Julio Cruz posted:Myleene Klass was on Celebrity Mastermind once. She picked Sex and the City (TV series only IIRC) as her specialist subject and got something ridiculous like 15, then lost anyway because her general knowledge was atrocious. Years ago I watched a World Mastermind Final type thing - the winners of the UK, Australian, Canadian, whatever versions. The guy who won it chose The Lord of the Rings as his subject - OK, lots of names etc but pretty manageable. One of the other contestants chose Agriculture. Just Agriculture - all of it, everywhere, ever.

The_Doctor posted:I saw a trailer on the BBC earlier for The City & The City, an adaptation of China Miéville's novel. starring David Morrissey. Interestingly enough, I was literally thinking about that book this morning, pondering how unfilmable it'd be, unaware of this adaptation coming. Guess I was wrong! I was telling someone at work about this today. I can't think how they'd film it, unless they're willing to really go all in on the effects. I see it's being filmed in Liverpool and Manchester - I hope they're using one for each City.

The_Doctor posted:Huh, i pictured somewhere far more eastern bloc for it all when I read it. It specifically locates itself in a fictional country in Eastern Europe that sounds a bit like Istanbul - a place with a merger of east and west. I have absolutely no idea how they'd film it either though. Especially considering how it ends. I've lost faith in book adaptions though - there's plenty of decent programmes made from books recently (like Annihilation) but they're really rarely anything at all like the book.

So, I watched this program 'Not Going Out' for the first time tonight, season 9, and I didn't really get it to be honest probably because it's in it's decline now. What series of Not Going Out is the best one to jump in at?

DJ Beats as a father to be is great. ‘I didn’t realise it’d have arms at this point.’

I didn't think a show could be do incredibly sad but at the same time so goddamn funny. I said on Twitter that I was really able to empathize with Kerry because I had a bad Birthday a few years back and it sucks.

This series has definitely made them a bit more likeable. Kurtan and the vicar's son, and the stuff he did this episode, was rather sweet no dancing in the streets coz the hated teacher is dead. I liked the ghost walker.

That teacher was an arsehole though. You've always got one who's really just nasty and bitter at that level. It's mean yeah but well, the guy in real life is still alive.

crispix posted:David Platt got raped. Bum raped I dunno if you need the spoilers because I don’t think there are many people who watch the show ITT. If they handle it sensitively I think it breaks a taboo. I remember Hollyoaks doing the same story years ago and it did start conversations. As a dumb teenager, it didn’t even occur to me that it happened to men. I believe Hollyoaks did a follow up recently where it showed that the character was still traumatised and the attack was still causing issues.

If you guys aren't watching Swedish Taskmaster while you wait for the real Taskmaster to come back you're missing out. Couple of the guests appear to have walked straight off the stage of Channel 9 but it did demonstrate that we've lost out by never having seen little Alex Horne wearing a mankini.

There’s a trailer for the US version of Taskmaster too (sorry am on phone and don’t have link to hand). It still looks like it’s going to be a 30min timeslot affair which will hurt it. The tasks look like they’re mostly adapted from the UK one, and they’re pushing the silliness angle mainly because the US still doesn’t really get the concept of panel shows. Juries still out, I’ll give it a shot mostly based on Ron Funches. Airs next month.

After seeing the American version of Impractical Jokers I don't think I can handle the idea of them doing a Taskmaster. They're so over the top, like the idea isn't to be funny but to "put on a show".

I didn’t even realize there was a non-US impractical jokers. That show is pretty big here, they’re touring a live show at the moment. Can’t say it does much for me personally.
