Joe Gilgun is just so so good in this. The bit where he reacts with the spade, or the suggestion of "We should get his cock out" just had me in hysterics.

VogeGandire posted:They're almost certainly the same person. Cherry Healey is obviously going for the Theroux "Be totally impartial on every subject and let the interviewee set themselves up" except she doesn't come across as a pleasant, inquisitive person like Theroux does, she just comes across as absolutely clueless, like she didn't do her research beforehand. That still sounds like an improvement. The one I was on about just couldn't stop talking about herself and how she felt about things. Emotionally. Feelings-wise. But yeah, she too had the interview technique of... well, she was like a lovable sloth. She just grinned doe-eyed at people and when the topics the programme was meant to be about came up and things got prickly, she just implored people to be nice - like she is - instead of asking actual questions to challenge what they were saying. She'd have been fine if she'd been doing a documentary where she investigated the favourite cake recipes and knitting patterns of old ladies, but she definitely was not the right person to send out to ask bigots to justify their hateful beliefs.

Ooh more relaxing TV next wednesday at 9 on 2, The Tudor Monastary farm, with the people from the Edwardian farm et al. Time to settle in with some comfort food that is not farmed.

This makes me disproportionately happy. Such a strange but soothing concept, and perfect to watch on a chilly winters evening.

As I think the old BBC Radio thread in RGD has now tumbled into the great beyond, can anybody tell me why this week's News Quiz isn't online yet? I couldn't listen because I was busy, I'm guessing they covered the NotW phonehacking trial so it'll be gummed up and then bits removed for the iPlayer and podcast?

I don't think I ever actually watched an episode of Tomorrow's world, but my mum never fails to reference it when she's out and about and encounters something like a self-service checkout or a loving automatic door. In fairness she did grow up in rural Ireland. Really though, this has had me laughing my bollocks off for a good 5 minutes and would surely have been right up Tomorrow's World's pneumatic tube based street. I kind of wish the show hadn't stopped going because there will always be technologies just like this one that are developed with wilful disregard for the fact that people don't like doing things that make them feel like tits. And what could be funnier to watch than BBC presenters having to demonstrate tit technologies. Guys! Cruise along the streets of Milton Keynes at 12mph enjoying email, news and games! (I really hope this happens. Milton Keynes will become a sort of safari park with gangs of kids hunting these things)

I used to adore Tomorrows world. Seeing all the new technology as it was coming out. It gave me wonderful knowledge that is completely useless. You know those hand warmers that you click the metal clip inside it and it crystalises. The substance is in there is slat and vinegar crisp flavouring. I would not have known this useless fact without Tomorrows world.

Oh that was my reaction too on first seeing it! I've for a long time attributed evil little urges like that to a sort of ancient core knowledge that we're presumably born with because as a species we're fundamentally just bastards. Only difference of course is that when you're a kid - or that particular kind of old person that I'm looking forward to being - you're more inclined to act on them since you don't give much of a gently caress about consequences.

Seems like it's going for The Thick of It lite - TTOI got very drama-ish toward the end, but was still very funny, so I think they're trying for the same thing. I'm actually quite enjoying it. It's a bit poo poo that all the story lines turn out to make The Establishment into the good guys, but it's entertaining enough.

No idea why though - it's not like the thing is live, they have a day or so for editing (though they've had to cut the iPlayer version at least one before, after listener complaints) I couldn't get it through the iOS app or online until after the repeat early Saturday afternoon. Oh yeah and the Americans are trying to ruin another one of are sitcoms, but at least it's not a really good one like Fresh Meat or something.

"The Revolution Will be Televised" attacking the BBC for taking a licence fee. While being broadcast on BBC Three. There's falling on your own sword, and there's dying on the hill of biting the hand that feeds you. In fact, this isn't biting the hand that feeds, this is biting your own loving hand.

I think, of all the terrible TV I've watched, this HAS to be the worst, because it earnestly believes in the poo poo it's producing. They genuinely think dressing up as Hitler to get into a ball mainly populated by right-wingers is the cutting edge of comedy.

Maybe go back and watch the first series after, as it does suffer from some teething problems which are more forgivable once you know the characters a little better.

Just watched Buzzcocks for the first time in ages and it was pretty funny. From the story about Katy Perry getting upset that someone didn't really know who she was to Huey's odd mental breakdown . I was giggling like a twat all the way throughout. So when did it start getting funny again or was tonight a weird one off and only funny because of Paul Foot and randomly Rizzle Kicks being pretty quick witted??
