny lot.

Team Anonymous  ! I want to bet that some bellend will suggest that. Really, how do all these people, having presumably watched this show for years, still manage to go on it and take it seriously? Surely you'd feel loving humiliated, being on The Apprentice. The "business tasks" are to real business what a child making Plasticine burgers on a Fisher Price kitchen is to running a real restaurant.

Akuma posted:HIMYM has a shitload of "stock" canned laughter. Dozens of times an episode there's a big laugh where you can very clearly hear this one particular laugh from (what I assume is) a woman and it's exactly the same every single time. If you like HIMYM, once you notice it it ruins it because you hear it all the time. All the time. Oh God, is this the "WEE HEE HEE"? Because I always thought I was the only one to notice the "WEE HEE HEE"! And isn't HIMYM slightly different anyway, in that they film the whole thing without an audience then show the finished episode to an audience and film the reaction?
