Personally I think its quite funny and as a long time fan of the crystal maze I think its fine to have some self depricating humour about the shows shonky wobblyness and bad prizes. Also yeah Ahnk Morepork is one of the most described fantasy citys out there and those shots don't really line up. Tbh I'd rather the show be good than slavish to the sorce material so we'll see how it end up I guess.

Why the gently caress did I watch Dracula even after reading people talk about it here. Jesus Christ. Also I tried to watch flea bag and I don’t get it at all. I’m blown away by all the awards and stuff. Not for me. Looking forward to Avenue 5 though. I’ll watch anything with Jared in it. Hopefully it’ll be funny.

You know how if someone has a bag of really dodgy sweets (bacon flavoured popcorn, chewy durian pastilles) and if they insist that no, actually, it's really very nice, everybody stays the gently caress away? But if you tell people "oh sweet jesus this is ghastly, you have to try how ghastly this is" people will bite their hand off to give it a go? I feel like Dracula is the same.

Good cast, if you can't tolerate Josh Gad this won't change anything though. It's on sky one on the 22nd of this month I feel like we've sorta abandoned the sky Atlantic gimmick in a lot of ways

I never had it (was always a Virgin Media guy when I was back home) but it always looked like it was a bit of a missed opportunity. 22nd isn't too long a wait at least, and it's not like it's been touted as anything 'must see' but it's a good cast/crew combo, especially if you like space comedy stuff.

I hated fleabag at first and only watched it to sneer at the actress’ impossibly posh name/accent, but ended up really liking the first season. It might grow on you if you can overlook or enjoy all the character’s problems being, you know, posh london person problems.

Saw that the guy in the shadow of the guy in the shadow of Morse was scheduled to perform at a venue I've been to in Brighton for evens, so figured I'd shoot them an email asking them to cancel, lest I then push the event organisers to go elsewhere. Will see what response I get and maybe urge others to write too. The annual events I've been to have been packed solid so hopefully call leverage things a bit.

This sounds like a really dickish thing to do. Why not go all out and send an angry letter to your local newspaper? You might even get your picture published if you sensationalise it enough. Better practice that Angry Daily Mail face!

It's no worries anyway, I've shot them a email letting them know what bullshittery BizzaroAzrael is up to. On another note, I was about to watch Dracula but now am very very glad to know it's shite and to skip it. (I'm not one to stare at car crashes)

The whole loving song is about how he needs people for his "resistance" which is against "leftists", and the literal neo nazi memes played on the TV while he sings about that are part of it. Do you guys work for print media or something?

I think he’s realised that whatever career opportunities were available to him just because he’s a lesser talented member of the Fox Family aren’t as well paid as an inevitable Daily Mail column.

So he's a whiny bitch, let him have his gig. We don't need some dubious moral quarantine where we aren't allowed to hear from unpleasant people. As a free person I don't appreciate people pre cancelling anything that might give me wrong idea. E: Hell having thought about it, yes he should be taken off - but as a result of wholesale rejection by his audience. Not because someone pulled strings on a 'for your own good' basis.
