This is a silly post with little news value.

I was never a huge fan of Little Britain but I'm still thrilled about them doing a Little Brexit special, because more Tom is always a good thing :allears:

I randomly got tickets for the recording yesterday
sadly, but unsurprisingly, Baker’s narrations were pre-recorded so didn’t get to see him there

Little Britain was appallingly hateful, and Matt Lucas has an awful lot of karma to work off from that shitshow (I don't really give a gently caress about David Walliams)
I tried to watch, but once the Only Gay in the Village sketch repeated itself like a bad Mad TV recurring sketch, I noped out pretty quick.

I've always found it interesting how I could watch The Fast Show essentially do the same skits every single week for years and constantly find it hilarious, but when Little Britain did the same I couldn't last more than a week before being bored and thinking,"They already did this." Something about the execution I guess.

Edit: Also here's perhaps my favorite ever Fast Show skit just because:

Yeah, he's starting to look a little gaunt.

Forgot about Come Fly With Me, holy poo poo that was awfuk. It's frustrating cause I really love Matt Lucas in anything he does that isn't his own bottom of the barrel trash. He was George Dawes, for god's sake

Let's hope it's on purpose, and not that "I'm getting gaunt and looking sickly as death approaches."

Though we all know if Death arrived, Tom would get him so drunk under the table that he'd forget why he came in the first place and they'd end up meeting weekly at the pub as buddies.

I discovered this by random, as I'm a big ERB fan and while a lot of these are INCREDIBLY derivative of ERB (beats included), and amateurish as hell, I do appreciate the fact he tried and it shows he cares. Some of the burns are pretty good, too.

It was about a dissertation held by a university about Dracula and adapting it to film, written by a then 21 year old Peter Capaldi.

Maybe it was the wrong Peter Capaldi?

The post which is now deleted included a picture of an (undergraduate?) dissertation from the 1970s or 80s about vampires in film by a then student at the Glasgow School of Art, Peter Capaldi. Not sure why it was deleted - maybe he just didn't want the attention on the tweet, or maybe it was inaccurate in some way.

Well, of course I know him.

Capaldi did go on to be in one of the greatest vampire-snake-lady movies ever made, though.

Between this and the trailer with adult Ace for that bluray I'm seriously beginning to suspect that she's going to be in the next season or Christmas special.

The War Games is something I watched recently!

The way it slowly builds up the tension over ten episodes, bigger and bigger bosses, and then Philip Madoc walks in with Klaxons going off as his leitmotif...that's the jam. Also Time Lords getting invoked one episode before the Doctor name drops them is something I only just noticed.

The War Games still kicks rear end. Except for Arturo Villar. His actor seems to think Mexicans sound like Americans pretending to be Italians.
