I'm not into hiphop at all but I've always liked Westwood and if nothing else his personality on the radio is always good for a laugh. He definately shouldn't be a goon hate figure.

I've never listened to Moyles, but I think the fact they gave him the nickname "Comedy Dave" because he's not loving funny is fantastic.

Leyburn posted:No one cares about his age and background except people who would never listen to him in the first place. When he's so clearly constructed a persona that clashes so drastically with his early life there's definitely something there to find funny, and has nothing to do with his contribution to the industry. That said, I'd never heard of the guy before I saw him do a pretty loving bad DJ set, so I can't really form an opinion beyond "he's old and talks funny". Could be Jesus for all I know.

SeanBeansShako posted:I don't really care either way, I'm waiting for Chris Moyles to be run over by a lorry instead with my pointless grudge with a Radio celebrity. One of the few compliments I can come with for Westwood is that at least he didn't invent Celebrity Tarzan, the worst game ever played on radio.

The Dave Gorman podcast is particularly good. They have to cut out the music, but the chat is always so good that it doesn't matter.

Ok so the evening shows are mostly music based but it has a ton of arts and culture documentaries and discussion that make it Radio 4 but without the middle-aged home counties stuffiness.

Buy an mp3 player, buy a shedload of audiobooks/subscribe to podcasts, roll your own radio. It's just the shame the Bugle has finished, really.

ChuckDHead posted:The Dave Gorman podcast is particularly good. They have to cut out the music, but the chat is always so good that it doesn't matter. Strongly seconded. And also on Absolute Radio is Frank Skinner's show (podcast cuts the music too, obviously) which is equally entertaining (put aside any preconceptions about Skinner being this 90's heyday THREE LIONS laddish comedian - I hated that schtick too and love the hell out of the show). Edit: Actually, going back and listening to either or both from the very start is really worthwhile - both have running "in" things that develop as they go on. I'd have gone mad ages ago on walks to and from work without them. franco fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Dec 27, 2011 |

On the other, I just watched Muppet Treasure Island the other week and am going to be comparing them constantly. I know they're different things, but that's probably not going to stop making me want to watch Tim Curry as Long John Silver. (Granted they managed to get another sweet transvestite in the role, but it's not quite the same...)

Rob Brydon was sorely missed on Big Fat Quiz. Jamie loving Oliver. Did however laugh at Walliam's jibe at Izzard regarding him being a fairweather transvestite. I guess the goatee does make things awkward.

I just turned onto BBC four and saw a B&W section about a girl whose profession was as a strip dancer, very weirdly narrated by BBC posh accent. This A to Z Night on Film is pretty awesome and I think justifies every single last penny of BBC four's budget. Edit: Found it on iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b018jl97/Night_on_Film_An_AZ_of_the_Dark/ 52 mins in. UnquietDream fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Dec 28, 2011 |

There's normally someone that's valid to complain about every year, but at least they're usually popular comedians or something. I can see no reason whatsoever for Jamie Oliver to be on there. He obviously didn't even want to be there. On another note, I can't decide whether a team deliberately entering non-nonsensical answers is, by now, really loving annoying or an integral part of the format. Either way, worst BFQOTY by far.

Also the little Britain's guy's shtick is so lovely. Do people really like that? Also Christmas has taught me that Alan Carr seems to think he is the only gay man in the world that also wears glasses! Genius!

Rarity posted:Catching up with Most Annoying People of 2011 on iPlayer. How long has Russell Kane been pretending to be Captain Jack Sparrow? Don't think I can face watching him start another routine with "you know, where I grew up, with my working class Dad *impression of working class Essex dad*, it wasn't like you, *middle class stereotype, something about Waitrose*" etc etc. It seems like he thinks that he's the only comic in the world who didn't go to Oxbridge, fearlessly bursting through the class struggle, but then sells out that viewpoint with a pretensious, quaffed stage character that tries too hard to come off as clever and doesn't actually do any punchlines.
