The latest episode made me physically laugh a lot more than usual, which I felt was a pretty shocking and unforgivable betrayal of the format. Not tuning in next week.

It wasn't bad, but the material was pretty much shooting fish in a barrel for his audience. The satire one was brilliant, though.

What they've done to iPlayer Radio (including deleting everyone's favourites) is a complete joke. I think it's prompting people to give feedback though and I did and it was loving BRUTAL. That'll learn 'em.

3 was funnier than 2. i think there was a bit more variety in 3 - like the stuff with the animal park / really wild show / etc - than just the political part. but in 2 he stayed closer to the ukip thread throughout.

BBC 3 went a bit darker than usual tonight. Life and Death Row followed the cases of two of the two youngest men on death row in Texas, interviewing them, and their victims/victims' families, in the days leading up to the executions. It's not brilliant but it's not your usual BBC 3 fare, either. There was a thing about prostitutes as well but I didn't watch that. Has anyone seen the new Linehan garbage on BBC 4, The Walshes? It's on iPlayer and I don't recommend it, at all.

The Film section of the Iplayer is filling up again. My Week With Marlyn, The Shooting Party, The Last Station, and Page Eight, a Bill Nighey film that shows you what John leCarré would be like if he was irredeemably bad at his job.

Why've they taken the ability to rewind live TV away from iplayer? That was one of the only things I ever used it for, dagnammit. I mean you could rewind up to two hours before, now it won't even put the news on from the start. edit: well it seems none of it is working maybe it's just me stickyfngrdboy fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Mar 19, 2014 |

Previously I have been a big fan of Stewart Lee though this series has felt a little flat to me for some reason. Perhaps my tastes have changed, though I'm not digging it as much, seems a little too aware of what buttons to push regarding his audience (though I suppose every comedian does this I guess). I just watched the UKIP one and stopped once he started singing about nothing. Maybe I am getting bored of what once drew me to him, what once brought a smile now makes me roll my eyes, what appeared at first to be mysterious now appears immature. It's not you, it's me. And I will regret the tattoo of his name on my neck in a cursive font. Did anyone bother to watch W1A?

The part i enjoy the most about the new series is exactly what you have grown tired with. I love watching him skillfully pull the audience around with him, misdirecting and manipulating them, pushing their buttons to further deconstruct the joke until there is, well, nothing. And then Chris Morris makes him look like he's a fraud for doing it.

I enjoyed season 1 of SLCV a lot more than anything since. Even with the abundance of poo poo sketches, the stand-up felt a lot stronger than anything since. I don't know...ultrabindu posted:Why did Page Eight get such good write ups in the broadsheets? What is going on here? It was just strange and dull. I genuinely don't know how anyone could watch more than ten minutes of it and not dismiss it as poo poo. I guess the Graun hacks liked it because it was aimed at them like a loving missile. The characters deformed themselves to yell about which minority they were, showing how inclusive the Beeb is. That or a general hangover of liking leCarré or Gambon.

Googlebox is getting to be a guilty pleasure of mine. The UKIP candidates (Grey haired chap slurps his wine and says 'Perhaps they could do something about those.. unemployed and you knew he stopped himself saying blacks, and his pissed sloaney partner), the family with a podgy baby Vikki Pollard, the old Wirral couple who are just comfortable and sweet, and the family with mute long haired guy who I am sure must be a goon. Yes, I am watching people watching TV, and enjoying it. I am the one they pander to.

It's dreadful, like everything he has done after father Ted, which I suspect Arthur Matthews did most of the good work on that. The it crowd got by simply because it was about nerds and computers and the internet will lap up any old tripe about those subjects as long as they aren't made fun of directly. It was just as terrible though. The walshes is like some relic from the 90s that wouldn't even be even notable then.

I have been enjoying a show called Bluestone 42, which is based on a squad of soldiers in Afghanistan who deal with IED's. It's in its second season, and has been renewed for a third. Well worth a watch.
