TheHoodedClaw posted:gently caress TFIF. It was always wanky lad bollocks. The Tube was the great show. Sadly, Jools Holland, Leslie Ash and Muriel Grey are all different people nowadays, and poor Paula Yates is dead, but this is what you used to get on your tea-time music show on Channel 4: I would rather listen to Ocean Colour Scene, Blur and Pulp than any of those bollocks bands. With the exception of The Bunnymen. U2 lol.

On the other hand, an unsurprisingly large number are cultural snobs who insist that their preferred thing is much better than your preferred thing and you should really enjoy this thing they insist is better rather than whatever thing you normally enjoy.

It's just what you are exposed to at about 13 seems much more vital. Anyway, forgive an old man for having a nostalgia fest late on a Friday, and thinking that it was a good idea to post the links in this thread. I've got a really bad hangover right now, so please shooosh. You're right about Paula though, but she was the worst in a good way.

I wouldn't be upset if it was, since I love Dara O'Briain but don't really care about Mock the Week. If that went, he might do something better in it's place.

Mock the Week, a show that's always been as terrible and unimaginative as its own title.

I want Dara O'Briain, Professor Brian Cox and maybe someone else smart and funny like Chris Addison or Ben Goldacre to make a Top Gear style show about science and technology instead of cars, where the BBC funds them to fly around the world to meet innovators and inventors in lots of different fields and shoot the poo poo with them while trying out their latest inventions. Not just dopey poo poo like slightly better mobile phones, but properly exciting stuff like printable bionics, augmented reality, sixthsense and so on - stuff they can play with and have some fun with on camera essentially.

Science Club bombed but it was a good start. On a side note, if you ever get a chance to talk to Robin Ince, ask him how he feels about Science Club. That was a fun conversation. He'd been pitching a similar show for years and they never went for it.

The problem with that is that it's just not very bombastic or energizing, it's more thoughtful and exploratory. If you stick less to subjects like reproduction or time travel and more to actual inventions and technology you have stuff you can show off, play around with and get people interested in science through them.

I am younger than The Tube and I think that the bulk of Britpop was overmarketed, bland rehashing of the previous 30 years of British rock, that your links were good, and that the bands therein piss from a great height onto Ocean Colour Scene's face and eyes. Also, some of the piss has splashed into their mouths; ladies and gentlemen, the situation speaks for itself.

What is it about 90s music that makes people angrily insist that widely popular music was terrible and Damon Albarn was tantamount to a child murderer? I've seen this exact argument like five times in he past week because of TFI Friday. And as for the other discussion going on, they should reboot Tomorrow's World but "Top Gear-ify" it. It seems crazy that we don't have TW on any more with all the crazy poo poo that's being invented these days.

Tomorrow's world would just turn into the gadget show that's on channel 5. Not that there's anything wrong with that, there's a definite place on telly for a programme that keeps up with the toys and novelties coming out.

I certainly wouldn't have thought finding a couple of presenters who get on well and giving them more freedom to play around with their content along with locations and allowing them to play around with their subjects in fun ways would be the way to do it if you could though. goatface posted:Tomorrow's world would just turn into the gadget show that's on channel 5. Not that there's anything wrong with that, there's a definite place on telly for a programme that keeps up with the toys and novelties coming out. The point would be not to have everything be about gadgets that you'll be able to buy in a years time, but to be about stuff that is only in development and might not be around for a decade or more as a consumer goods as well as stuff that isn't consumer at all like NASA and ESA projects, the LHC, robotics development from MIT and so on.

I've seen this exact argument like five times in he past week because of TFI Friday. To be fair, it was terrible then too - not just now. I don't hate Albarn because I don't mind Gorillaz, but the cheese loving one is a bit of a tool and the Oasis vs Blur thing just had me hating both sides.

Both Albarn and Coxon came across as awful cunts to me in that doc that came out when they got back together, but I found the other two ok in that. Despite that, I have liked pretty much every music project Albarn's been involved in. Thought The Good The Bad and The Queen's album was excellent.

Damon Albarn's entire career has been justified by how loving mad Michael Nyman got at the inclusion of 'hollerin' into the score they did together. Also Monkey was fun. In summary C4 should just put hollerin on TV.
