Annabel Pee posted:I always liked him, in my head as a kid he already looked like an old man like twenty years ago so I'm surprised he was so young. I feel like he was ahead of his time, being a gay drag queen but also being allowed to present mainstream talk shows for so long. I went to see Stewart Lee Basic Lee just shorty after he passed. Stewart Lee gave a good antidote about Paul O'Grady. In the early 90s one of his gigs in London was raided by a bunch of police officers who were all wearing plastic gloves (due to the AIDS scare), and Paul O'Grady was like "look boys, the police are here to help us with the washing up".

Been watching Adam & Joe from 4oD recently, good tea-time viewing. I didn't see it first time round, so I'm not nostalgic for the show exactly. But it does make me nostalgic for that type of show, bursting at the seams with hand-crafted goodness. Where has this kind of show gone? Well, the answer might be youtube, and Eggs TV might be exhibit A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE6e2Ia7pfE (features a cameo by Stewart Lee so it's on topic)

I love Adam & Joe. I actually never was particularly into the A&H Show, I got into them when they were on XFM and then particularly during their stint on 6 Music, but their good vibes radio style basically set my gold standard for how I wish audio content would be. Adam's podcast is good although I'm super out of date with it.

Adam's podcast is good although I'm super out of date with it. The BBC radio shows were fantastic. It seems like that was a time when a lot of comedy was very "edgy" and it was the total opposite. They somehow managed to be lighthearted and funny without veering into wacky. Mickolution fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Apr 8, 2023 |

Oh my friend also went to that show last night. She showed me a picture of a signed copy of the book which he'd signed 'Garth Marenghi' and underneath 'Dreamweaver' Apparently he stayed in character for the whole, long queue

Fatty posted:Dragons Den, did all five of them just invest in Care Bears? Peter Jones has really mellowed out over the years - in the early series he used to berate people if they didn't dress smart enough. Overall though the show has become pretty dull. If it wasn't for Touker being such a comically massive piece of poo poo I probably wouldn't watch it

I saw this a few weeks ago too, on Valentine's Day which was fitting given the romantic subject matter. Good show and I'm enjoying the book too, once it gets past the typewriter stuff that he read out in the show.

This is without a doubt the funniest thing that A&J did (and I was a huge fan of both A&J and The Crystal Maze) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8McKX8t1BA

happyhippy posted:Jammy bastard. Nope, just a one man show. Two 45 minute sets with a fifteen minute interval. He must be absolutely cleaning up, the tour is massive and he's selling out everywhere. You'd imagine if he wanted to do another TV show then Channel 4 (or Netflix) would throw loads of money at him.

ITV's new Christie adaptation (written and directed by Hugh Laurie?) Why Didn't They Ask Evans features the song Midnight, the Stars, and You pretty prominently in the 2 episodes I've watched. I know that song from the end of The Shining, which made me look at the overflowing blood in the credits differently. I'm watching for the shot where Jack is shot from below as he tries to open a door. Other than that, it's an acceptable contribution, but for each artsy shot there's 9 very workmanlike ones.

I thought that sounded familiar, it was released in Britbox about a year ago. I guess they had a 12 month exclusivity.

EL BROMANCE posted:I thought that sounded familiar, it was released in Britbox about a year ago. I guess they had a 12 month exclusivity. Couple of things off Britbox just hit terrestrial TV, the other one is Magpie Murders based on the book of the same name by Anthony Horowitz. A very loving homage to 1950s Christie-style detective novels starring Lesley Manville in very nice outfits. Got a fun puzzlebox plot, shifting between Lesley trying to solve a murder and find a the last chapter of an unfinished novel, and the murder plot within said missing novel. The same actors play characters in both the modern age and the 1950s book, it's pretty charming, in a lightweight sort of way.

It's not a light watch but the Beeb have a Stacey Dooley doc out following some Ukrainian being trained in the UK. Everyone should watch it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001kz0p/stacey-dooley-ready-for-war

Magpie Murders was pretty good, second that recommendation. Awful CGI near the end made me and the wife actually laugh out loud, but other than that, yeah - enjoyed it.

The final shot of ...Evans had someone opening an umbrella as SFX of a thunderstorm breaking played over what persistently remained a glorious summer's day. You couldn't get a rain machine? Or a garden hose?

I thought I'd check out Magpie Moiders and loaded up ITV X only to find it was restricted to Premium. Foiled I went to Iplayer to watch Masterchef instead, only to see MM for free over there. What a world, what a world...

Touker has strong musk vibes (or a Musk musk), a rich successful dude who is desperate for social validation, but everyone thinks is just a weird dickhead.

Yeah I always enjoy thinking back about how the critics at the time considered it out of date, but that true wave of hipsterdom hadn’t really spread to the rest of the country so it felt before it’s time. I can’t think about the scene with the cat and the scissors without laughing.
