Holby City is cancelled, so they're saying "gently caress it" and bringing back dead characters now

Also Jac Naylor has a brain tumour so she'll die in the final episode and it'll turn out to have all been a baby Jac's med student dream

I stopped watching after the cancellation was announced, I just knew the writers were going to say "gently caress everything" and start doing stupid poo poo like that.

Although if they're bringing back lost characters I wouldn't mind Chantelle coming back

The first series of this really surprised me, watched it on a whim and absolutely loved it, so happy it got a second series. Wife and I will be binging it tonight!

I don't much care for the attitude of filthy money-lenders

I'm gonna watch it. There was a pilot in the lockdown with Stacey Solomon taking then entire contents of your home to a warehouse, and laying it out. You were allowed to take 25% of it back with you. Stacey was trying to explain to a mother that she didn't need to keep every single scribble on printer paper her kids were creating, nor the first scone they baked in school, wrapped like a white turd in clingfilm.


There's a similar one on Channel 4 currently. They were amazed at how much the young teens were spending on branded tracksuits and trainers, so they made them buy some new ones from boohoo (or somewhere like that) for cheaper. Despite shelling out a couple hundred on these new trackies and trainers that they didn't need, the show told us the family had now saved thousands of pounds. Amazing maths.

I'm never gonna watch it. What happened explosion, mad gunman?

If the BBC wasn't a tory propaganda machine, I'd have loved to see them have the stones to end it with the hospital shutting down due to excessive budget cuts and/or a mass exodus of staff due to low, untenable pay.

And I'm sure Vigil will end showing that the police, military and spies are all corruptly colluding continuously in a broken system Actually it does look like they're partially going that way but I'm fully expecting a swerve and the real baddy is Swampie/Jermy Crobun

Casualty is still going, so they can't shut the whole hospital down.

Watched the first ep of Married and oof, after s5 where there seemed an earnest attempt at making a show where they tried to match people legitimately… the whole Nikita/Ant feels like a really mean joke on him? Like they felt they had to have something that was obviously going to be a mess to get the ratings. Hell, they didn’t even give an example of what she would bring to the relationship when talking about the match, just all about how good he would be for her.

The whole ‘shock! There’s a guy going to the hen party’ thing was cheap as poo poo too, and maybe don’t advertise so strongly it’s taken you 6 seasons to consider a non hetero relationship?

I’ll keep watching though, for a bit anyway. I’m obviously concerned for the first couple having seen the one dudes name brought up in here a few times (and I saw Nikita’s name in the headlines, so I’m sure there’s a ton of drama coming up).

The format has been shifted to match the Australian version which was E4's big lockdown success, so there's all kinds of dinner parties and commitment ceremonies and situations where the relationship experts can pretend to be shocked that emotions flare even though that's exactly what's supposed to happen.

Yeah I heard the Aussie version was wild (and meant to give it a go last year when hearing about it) so it's no surprise. They should've used it as an excuse to do two versions of the show, one the same as before and fairly earnest and a 'dumb rear end in a top hat edition' for the wild poo poo

Know what I reckon about The Cube? If you took out the dramatic music and replaced the echoey voice with a normal bloke's voice, nobody would watch it

it'd just be people arsing about, then :/

The cube is just the crystal maze with all the fun taken out. Go in a room and do some sort of bollocks with red balls. We have one of those slow motion camera setups like they used in the matrix to make it look impresive or exciting when the ball does or doesn't go where its meant to.

It's tedious to watch the recorded version, imagine what it's like to be in the audience while they set up each puzzle each time.

Definitely a casualty of the "tenured team captain on extremely long-running panel show starts phoning it in" disease.

If nothing else, the fact that his team only won one of the last 17 seasons is demonstrative of something.

Pretty sure HIGNFY has been going longer than Buzzcocks did.

Alan Davies is getting up there for QI these days I suppose.
