Does my self-destructive media consumption tendencies go as far as to see a movie starring Jack Whitehall in the cinema?

Answer: I paid money to see Fant4stic. Plus I actually...kinda enjoyed Bad Education...

They fired the camera crew from that as scapegoats for everything taking too long. Following that the production hired extra security for Whitehall in case of vengeful camera bods. Lot of problems with BBC3 producers expecting their feature film to be exactly the same as their small-scale studio comedy.

I watched an episode of ITV's Travel Guide ("to Dubai"), a program where the producers scour the country to find the worst people possible (except one couple, who seemed cool) and send them to the Middle East, and now I think I understand why ISIS exist.

Did anyone see that Top Coppers on BBC3 Wednesday night? Mate of mine from Uni wrote it, but I didn't get a chance to see if it was any good yet. Seems like a British Danger 5 by the trailer.

There's not nearly enough attempting to kill Hitler in that trailer to make it Danger 5.

I haven't finished watching, but I hope Dorret goes. Can't believe that she didn't practice her show stopper. IIRC she's a project manager?

I won't say good, but that was pretty inevitable - she's been mediocre every episode.

An idiot.

The 3 who have gone so far were all really annoying, not sure who of the rest are going to start to grate. Possibly the fireman, he does a lot of mugging to camera.

I like Nadiya, but she seems to struggle with the technicals. Paul is too smug - I hope he doesn't last.


Watching 'Very British Problems' now. The office tea club segment was accurate. I rebelled against my office tea-club and started bringing my own coffee in because I resented paying for their milk and sugar when all I had was black coffee. The breaking point though was the day no-one had a drink until 3 in the afternoon because no-one wanted to get up and make that round of tea.

I like Nadiya too, her wee face is so expressive, it's hilarious watching her squeak and grin and stare in saucer-eyed horror at her oven in the background of most of the shots.

Think and hope Tamal the Anaesthesiologist will make the final three. He seems an all round decent sort.

Just going to say that British TV is amazing and the one thing I missed on holiday. Waking up to Bill/Louise/Charlie/Naga/Steph/Carol etc is infinitely better than CNN's 24hrs of Trump (punctuated by health insurance ads) or Canadian news networks showing local traffic all morning. There is way to much screen furniture on those channels too.

PS, RIP quality, accurate (mostly) weather on the beeb.

Nah, they'll get massively underbid by someone.

The BBC will have to accept it, the quality of forecast will drop, complaints against the BBC will rise, the push for removal of the license fee will gain supporters, and we will step ever closer to the glorious free-market of television that we deserve.

Given that they have done thing zero to adapt I can't say I feel too sorry for the BBC (Nay, Liner TV in general, [Adult Swim] UK is Rick and Morty with half the episodes missing and Mr. Pickles, on a channel that only airs on Sky, at 1 am in the morning when only the most dedicated and out of that most out of their drat mind will see it) as it slowly sinks into the Tarpit like the growing dinosaur that it is.

What are you even talking about? The BBC has done a lot to "adapt" (in what timeframe?) where they haven't be deliberately hamstrung (like the iPlayer not being a giant archive of everything ever.)

Don't believe the propaganda.

Because if you keep making the BBC worse and worse, eventually you can use "but it's poo poo!" as an argument to get rid of it entirely, which is exactly what the tories want.

Doing it herself. She then got hit by a van later that day.

I love that they always balance the ridiculous cases out with normal ones. Woman tries home rhinoplasty and gets hit by a van...little boy with peanut allergy eats some peanut butter.

A country where you can always get richer.

He was the ethical surgeon's dorky son, who was feeling unloved because of his foreskin, and since his dad didn't approve of such procedures (the ethics, you see) he did it himself and nearly bled out. This was like, in episode 2 season 1.
