Clearly it is escalation. His next step is to set up and entire channel and then oversee all the programming to take the piss out of Channel 4 entirely.

I think it's the fact that Toast is a total bellend but also totally lovable. I think it's a combination of his complete ignorance of pop culture, Clem's bullying and Ray Purchase being even worse.

I particularly enjoy how his ridiculous enunciation can still catch me off guard (as in the 'rear end-iiiiiid' bit in this week's show).

Haha yesss. Loved his childlike curiosity when hearing about high winds acting too. Incidentally, right now two different terrestrial channels are both broadcasting a programme containing a sympathetic depiction of a paedophile. Odd coincidence.

The moose trap episode of toast was some of the best comedy I've seen in ages. It had everything. The plot tied together even back to the opening clem fandango studio opener. Matter berry doing HIS VOICE in the best possible way. Oh gently caress knows, the whole thing was great, like none of the minutes in it were wasted. Everything was funny and had a point.

So uh The Missing... I genuinely think this is a good show but I think there's a bit too much going on for it to really leave an impact. The first two episodes were brilliant and heart wrenching but since then it seems to have lost a bit of focus. There's so many strands in the plot and it just doesn't feel as immediate and real as it initially seemed. The performances are very good though and I think that helps it a lot. I'm really looking forward to how they resolve it but it feels like it takes an interesting, taboo subject and then turning it into a standardy twisty drama. I think I might have preferred a show about how such an unthinkable occurrence can change the people involved. At this point, the missing child just feels like a plot device that makes people do things I can't quite believe. The end of episode 3(?) with the videotape was horrifying though... Also enjoying The Fall. The cast are great but it's bordering on silly. I have a feeling it will play it smarter than The Missing though. I'd be surprised/disappointed if it continues after this series...

Secrets of the Castle is pretty awesome but mainly the project itself, rather than the antics of those 3 presenters. I wish it was just a straight documentary. You've got people with years of experience in medieval building techniques but we get to see the faltering efforts of people with zero skills instead. Bah!

The classic 1981 Day of the Triffids series is being shown on BBC Four and the first two episodes are on iplayer. If you've never watched it you should, because it's ace.

Strom Cuzewon posted:Is it? Is it really? I find it hard to believe there's actually been a decent adaptation of that ever. It's pretty good, yeah. The problem with Triffids is it's too flabby. There's nothing gained from having the Triffids be a human creation which coincidentally take over due to the unrelated meteor shower or that the main character be an expert in them. It's simpler, but admittedly more cliche, to make the meteor shower a natural delivery method for the Triffids.

Doesn't seem to be much chat about Babylon in here, which I find surprising. I really enjoyed the first couple of episodes, now that they seem to be linking some of the characters instead of it just being disparate arms of the met like it seemed in the pilot. I think that Phoneshop bloke is great as well.

It's simpler, but admittedly more cliche, to make the meteor shower a natural delivery method for the Triffids. The triffids didn't coincidentally take over at just the right time; they'd been around since the protagonists childhood. They were a weird but valuable crop that everyone was accustomed to. They were kept in parks and gardens and spread all over the world. That the protagonist was an expert wasn't a weird coincidence either, he was just one of many survivors. He didn't have access to a top secret lab with a weapon to stop them, his expertise just meant he knew the danger they posed and we the readers get to share his frustrations that no one else could see it. You could only include the triffids in the "meteors" as a third WMD but first, walking plants are a goofy idea at the best of times without weaponizing them; second, blindness and the plague makes them pretty superfluous as well as being more credible weapons themselves; third and more importantly, the theme that people were always 'blind' to danger is lost if you don't establish the Triffids as something normal and safe at the start. bitterandtwisted fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Nov 26, 2014 |

Seaside Loafer posted:I dont want to watch that missing thing. Everyone keeps saying what quality it is but it just looks like it would bloody depressing. It's a well-executed drama and it pulls all the right heartstrings, so if you generally react to dramas that way, I reckon it might be a tad depressing to watch. However, I didn't find it all that gut-wrenching, so I say give it a go anyway. As a side note, my brother went missing with a friend in Greece when I was about ten and it was hell for the families until both safely returned on their own the next day. The Greece police weren't too keen on looking for them before two days or whatever, and nobody really cared at the hotel. Makes me wonder how realistic the initial reaction of the town in the show was.

The opening three episodes of The Missing were mysterious and exciting, and the last couple have been a bit formulaic and dull. The way nesbitt's character discovered the link between the two paedophiles was really stupid. I wonder how involved the English copper is, because the way he became involved seemed a little daft to me, as well. Did the thing nesbitt and his father in law discussed in the beer garden just after the boy went missing ('do you think it's related to that thing we did?') get resolved? If it did I completely missed it.

Has it been weeks? I'm not sure. The first 2 episodes conveyed this sense of urgency, but from episode 3 Nesbitt seems a lot more relaxed than he should be, hanging out at bars and pubs, etc. Maybe i missed something and episode 4's past takes place like a month or two after the kidnapping, but it just breaks the sense of urgency.

Watch this weeks' Come Dine With Me in the older guy's art-warehouse-house for the single most concentrated bit of embarrassment you'll ever encounter. It triggers the "curl up into a ball" reflex so hard you'll get sucked into your own bowels.

I despise catchphrase comedy, but the lack of "Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango" in the new series is majorly putting me off. Also less time dedicated to the voice-over sessions is doing that too.
