It was funnier than its felt in recent years (probably in the face of the subject matter) although the Brexit sequence soundtracked by that synth tune from A Clockwork Orange gave me a flutter of genuine anxiety. He's always used the Funeral For Queen Anne in the 'things are a bit poo poo' bits since Screenwipe.

I've always loved his music choices (not least his use of Grandaddy) but his shows haven't half ruined Beethoven's 7th for me.

Padje posted:the mechanical engineer's robot was the worst I've ever seen. The flipper was the wrong way round. You'd need to have an entire robot on top of you before you could even attempt to flip it. I don't get what was going on with that robot at all, why the gently caress make it like that? The second episode was a bit better but there were still too many robots with exposed tires that got exploded right at the start, too many short short fights.

Man, I wish INSIDE NO. 9 caught on more than it did. With a format like that it can never be all hits. But when it works it really works.

There's a couple of mediocre ones, but it's forgivable given that the episodes are short and given that you expect an anthology show to be hit and miss.

The only thing I remember about it is that I thought how much better the witch-hunt episode of Dr. Terrible's House of Horrible was. Maybe I've even commented about this in this very thread. So now I remember there was at least one forgettable episode.

Kin posted:From the odd times i've seen bits of an episode, it's just felt like a show that's crass for the sake of being crass. Typical BBC3 type garbage really. I just finished watching the first series, there's certainly a lot of crass stuff, but it's actually really well written and has some brilliant performances. Olivia Coleman's stepmother is really outstanding, and it has some unexpected emotional depth.

Watched INSIDE NO 9 again with my friend. There's a few lines in there that are chilling in hindsight. Great stuff, BBC should just let Shearsmith and Pemberton do whatever they want.

Did anyone watch that Bob Monkhouse thing on BBC4? I'd hesitate to say his standup was great, but the show as a whole was interesting. It did suffer slightly from having too many talking heads telling us how great the set was rather than just showing it.

It did suffer slightly from having too many talking heads telling us how great the set was rather than just showing it. They should really just have the whole special up on its own. But it was a fascinating show. Monkhouse not only wanted to get a room together of people he genuinely liked and to perform to them, but he also clearly wanted to share this history with them, as though he thought they were the only people who would appreciate it. It was very much the action of a man at the end of his life. And there's something very touching about that.

I kind of wished they did more with the concept, went full Beberian Sound Studio. But it just seemed like they mostly wanted to do a loving pastiche of those old Beeb horrors, which is fine, and they did it well, but tacked on the director thing and didn't develop it enough. But I've not rewatched it to spot any intricacies, and totally didn't think of the Savile thing.

I wouldn't mind all that shite (though I agree it's pretty dull and not what I watch this show for) if there was an actual interesting conspiracy with some depth to enjoy. It's all just so paper thin. Yeah it was more about the character development, but everything interesting that happened between Sherlock, Watson and Mary (as characters) could've easily happened as part of the backdrop to a more interesting narrative, without any of the spy poo poo being involved.
