The Sky Sports ad sketch is great too.

The Challenger (BBC2) was really good. A fairly standard biopic/docudrama construction but very well made and with a great performance from William Hurt as Feynman.

Leon with a Zero posted:Wogan's looking well. Wish he was still doing eurovision. Mum? When did Masterchef become all American. I happened to catch a bit of it earlier. Time was when people in this country saw their families blown apart in their homes and they just got on with things. Now it seems that having an emotional breakdown seems to be an acceptable response to a chef criticising your beef wellington. What a load of tosh.

It's not enough to have people cooking, it has to be cooking that *doesn't get any harder than this*. If you want a version without all of that, watch Masterchef Australia. Not only is their format better (the UK show has copied it more and more in the last 2 years) but the whole competition is way more positive and friendly. People actually giving people encouragement and presenters that seem to get on better with the contestants.

HauntedRobot posted:People actually giving people encouragement and presenters that seem to get on better with the contestants. I'd like to see more of this. The whole "constant jeopardy" format has spread from competitions on to documentaries that follow people doing fairly routine tasks which they're very good at. ("DISASTER STRIKES as the head chef of the restaurant notices the pan he usually uses for pasta is IN THE WASH. But he's got an order for two bologneses for table 6! What's he going to do? Find out after the break!" "Oh, he's got another pan from the other cupboard. Panic over everyone.") I much preferred the comic relief Great British Bake-off cos everyone was being light-hearted and wasn't really upset about losing as opposed to the normal contestants who are constantly crying cos of all the pressure. Somebody here suggested not knocking anyone out, having a star baker every week and then declaring a winner at the end. I'd much prefer that - there's better ways of getting an adrenaline fix than an artificially pressurised baking programme. Jonnty fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Mar 23, 2013 |

People actually giving people encouragement and presenters that seem to get on better with the contestants. Awwwww, my current nasty vice mentioned at last! Don't watch TV much, but one thing that has kept me sane during work is watching Masterchef. Now I was the same and never seen it for years, last time must have been in the Lloyd Grossman era, but I clicked on last years Masterchef Australia and was hooked. Both of them are fake tension and such, more so in the UK version, but its like a soap opera without the cliche 4 story lines repeating themselves over and over. Masterchef Australia is very MTV though, too touchy feely and lingering vacant stares, but the bulldog Aussie cook presenter is excellent to watch. He takes no poo poo, and looks/talks like an aussie gangster. On Masterchef UK though, the two presenters are MASSIVE pricks, but its fun trying to spot the 'dog whistle' comments from them before the end of the show when they kick off a contestant. Or trying to guess which contestant from the 'interview to the camera' time bits will get the kick, the more air time and more emotional it is, its bye-bye time. "This is my only one true life dream, I will literally kill my family and kids if I don't win".......110% out the door 5 mins later. If you want blatent fake tension try watching Best British Menu that is currently on. One show a day for the full week, currently on iplayer. Not sure if its up or not still, but one ending had the 'on tomorrows' bit showing one of the chef's over cooking some souffle or custard and they cut it into such a OMG music crashing cliffhanger. Next episode, chef over cooks souffle/custard, says "No worries, have plenty of time to make another, only takes 5 mins".

That's what I can't stand. The crying. Grown people breaking down on Masterchef because somebody didn't like their roast potatoes. It's just way too much on a cooking programme. Something similar happened with The Apprentice. I loved the first series. One of the best things the BBC produced for years back then. The focus of the show was on the tasks, and the boardroom at the end lasted just a few minutes. The candidates were actually credible business people who got on really well with each other and did their best to win the tasks. Brilliant telly. Second series? They chose as candidates a bunch of really stupid people with massive egos. The focus of the show was entirely on the bitching and fighting and monumental fuckups and emotional meltdowns. The show became a parody of what it had been. But why did I type all those words? We all know how it happens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ss-59fi4nM

So I just saw the first episode of In the Flesh. Overall, I thought it was actually pretty good. A whole lot happened in just an hour of TV, and it moved at a pretty good pace, too. Standard British flaw of not being able to write angsty/troubled characters without seeming a bit forced though - the daughter was incredibly annoying in her portrayal. I don't understand something that seems pretty huge, though; So at the end of the first episode, an old woman is killed for being a zombie. My question is; why not call the police, then and there. If zombies are treated as humans in this world (and for all we've seen, they totally should be), the HVF guy just murdered an old woman in cold blood. The first thing the family should do is call the police, and on top of that, call the press so a spotlight is shined on that town. I hope this is explained - though honestly, I can see them sort of shirking a satisfactory explanation with something along the lines of "the police in the town are zombie racists too". I hope not, because I quite enjoyed the first episode.

Cristobal Tapia de Veer, who composed the soundtrack for Utopia, has made a Youtube playlist of Utopia videos. It's mostly bits of the soundtrack, which is good, but it also contains possibly the most adorable thing ever. e: are all the personalised videos for TV critics or something?

I'd much prefer that - there's better ways of getting an adrenaline fix than an artificially pressurised baking programme. On bakeoff, the difficulty of the bakes actually genuinely increases through the each season. The first episode is basically "bake your favourite pie" and the last is "make a multi-layer chiffon sponge edible artwork". My wife and I were watching Masterchef UK last night on iPlayer and it was painful, it felt like a catalogue of the many gurns of Greg Wallace, like the artificial jeopardy was somehow on a ratchet attached to his facial muscles.

I've seen ads for two different shows in which Olivia Colman (Sophie off Peepshow) was doing a "devastated face" and walking towards the camera. One of them was shown a lot. I guess that's her specialty. Voice of McVities chocolate digestives too! It's starting to feel like every consumer item I can think of has had an ad voiced by a Peepshow actor.

Has anybody else seen the trailer for Warwick Davis and the Seven Dwarves of Auschwitz? I can hardly believe what I just typed. But apparently this is a real show. In the trailer he's doing a "solemn, but sexy!" voice as he reads quality lines like "what happened here was beyond the imagining of the darkest fairytale". Honestly if I'd seen the video out of context I'd have assumed it was a spoof ridiculous documentary/holocaust joke from Life's Too Short. I can't seem to find the video anywhere. I almost pissed myself laughing the first time I saw it. sex pervert fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Mar 23, 2013 |

Pablo Bluth posted:I can't remember the product, but recently there was an advert voiced by 'Mark', and every time I heard it, I couldn't help but think of his inner-monologue against Couscous. I'm sure that's not the effect they were after. Yeah, he was doing one for breakfast biscuits the other day. I was listening to Mark talking positively about breakfast biscuits and starting his day. That can only come across as sarcastic. I mean how he's getting voice work for adverts like that is beyond me, given that he's known only for whingeing about everything and being a bit of a poo poo, both in and out of character. edit: still not as bad as Robert Webb talking about cuddly Koala enjoying lovely soft Cushelle toilet tissue. That was creepy as gently caress, given Jeremy's penchant for having his arsehole stimulated. sex pervert fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Mar 23, 2013 |
