Mark Labbett off The Chase is now so fat that the fat has gone into his eyelids and you can hardly see his eyes and his neck and face is so fat that his speech sounds fat.

I was happy to see Michael Portillo's trains programme back on at teatime the past couple of nights. I don't know, it's relaxing.

In other TV news, Netflix optioned 2 more series of Lovesick after it performed well on streaming and it’s actually really good. Reminds me of Him & Her mixed with early series Coupling, with some real laughs. Do not know why they changed the name from Scrotal Recall though. Roast Battle was a bit awkward and I know what they’re trying to do with Russell Brand but it just seems to die a little with the staging and unnecessary ref? Phil Wangs diabetes joke was loving amazing though.

I haven't watched the Roast Battle yet but on Russell Brands radio show he talked about the filming a few months ago. By his own admission he was completely unaware of what it was going to entail and never properly engaged with it.

It is never a pretty sight to see a grown person unable to control their temper. You don't need that when you're having your tea Also I believe he married his cousin? Just doing his bit to help defeat unpleasant Welsh stereotypes, I shouldn't wonder :/ crispix fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Jan 17, 2018 |

when you google him it has this at the bottom: "Some results may have been removed under data protection law in Europe. Learn more". Isn't this normally because he's requested the google results to be censored? e: nvm, this appears when you search anyone's name. Slash fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Everyone I've known whose dealt with him has nothing but bad things to say. He's very egotistical and demeaning to staff and contestants. I know of one occasions when he threw a glass at a sound guy for whatever reason and another occasion where he was upset with the producers and just didn't shower for a couple of weeks in protest. He's also one of the main guys on the American version of the Chase.

There's some good jokes in there and the characters aren't exactly hateful, but their general elitism does wind me up a bit, especially the Angus character. It's also weird that it's obstensibly set in Glasgow but they have only had one person with a Scottish accent, as far as I can remember. Nowhere near as good as Him and Her though.

It is weird how vague it is about where it’s set. The Barras episode is the only real sense of place in the whole thing so far. Him & Her is perfect so it’s hard to live up to.

That in particular is very strange and yet I'm still not remotely surprised by it, he comes across like a oval office on national telly so no surprise he's worse irl

I was actually on The Chase a few years ago, and dude is absolutely a wankstain. Rude as gently caress, constantly barking demands at the staff and called me a oval office. Went for a couple of pints after with one of the production staff, and he said the other chasers are all lovely [although apparently Paul Sinha's timekeeping is atrocious] but they unanimously hate The Beast. At the back of the big C thingy the Chaser comes through is a little scaffolding platform with a chair, a wee table and a coolbox of food. Apparently when Labett's being a wank they like to move the stairs up to it and take the coolbox, so he's stuck up there and misses dinner. Savage as.

I've heard that all the Eggheads (or at least the "classic" Eggheads) aside from Kevin are hard to get along with as well. Don't know about the new ones they've brought in over the past few years.

It's no shock that Judith is awful, CJ has a universe-sized ego (and is possibly a murderer), and Chris is a train fanatic and you know what they're like. Surprised about Daphne though, she always seemed really nice on the show.

It's always Judith and CJ who have seemed a bit useless to me out of the "classic" team. They always seemed to be the ones who'd always end up knocked out before the final round.

I was on the Chase too last year, but I had Anne Hegarty who was absolutely delightful. Incidentally I'd assumed there was an audience from watching it on TV, but turns out that's all sound effects.

I'm watching "The Good Place" on Netflix and am enjoying it. It's the same creator as Parks and Rec, the guy who played Dwight's cousin in the American Office and it's about the afterlife. It's so far pretty interesting and they do a good job of ending every single episode on a cliffhanger. It might be the first time I've seen a comedy with a proper serial storyline.
