Everyone go and watch the final episode, it's on 4od now - Ray Purchase is in it, and there's a scene of them both doing voice-over work which is utterly loving hysterical. God I hope this gets a second series.

CobiWann posted:Hey, guys. What's Numberwang? THAT'S Numberwang. (But really, in case you're not making a joke, it's a nonsensical gameshow invented on sketch show "That Mitchell and Webb Look". It's just a confusing gameshow with apparently no real rules.) And yeah, Man Down is fantastic, but I'm biased because I love Greg Davies in anything.

What worries me is that the German version of Numberwang makes perfect sense to me. We've also taken to saying, 'Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango' around the house when exasperated with one another. Absolutely gobsmacked that Carol Cleveland was in Sunday's Toast. Also my husband is British, and though he giggles with abandon at Matt Berry's pronunciation, he refuses to adopt it as part of his every day speech  Oh, except for asking 'Some televisual pleasure?' in the evenings (we're wending our way through The Prisoner and Curb Your Enthusiasm at the moment.)

When he was doing the voice over of the bees I lost it. Just thinking about it makes me giggle like a toddler.

If you like Matt Berry radio samples (and who doesn't) he pretty much does the same thing as Toast does for Absolute 80s radio station. It was good enough before Toast of London started but the recording scenes add a whole level of enjoyment to my radio listening now.

As part of the Cold War Season BBC4 is rebroadcasting the Alex Guinness Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. It's good. For the pilot episode you could play duelling Smilies with Film 4 who were showing the 2011 version.

Was just nosing around the iPlayer, and they have Cagney and loving Lacey on demand. I imagine there is some poor bastard on an apprenticeship sat there, clutching an old video tape next to a vcr waiting for an interested party to click on it. Are you being served is sadly not available for all your prancing homosexuality and pussy needs.

Are You Being Served is on immediately after Cagney&Lacey every afternoon on BBC 2 and that is followed by 'Allo 'Allo! Great stuff.

Did anyone watch thread-favourite Jack Whitehall's new talk show with his influential dad side-kick? I saw a trailer for it where Paxman was slouching away like a contemptuous invertebrate.

Mr. Squishy posted:slouching away like a contemptuous invertebrate. This is an amazing image and I need to find a way to work it into conversation tomorrow. Glorious, thank you. But I didn't see the Jack Whitehall thing, because he is now and forever JP from Fresh Meat in my heart and I don't want it to be spoiled by seeing him in anything else, if possible. I watched Tudor Farm instead, and felt horribly smug to be living in a time period where central heating has been invented. Also, feel very grateful that I don't need to know how to give dirty sheep a bath, or figure out how to put shoes on a very angry goose.

Because from that it looked poo poo. e: looks like I'm going to watch it because it's on in my house and I've got no control over the doofer. ee: It's like it was written to be a funny interview-type show and then someone said "how about some sketches?" and the sketches are rubbish, it doesn't work like this imo. lets go swimming fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Nov 20, 2013 |

Honestly, I feel it would be BETTER if they just took Jack's dad out of it. It was alright, but his dad was the worst aspect by a large margin. He has NO comic timing at all. I know he's supposed to be the straight guy to Jack, but all that happens is he blows the entire routine by jumping in too soon or too late.

There was a time, before BBC4's Storyville, that I went to documentaries. They're currently showing Blackfish, barely out of the cinema, and a good watch if you want to see an Orca eat a person. e: and then there's a Peter Greenaway film on Film4 afterwards so today's a good day I guess.

I wonder if there was a single person who didn't say "jesus" repeatedly at Blackfish. The trainer keeping his cool as a whale tried to drown him, a man being crushed, an arm with a second elbow, a pool filling with blood from a fatally wounded orca, and then a Seaworld executive claiming that the whales are perfectly fine, and if they're not, it's for the greater good anyway.Mr. Squishy posted:e: and then there's a Peter Greenaway film on Film4 afterwards so today's a good day I guess. e update: they cut in the first advert break mid-way through a line of dialogue so gently caress it.

I watched it on iPlayer last night after Squishy posted about it. That scene with the bald fella was excruciating, but the scene after they took the orca's baby was the worst bit.

Well, Blackfish sounds like exactly the sort of thing I don't want to watch ever. But if you watched it and want cheering up, go check out Animal Odd Couples. It was on last night and it's on the iPlayer now and it is adorable. It's all wonderful, but here's two good bits: 1: A cat adopts some ducklings. 2: There's a bear and a tiger and a lion and they're best friends and have been since they were cubs.  Also if you've ever seen those pictures of an Orangutan with a pet dog, they went to visit him as well. He can swim too, proper breast stroke and everything.Actually, to be honest if I was going to describe all the best bits I'd just end up giving a blow-by-blow account. I'll link it so you've got no excuse not to watch it. Unless you're some kind of soulless monster. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03jp47m/Animal_Odd_Couples_Episode_1/

Yeah, just watched episode 1 (2 is on iplayer already). Interesting change of format, looking forward to the rest. Laura has been the vilest, most despicable person on TV for a few years now. She's amazing.

Dr. Sexy might be making the next Star Trek film...quote:He does say that Abrams is in the UK right now, in pre-production on Star Wars in advance of next spring's commencement of shooting at Pinewood Studios outside London. And that, by the by, the director/producer is not relinquishing Star Trek duties completely – the American has been in talks with Joe Cornish (of Adam & Joe comedy repute, but more pertinently, director of Attack the Block) about the Londoner helming the third instalment of the recent series.
