Good Omens mainly feels like it was a product of Pratchett's to me frankly, especially as it's far funnier and better written any of the novels Gaiman released after he finished writing Sandman.

Terry did most of the stuff with Them, while Gaiman did more of the Crowley/Aziraphale bits.

I thought the point of BBC Worldwide was get money for distributing BBC owner content. What is the argument for any part of the BBC not producing content that license payers can access?

GOOD OMENS is unbearably twee at times and there was no reason that Sheen and Tennant couldn't just use their real accents.

Americans aren't great with Welsh/Scottish accents, I think Gaiman went for English voices because of that. After all, they changed the "Trafalgar Square" line to be a times square one.

Years and Years is very RTD, with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer you'd expect from his stuff. With that said, the cast is good and there are some great moments. The end of the first episode, for example is chilling.

So ITV have made a drama with Rob Lowe as the star. He plays an American cop who moves to Boston Lincs. Can the novelty of Rob Lowe overweight the stench of the typical ITV drama?

Jesus I finally ended up seeing an episode of Love Island, I know its nothing new to complain about reality TV but the amount of talking without anything being said, it feels like a fake show you'd see in a Black Mirror episode or something.

It's really something to think of how hard that show was rejected by the public during its first 2 series and now it's become a phenomenon somehow.

Taskmaster - it petered out a bit towards the end but the first half of the episode was great. Paul int he phone box looked like someone who had just been discovered after six months being hweld hostage.. Wild Bill. Rob Lowe just about carried it. It doesn't seem to know where it wants to be on the serious-comedy scale but it had it's moments. But the usual too frequently slap-dash plotting and set design are indefinable.

I've been re-watching Yonderland because I never managed to see the third season and because it's lots of fun. I'm going to say it's better than Ghosts just because it doesn't feel like it leans too much on the same joke even though it's got some catchphrases. It's a real shame it was wasted on Sky rather than being on another channel.

So Paul Sinha has Parkinson's disease, which might cast some of Taskmaster in a sadder light ☹️

Having grown up in the 90s I always wondered what happened to Tony Slattery, who seemed to be on everything then vanished in an instant. He was recently interviewed in the Guardian, and it's pretty horrible and sad: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/apr/29/tony-slattery-had-very-happy-time-went-slightly-barmy

I like how Matt Berry shows are basically like Quantum Leap, same dude just wakes up in a different body and era and just has to get on with it with his usual personality. E: also all the episodes are on the streaming platform if you don’t want to wait each week.

Well, since Matt Berry is a centuries-old vampire, it's conceivable he's been all those characters at different times as cover. (Being Rabbit and also Jack The Ripper is interesting) AMA about my Expanded Berryverse theories.

SeanBeansShako posted:How does Snuffbox fit into those theories? idk they're all still Matt, it's a while since I watched it. He's definitely both the past (Sir Charles) and present versions though (because vampire) e: From noted good internet place TVTropes: quote:Time Travel: Once an Episode, Rich goes through a door marked "1888", which takes him to Victorian London where he meets the club's founder and Matt's great-uncle, Sir Charles Berry, who gives him advice and showers him in prostitutes. Sir Charles is subtly intended to be Jack the Ripper. It all makes sense! sebzilla fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Jun 20, 2019 |
