Limmy is loving brilliant. Those of you that haven't watched his sketch show should really find a way to get it.

"Moments of Wonder" is like a look into the future of British documentaries.

I assume that's what brooker was parodying in that excellent bit. I like to try and catch 'in our time' http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl if I can. Bit of actually brain stuff. Try it, very dry, sometimes the subjects aren't something you are interested in but there is no loving 'dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna'

Answers Me posted: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. I haven't seen it, but a lot of hour-long BBC docs have an extra 15 minutes (making-of segments for Attenbourgh stuff for example) so they can sell the main bit to fit in hour long slots on channels that have adverts.

I particularly liked the fact that Diane Morgan is basically from the same neck of the woods as Brian Cox, so the accent really fit well.

Does anyone know what happened to Louie Theroux? He was doing documentaries every year but last year is like the first since 98 that he's missed a year.

A post on his official Facebook from December: quote:Apologies for not posting recently. For the past year I have been living in Los Angeles and working on three new shows, all set here. The idea is that they shed light on different aspects of the American cultural scene. We have now delivered one, and two more are getting close to being done. More to follow...

Huh, uncanny, I just watched through Weird Weekends yesterday. I'm still disappointed that they didn't do another christmas show in the second season, if only to see professional wrestlers celebrating christmas with swingers and black nationalists.

Here in Ireland they have blocked all their shows, but the 4 loving ads they force you to watch work alright. Must have tricked many a person thinking it was a set up problem and who tried to tinker with it to get it to work.

Fearne Cotton is tellywank for people too poor or lazy to use the internet. Lauren Laverne has been skirting the edges of TV for years since The Girly Show, I thought she was OK on the 10 o'clock show but most episodes the guys just kept interrupting her and she ended up acting like she was trying to keep them under control, which is not what she's best at. Charlie Brooker's hair is like the Godwins law of British TV threads and Limmy was great in the IT crowd. I hated Masterchef when it was first on and the only good thing about it was the Reeves and Mortimer parody of it. There, I'm caught up. e: nigella yes I would, but audio only

Not that i know of, channel 4 has always been massively behind in the online department, with the ludicrous amount of ads if you don't use adblock to the myriad of channels they have now essentially just filled with repeats of channel 4 shows 4music, more4, e4, 4seven (which to me is the most pointless of the lot) and all the +1's. Its like someone at channel 4 desperately wants to avoid using online catchup services in favour of possibly seeing it repeated on proper telly. the only good think they ever did was put select e4 shows up a week early online but that is pretty rare.

Adverts annoying a bit yes but they have to pay for it somehow don't they. In general there is a 3 minute one at the start of the program and a couple of 30-60 second ones in the middle. If the Beeb could open up the vaults in the same way it would be great.

Adverts on 4oD aren't the problem. It's when the adverts work, the programme doesn't, and you end up having to sit through the adverts a second or third time.

Seaside Loafer posted:That's bollocks. They have basically the entire catalogue on 4oD, there is allot of poo poo obviously but you have every good programme you can name, every series every episode. Its superior to BBC online in terms of available content. Id never gotten around to watching Green Wing for example until the other week and there it is, every single one. i think you have misunderstood what i am getting at, since 2006 when they put up everything they own, what (apart from superficial cosmetic changes to 4od) has improved? With iplayer you can at least watch shows in hd and recently you can rewind to the start of a live program if you missed the start of it which is incredibly handy, those are just two examples of decent improvements since iplayer went live. I just find it a bit weird that they are concentrating making GBS threads out repeat channels like 4seven NaDy posted:Adblock really does solve all of these problems, it's magical. Yeah this.

Yeah, if I want to load up 4OD on my PS3 to watch something so I can keep surfing on my laptop or playing a vidja game, it is such a hellish frustration that doesn't work about 3/4 of the time. It's only the virtue of there being such a lot of excellent content on 4OD that it's worth bothering with at all.
