Where did you get this hot scoop? Also, The Honourable Woman's ending was good. No one saluted a baby. Still not entirely sure it makes a great deal of sense though, but it felt plausible up til the end.

Quite a coincidence, that. The editing on this show is bothering me loads this season. It has a Geordie Shore feel to it. Edit: Makes me wonder if Iain kept schtum and Diane's "crime" only became apparent after a rough edit in the following days? At which point they faced the dilemma of editing the crime out of the show and risk Iain/others revealing the "shocking truth" or being reasonably "honest" about what happened (whilst not showing the exact length of time the ice-cream was out) and giving Diane the polite option of withdrawing due to "illness"?

Poor woman  Probably the worst thing to happen to someone who loves baking.The way the episode was presented, I was fully expecting a Hell's Kitchen style blow out with ripped off microphones but instead it came across as Iain getting incredibly fed up and leaving to cool down for a bit. I felt pretty bad for him when the judging came around, it reminded me of being the only person in class who forgot their homework. I'm really hoping they tone down the reaction shots and comments out of context, I don't want a program about cakes to be treated with the life-or-death seriousness of Masterchef.

It's on BBC1 now, it has to be dramatic. Can't have twee cheerfulness too close to Eastenders, you'd risk some sort of matter-antimatter explosion.

Ireland Sucks posted:That sounds like a proper Given she supposedly had a fall the day before and then lost her sense of taste and smell thus making her unable to cook it is a bit fortuitous. No word if she had any visible injuries to show from this opportune fall. Also Iain has come out saying that his Ice Cream was out for a lot more than just the 40 seconds than has been mentioned. Does seem like there is a lot of bizarre damage control going on to protect a 69 year old Saboteur.

I imagine Mrs Brown's Boys is a pretty polarising programme but Brendan O'Carroll's episode of Who Do You Think You Are is great insight into the Irish troubles in the 1920's. No surprise I didn't learn about this stuff in History :/ Edit: confused a rugby player with a cross dresser tdrules fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Aug 28, 2014 |

At least we have Martha for the the twee and cheerful child-like delight at every tiny thing to happen. And I hope that when I go grey, I do it with half as much style as Chetna. That poo poo's impressive.

I've been watching bake off not because I enjoy the food or the contestants or anything, but the slowly mounting tension. I wish there was a meat equivalent, or cheese. Shame BBC3 went along with Butcher of the Year. Has BBC3 gone yet?

I've never even seen the program until yesterday when I randomly caught John Bishop's episode, which was pretty interesting just to see how highly regarded minstrel (black face) players were during the late 1800s. I noticed Stephen Fry did an episode while watching a Youtube documentary he and Alan Davies did about the emotional response to music and the effect it has on the body using Alan's first opera last night too. Will have to check this out since I'm shamefully unlearned on the history of my own country, even recent stuff. I've been poking around the forum to see if anyone was mentioning "50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy" and haven't seen anything about it. Did anyone else here even catch it when it aired Monday? Watching a 70 year old woman firing off a machine gun and then tazer her son had me in stitches and I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the more wild antics the show has planned, like wrestling an alligator, snake charming, tarantula hunting, white water rapids riding and so on. It reminds me a lot of "An Idiot Abroad", but fixing the two biggest issues I had with the series: no Ricky Gervais or Stephen Merchant and with a host who was normally a lot happier to be out of their depth.

Just saw Duck Quacks Don't Echo, it's atrocious. It's like QI except if Stephen Fry wasn't there and if they spent the whole episode on one of their meandering trivial interludes.

Richard Herring is recording a new series of the Leicester Square Podcasts at the end of the month, with the November 24th finale being a TMWRNJ reunion with Stewart Lee and as many of the other cast members as he can muster.

My mum's birthday is around this date, she loves Stewart Lee and every single year I try to get tickets and by the time I find out they're all sold out. Last year we ended up getting tickets on a day she wasn't in the country and I went with my partner instead and the year before there was a cock-up with the tickets at the box office and we ended standing at the bar for the whole show. This year she is both on another continent and there are no tickets. Curse you Stewart Lee and your popularity! Curse you comedy attending London liberal inteligentsia elite who bought tickets before me!

Not TV but the beeb: there's going to be a Radio 4 adaptation of Good Omens starring Mark Heap and Peter Serafinowicz as Aziraphale and Crowley respectively. Also Paterson Joseph as Famine. And a few other people. I want to know who Simon Jones and Clive Russell are playing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2014/r4-good-omens

Good Omens was one of my favourites as a teenager, and it would probably adapt better to radio than it would to TV or cinema, given the way the humour is so heavily dependant on wordplay. Look forward to the scene where Crowley and Aziraphael have a meandering conversation on the nature of eternity, CS Lewis and the Sound of Music while getting astonishingly rat-arsed on wine in the London Ritz. As for Clive Russell, surely he must play Shadwell, the Witchfinder Sergeant, and most Northern Man on Earth.

Have to wait a while for it though, from the link: quote:Fans will have to wait excitedly to hear the final drama as it is currently scheduled to air in December. It will broadcast across a week in five half-hour episodes and culminate in an hour-long final apocalyptic showdown, on a Saturday, shortly before Woman’s Hour, should the world not actually end.

That's pretty drat good casting. Serafinowicz and Heap might be pretty much how I imagined Crowley and Aziraphale to sound.

This weeks' new Grand Designs was hilarious in its' utter disregard for building site health and safety regulations. Was kind of like watching the opening scenes of Casualty, kept wondering who was going to drown in cement, lose a hand to a power saw or get squashed by a falling prefabricated wall being hoisted over a house by a crane driver asleep on the job. The end result was a poky, unpainted chipboard hellhole, but it was flipping hilarious watching the inexperienced builder staring in terror as 2 tons of pressed spruce wood went flying past his stupid face.

Chetnas' hair is amazing, this is the truth, and I loved her torte-thing, with its' little sugary bubbles on it (kind of reminded me of a Dalek in chocolate-caramel form). My favourite GBBO contestants are Nancy, who takes every opportunity to mock and belittle Paul Hollywood, and Richard the Builder, whose motto, in true builder-style is "eh, gently caress it, looks about right to me". But I fear Luis will win, because he is rather boringly perfect at pretty much everything.
