Wait, Peter Mannion narrates Sarah and Duck? Mind blown.

Guy Secretan as the voice of Olobob top amuses me too.

Brian Blessed is Grandpa Rabbit

I don't know if you could possibly have missed that, but now you know

Grandpa Pig is David Graham aka loving Parker.

The real original Parker, who reprises his role in the itv Thunderbirds show which is actually pretty good.

I believe the old quip was that every English actor had been on The Bill and every Scottish actor had been on Taggart.

David Tennant somewhat infamously auditioned for Taggart before he was famous but couldn't get cast.

He did get on The Bill, though

Olobob Top is some terrifying poo poo - The Island Of Doctor Moreau for tots.

So many well known actors do voices for CBeebies stuff now, it's bizarre.

I just suddenly had the thought 'did Rowland Rivron die?' Wikipedia says he's still alive, but apparently has fallen off the face of the earth since 2014.

Poor Dirty Den. Literally every mention of him has to include either his murder conviction or getting his knob out on the internet.

His second death in Eastenders was pretty good though. Beaten to death by a ceramic dog.

Enjoyed both seasons of Flowers a lot even though it seems odd that it as ever broadcast as a sitcom. The whole thing feels like an indie movie which somebody cut into twenty minute segments.

Came here to post about Flowers, I just caught up with the first series and I'm hooked. I love the weirdness and tone changes, I haven't had that mix of laughter and introspection while watching something before and I'm really enjoying it.

The Netflix shows are amazing. He's been on Mock The Week a bunch, and stuff like HIGNFY and QI. I also have his book from Audible, again it's great.

Finding it hard to remain engaged with Taskmaster. This is undoubtedly the weakest panel to take part, but maybe I’m just finding it a bit samey now.

I do think the extended run is a mistake; it's too long with the same line-up.

McDragon
Sep 11, 2007

Yeah, it feels like there's more tasks that aren't great just to fill the extra time. There's still some excellent bits but some of it feels a bit lacking.

Anyway, Last Leg was mainly good yesterday although I do like Johnny Vegas a lot and also they smashed things which are two things that are basically cheating to make me like a talk show so we'll see.
