The Beeb have done a cracking job with Stargazing Live this year. Tonight's line-up has been spot on in being informative and entertaining, and not getting side-tracked.

Did anyone watch BBC2's The Hidden World of Britain's Immigrants? It seemed to be a prog which followed around the most destitute people imaginable: heroin addicts with arms so scabbed they look like tree-bark; homeless people who cry with joy upon receiving a single room in a shared house; perpetually comatose alcoholics trying to deal with the bureaucracy of the Foreign Office, and asks them the question "why don't you gently caress off home?" I say "seemed" because I only watched 15 minutes coming off Midsomer Murders (now with the occasional black person!). On a related note, Father Brown's back on, no black people spotted yet.

The immigrant with the scabby arms had psoriasis. One of those featured (all of whom were illegals) had told officials numerous times he was desperate to leave the country, partly because he was homeless and partly because his Indian Army pension would run out and his family in India relied on it. For some reason they wouldn't put him on a plane.

Planes, paperwork and court proceedings cost money. Cheaper to let him live on the streets.

It's crazy though that she won a competition to be a presenter for a bit on a lovely kids tv programme and managed to make a successful career out of it. The other guy was called Des by the way.

Is there any particular reason that the show is split up? The credits roll, there's a little break...and then back to the studio for a 'different' programme. I know the thing on after the main show is a little different but it still seems like an odd quirk.

A certain Robin Ince gets very annoyed when you mention Dara and Brian doing TV together. He's pitched similar shows for years off the back of his radio stuff with him and got a no every time and then Science Club arrived. But the shows are great. Also this was just announced today. Channel 4 space season including live shows from the ISS: http://t.co/Jgs1KVBeNq

Dara has such an amazingly bubbly personality though; he clearly takes the show seriously but with an appropriate amount of wonder and glee that transfers into the audience; I doubt Ince could bring that same energy. And yeah, the Channel 4 show sounds cool, but their choice of presenters really illustrates how little face talent they have. I guess that's what you get being a void of good content for 90% of the year.

Having just got back in (and missing Weekly Wipe), Channel 4 presents me with "What Happens in Sunny Beach" where apparently a chap called Nipsy has somehow ripped his arsehole open. What a name/content combo. E. With a firework. What a superstar. Devol_Tettran fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Jan 9, 2014 |
