Even as someone who never liked Boosh it pains me to see how far Fielding continues to sink.

I was trying to mean Fielding was the Nathan Barley figure, trying to be the hip new trendsetter, ending up shacked up with Amy Winehouse for a few weeks as the next Lennon/Ono, then dumped and made a fool of himself on camera.. /sigh Is he in the new Julian Barratt film? Edit: No lol.

This pottery programme is good fun, enjoying it more than I could ever have expected. It's all made by the same people as Bake off and sewing bee. Sewing bee was quietly dropped by the Been, so I image it won't be back for a third year.

Oh I love the Pottery show and that turtle toilet was a thing of rare beauty. I also get my 'skilled people making stuff' fix from the Landscape and Portrait Artist of the year on Sky Arts, it's such great chilled out tv, especially the landscape one.

Rondette posted:https://youtu.be/4yaoiL5srGQ This is more of a double KO, really, and it's something I've always felt strongly about panel shows. The host really needs to have authority, and Simon Amstell is a substitute teacher. It's a matter of taste whether you find him funnier than Mark Lamarr, but without question he was a less capable host. Mark had the skill of a good compère, putting down a rowdy heckler before they ruin the main act. It's an underappreciated talent, as the past 15 years of light entertainment commissioning prove. Take Humphrey Littleton, sadly departed and dearly missed, not least from the line-up of I'm Sorry I haven't A Clue. Admittedly that's not so tough a gig, with the whole panel being comedians and a largely stable line-up. But having someone at the centre who's apparently nonplussed and destaining of the whole thing give it a solid base, from which it's a bit safer to launch off and be silly. I can see why they tried Jack Dee there, although dour and depressed doesn't seem to work as well. Angus Deaton is another fine example, because in his heyday Have I got News For You ticked along nicely. Not too much overbearing from Ian or silliness from Paul, the excess of the guests and panellists alike was kept in check. It did fall apart once his love-life was splashed across the tabloids, and they were right to let him go because it broke his grip on the reins. The problem is that bringing in an endless cycle of guest hosts doesn't fix that either, and the lunatics ended up running the asylum. What all three had in common was the ability to be above it all, being funny while remaining the straight man, and that gave them authority. Is the best example currently on telly Jimmy Carr in 8 out of 10 Cats? Bringing it back to Simon Amstell, he's created an interesting sounding mockumentary called Carnage - Swallowing The Past, which sounded interesting from the Mark Kermode preview. Should be out on iPlayer tomorrow http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2017/simon-amstell-carnage

I think that lack of authority is the perfect juxtaposition that makes Buzzcocks so loving hilarious. For the record I fookin' love Simon Amstell, he's great. 420 Simon Amstell everyday. Buzzcocks is funnier than QI, I like both but Buzzcocks is definitely more like if the children ran things and had fun, compared to QI which is very prim and proper and pretty serious.

Alan Davies being the village idiot is so incredibly stale now. They really should have downgraded him from ever-present when Fry went.

Yeah Davies and Fry's interplay as like, frustrated school teacher and smartass pupil worked well, but you can't keep one half of a double act and pretend nothings different.

Davies is not the villiage idiot though with Toksvig. He's more the swot now, trying to get them right most of the last few episodes I saw. I do hate his once per episode 'its X Sandi, ITS X SANDI, ITS X' shouting.

Davies was there to be the idiot to Fry's headmaster. Then he developed a pathetic arseache because of that very lucrative job. I am not at all surprised that he's got to be seen as clever now.

Have any insiders ever written anything about how panel shows are designed (e.g. teams, regulars vs guest stars, etc.)? I feel like it would be an interesting thing to read about

Ironically I suspect that one of the reasons Davies wanted to do that character in the first place was to avoid getting typecast as a brainbox after playing Jonathan Creek for all those years

Not that I've seen, but if you check out any episodes of RHLSTP or Comedian's Comedian featuring any of the regular panel show crew they will often speak about them a bit. Mostly about how they are all a nightmare except Would I Lie to You.

Gum posted:Any particular episodes you'd recommend? For RHLSTP the Mark Addy one is worth it for the Sean Bean anecdote/impression alone https://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/richard_herring_lst_podcast/york_2_mark_addy/ I find the ones with the stand up comedians I've never heard of tend to be funnier than the ones with more recognisable names. I can't think of any that are bad, but the Jessica Hynes is very boring and a laugh free zone, and the recent Peter Serafinowicz one was also a bit dull. Just go with the names you like, then try the rest. Although you might just want to listen to it in order so you get the progression of certain jokes.

IIRC Jimmy Carr is on the Comedian's Comedian podcast and he speaks about panel shows for a bit, particularly about how some comedians are especially badly prepared for them. David Mitchell I think speaks about panel shows at least briefly on one of his RHLSTP epidsodes, but both are worth listening to anyway. Oh yeah the Peter Serafinowicz episode really wasn't all that funny. Kind of interesting though. Top episodes off the top of my head just for general listening (RHLSTP): Bob Mortimer / Limmy / Johnny Vegas - Tied for best ever. Louis Theroux Richard Bacon All Adam Buxton ones Miles Jupp Ray Peacock just for the insanity that occurs. Lemon fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Mar 19, 2017 |

Like, I wasn't expecting to enjoy hearing his interviews with Iain Lee or Richard Bacon, but they were both awesome. Best episode by far is Mary Beard's.

His first appearance, where he tells that story, is definitely worth a listen. He's just been on it for a second time though and it was a pretty laugh-free zone. I agree with Lemon's list as an intro to RHLSTP.
