I'm having fun pretending that this isn't a mistake. Did anyone watch The Great Interior Design Challenge? Don't, it's garbage. I'm guessing from the title that the stricken BBC2, having had the Bake Off wrested from their hands, threw the idea ball around until someone panicked and said "Changing Rooms again." Also BBC4 is showing Project Nim right now, which is a great doc on man's inhumanity to Also, looking around Iplayer I see they've uploaded some vintage Attenborough.

Is tranny really the most offensive thing ever? It's just a shortening of transexual a bit like Paki is short for Pakistani. I was totally distracted by the fact the Bully Dad on Uncle ep 2 was the guy from Band of Brothers. Edit: I was kidding!

tentish klown posted:They're part of the drive to *direct* people towards teaching instead of business, not because there are many transferable skills but because the compensation for being a teacher, especially for the top graduates that Teach First is targeted at, pales in comparison with the compensation for going into business. It's funny, when the engineering bloke (I have only seen part of one episode, I do not know their names) was at the pub with his graduate friends and they were teasing him that he made the least money out of all of them, my housemate said 'I bet he still makes more than we do'. Then, lo and behold, he started talking about his salary and indeed, he does! Hurrah for working in print media.

A decent engineering degree can be a pretty great way to walk straight into making money. A old friend of mine got paid 16k while on the sandwich year of his degree, because he was only on 50% of starting salary.

I don't know what the consensus is on House of Fools but Vic & Bob in a mock sitcom environment with Matt Berry talking complete nonsense is great. Especially considering how terrible post Lamarr Shooting Stars/Catterick were.

Thanks to whoever recommended Uncle. I would've never watched it after seeing the trailer. But I really like it so far. For some reason I thought his girlfriends dad was Noel Fielding at first.

Just watched the second episode of Uncle. It's great, and it actually manages to do the unthinkable and has a child as a main character yet manages to not be irritating. Plus it has Daniel Laurence Taylor as a side character, and he's great too.

Can any UKers with spare time send a complaint through iPlayer about "Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe - Series 2 - Episode 2"? Maybe more than 1 complaint might make them care for once. The subtitles have been hosed up ever since it was put up and the show expires from being on iPlayer tomorrow. The subtitles are still hosed up in spite of me complaining on Sunday. It's really aggravating and not the first time they have done this. They talk a pretty game in the response emails but they very rarely actually fix the problem before the show expires from being available. So I haven't been able to properly watch Charlie making GBS threads Brooker episode 2 in spite of trying every single day. Ah, I'm so mad.

Will have to check Uncle out. Anyone seen the new 'This is Jinsy'? I half liked it when the first season came out, it's got a surreal feel to it and some set piece jokes are good. The story lines are dull though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Wuziuwi_0

Ratjaculation posted:"Thank you. The iPlayer team will use this information to help resolve the issue." Me too. I must make a mental note to report when the subtitles are rubbish, rather than just turning them off. I don't need them, but if my reporting will help people who do, I'm happy to help.

iPlayer subtitles have always been buggered more often than not in my experience, for years and years. I have no idea how this problem has gone unsolved for so long.

Nothing ever gets fixed on the iPlayer; you're all wasting your time. Half of the poo poo that gets sent in to them isn't even read by the team.

Charlie Brooker MUST make a montage of all the mentions of "black cock" on winterwatch. It's got to be deliberate.

Maybe more than 1 complaint might make them care for once. For some reason they live-subbed that episode, rather than having them be properly subbed, like episode 1. And they will probably do this for the next four episodes. Junkenstein posted:This starts two weeks Monday: Thanks for the heads up, I'm pretty excited for this.

Can anyone tell me who plays the Simon bloke in this weeks Silent Witness? Looks familiar but it's not an up to date IMDB, I found that out when Tobias Menzies guest starred in one a few weeks back.

Thanks, he has one of those faces I guess. Also, I'm a fan of Silent Witness but I'm hoping that this week isn't another inside job because surely the writers realise how stale that angle is becoming?

Rarity posted:Fair play to Limmy, his segment on Weekly Wipe was much better this week I expected his segment to be more preachy about Scottish independence like his twitter is, but thankfully he toned it down and it was quite funny, probably because it looks like the Scottish independence movement looks like its going to be a failure and that side of things is harder to joke about when you believe in it.
