Though you would have thought poor sweet Jody would have realised something was up when he got to the country house and realised everyone was named after characters in Cluedo. I get the feeling he has to pick people who are a bit... "simple" for the things to work. People who are susceptible to suggestions, etc. For example, during all of what happened in the house, my first and primary instinct wouldn't be that I'm losing my mind but rather that people were loving with me. Like, when he found the pearls in his room, I'd be thinking it was that guy at the dinner table who put them there, the one who proclaimed that I was playing with them the night before when I knew I wasn't. edit: That being said though, I seem to have lost track of an entire day this week. I thought it was Thursday night tonight and can't remember the day I missed. :/ Kin fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Nov 5, 2011 |

Enjoyable nonsense from Derren Brown tonight. I'll say one thing: he certainly has a type, going by these last few shows, doesn't he?

They're all so very pretty, bless their impressionable little hearts. (Mind you, if I was a morally ambiguous, sexy-voiced hypnotist who been given a couple hundred thousand from Channel 4 to film unethical experiments I would probably pick all the dim, hot boys to be my puppets too.)

I've been in love with BBC4 since I caught Micro Men and am thrilled to see that somebody on YouTube agrees with me the Clive Sinclair/Alexander Armstrong raging was worth the licence fee.

Yeah, that was an excellent program. Seemed pretty well researched too and my dad, who's an electronic engineer, really enjoyed it - especially the bit where the demo suddenly fails, which he really identified with, haha.

It's also the sort of drama that is likely to disappear from the channel due to the cost cutting.

Just watched the latest Derren Brown - very gripping, but I'd prefer to imagine the guy was an actor to be honest, given what he's supposed to have gone through. And what the gently caress was up with the end? Also did anyone else find the guy really reminded them of a younger, thinner and nicer version of Ricky Gervais?

Quick question: do channels like Sky Living get to ignore the watershed or something? I was watching a pre-watershed episode of CSI earlier this week and it was pretty gory for lunch-time TV (it's the episode Quentin Tarantino directed, rated 15 on DVD). Were they allowed to show it unedited, or did somebody screw up?

They edit language or sexual references sometimes but then you'll see someone with a shard of glass shoved in their eye walking around or whatever at lunchtime.

I'm quite late on this but has anyone worked out exactly what the scene was near the end of Top Boy where there were two shadowy figures (I think one is the mother). Is it Ushain (?) and the mother embracing I wasn't really sure.

loving digital freeview C4 in my area is buggered. The signal keeps cutting out on all C4 related channels (4, film 4, E4, etc) and it's only the C4 stuff that does this. Retuning doesn't do anything and the aerial picks up every other channel fine. :/

I had the same problem, only fixed itself when I returned it to factory settings and then retuned the box, retuning it beforehand did fix anything.

The digital freeview thing I've got is built into the TV so it's not the easiest thing to get replaced (and might be overkill). :/ Hopefully I'll get a better reception when I move.

It explains how he knew that she was in hospital, as well as there was more to Dushane keeping Ra'Nell out of the gang. It wasn't just Drug-Dealer-With-A-Heart-Of-Gold. Did quite enjoy the series though, has the same inevitability of crime feeling that the wire does, whilst not just being a carbon copy.

Saw it at the Fringe, it was okay. The main problem is he puts a lot of work out for free, so if you read his blog and / or listen to at least one of his podcasts you'll know something like 75% of the routines in the show already, in one form or another.

Yeah I've started using the iPlayer Desktop even to watch standard definition stuff uninterrupted when previously I had no problem watching HD things on the iPlayer site. Mind you my internet connection in general (Virgin) seems to be shitter these days so it could be that.

Why do people have to keep loving about with things that work? Why can't they just leave well alone? The bit of the iPlayer redesign that's really annoyed me is that they've got rid of the "big but not full screen" window size. Whose clever idea was that?
