Well poo poo, me and a friend were joking he was some sort of deathless cyborg or secretly an android the other week. Guess we're both wrong now.

There can't be that many of the old music hall guys left now, can there?

You're talking people who were active performers in the late 40s/early 50s. That's not a lot of people. Did Bruce even do Music Hall? I sort of see him as the step after. Doddy? He might count.

I'd assumed he'd been in music hall and generally treading the boards for a while before he got his breakthrough on telly doing Sunday Night at the London Palladium, which was in 1958. (According to this RT article I was reading earlier, his first appearance on television was on a talent show in 1939 at the age of 11, when BBC 1 was itself three years old.)

Christ, do not look at the photo of Ken Dodd on Wikipedia (I mean, you know, do. Because it's horrifying). It's from 10 years ago and he looks like a corpse then.

Has anyone seen the BBC adaptation of the Scarlet Pimpernel (starring Richard E. Grant as Sir Percy) from around 2000? How is it compared to something like ITV's Hornblower?

Ken Dodd is alive? Always mix him up with the guy who died on stage.

Radio: listen to Iain Lee. And all the back catalogue. Calls straight-to-air is the funniest thing when people have a good gimmick. Edit: here you go try these. They got better as the series went on and people realised what works and what didn't. By the end it was almost like an audio collage https://iainleepodcasts.co.uk/triple-m/ thehustler fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Aug 20, 2017 |

Any time I hear Matt Berry doing a commercial I instantly lose my ability to take whatever is being advertised seriously.

I was going to give the new Doctor a try, but gently caress Bradley Walsh. Second rate Butlins Redcoat.

I don't think this is even confirmed yet, is it? Could well be a bit of a swizz. I mean, remember when Kris Marshall was definitely going to be the new Doctor a few months ago?

Bradley Walsh is quite literally the bargain basement version of Shane Ritchie. And Shane Ritchie can get hosed into the sun.

New Bake Off on C4 in an hour, and initial reviews have been really good. Maybe Channel 4 didn't gently caress up the only good thing about Britain after all.

I may start watching Dr Who again for the first time in about 8 years if the Bradley Walsh news is true.

I hope with this new THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN talk the BBC put out a HD version of the show. Also I forgot in the grand cast of characters how loathsome Pauline is. DrVenkman fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Aug 24, 2017 |

iPlayer status: still poo poo In particular the option to rewatch a program from the beginning, working on my phone, but when chromecasting, instead switches to a random part of the Tattoo show. Plus the feature doesn't work on either PS3 or PS4, and finally I had to login to get it to work at all from my PC. Meaning now the picture quality is terrible.
