As it is, iplayers content pales in comparison to 4od - I'd be happy even if they kept all of a series up while it was still being aired, anything else would be a bonus.

They offer series catchup on quite a few shows, though it isn't ubiquitous. Also remember last month when they admitted to having wasted millions on trying to digitize the archive. Not that it's germane, just saying that it owned.

Says something about how shite the Monday night line up is that when I went to have a look what was on at half nine tonight, and of the four recommendations on the RT website, two of them were Only Connect. One was for the repeat on BBC4 at 1:55ish in the morning and the other to watch it on the iPlayer. Nice.

I notice Netflix is putting up new episodes of U.S. The Killing as they air over the pond. Not exactly the greatest show, but an interesting move. Maybe they'll do it with Breaking Bad later this summer.

They also don't have series two or three of the Danish Killing, which is torture.

Oh yeah, looks like Netflix are involved, although the whole season is going out on AMC before it arrives on Netflix US. So a different beast to House of Cards/Arrested Development.

That wasn't about the iplayer that was to try and build an internal web app where all the footage archive, or just shot and ingested would be available anywhere within the bbc network so that you could edit a programme at your desk and never have to touch a tape. It was a hell of a lot more ambitious than just the iplayer.

I seem to be in the minority that doesn't mind Lauren! Ditto Jimmy; now they've got rid of the stupid dressup section his only major bit is telling a few jokes at the start, which are occasionally groan worthy but still entertaining IMO...

I'm watching on +1 and it's definitely improved. However, if I see that loving Peugot GTi advert one more time (or rather, hear it) I am going to find and kill whoever came up with it. fake edit: well maybe not find and kill, more silently rage while scrabbling desperately for the 'mute' button.

FreakyZoid posted:Anyone reading about Fry's confession and then seeking out more of Herring's work hoping for other heart felt interviews is really going to get a shock when they end up listening to Pippa Middleton's Disembodied Anus. AIOtM is mostly terrible, the product of a man pushing himself well beyond his own capacity to write. I listened to and enjoyed the whole of AIOtM, but at the same time I was like, 'why am I enjoying this? It's completely poo poo', and yet I still liked it. RHLSTP is generally very good though.

My employer is also on a wild "out of the box" experience and it's costing them millions of euros a year trying to fix the gently caress-ups.

Wait, were there even any trans* people in the judging panel? e: also TinTower you or others might know what I'm talking about, a while back I remember seeing a website or report which listed tonnes of transphobic incidents or themes in TV programs and maybe films and the volume and variety of stuff it contained was pretty shocking. I'm trying to find it now but I'm struggling. Any idea what it was? never mind, I think it's this I'm thinking of: http://www.glaad.org/publications/victims-or-villains-examining-ten-years-transgender-images-television Jonnty fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Jun 7, 2013 |

quote:Tom Glover said: "I was really thrilled to discover I was one of the winners of the Trans Comedy Award. Often writing can feel like a self-indulgent activity, but as I wrote this piece, I became increasingly convinced that it could do some real good in challenging prejudices through humour. It would be fair to say that I originally viewed the concept with some suspicion, but as I began to think about how the Trans community have been represented, or ignored within the media, I realised that this was a chance to do something ground-breaking and worthwhile. Sorry mate, that still sounds really self-indulgent. I'm not trans, I don't want to be offended on behalf so to speak, but the idea that a trans woman and a son with Aspergers makes for a wacky, non-traditional family situation ripe for hilarious jokes (but also ~groundbreaking challenging of prejudice~!) is really annoying.
