In some way I want it to be for what most would consider an overreaction but a small amount of people reasonable, like buying own brand butter instead of lurpack

She's done Taskmaster while it's at its peak and has gone on a nationwide tour, has a podcast and written a sitcom He did Taskmaster right at the start and has his own program on Dave. He's also admitted to being really insecure.

S2 of Blue Lights starts tonight. Not usually a fan of police shows, but really enjoyed the first series.

He wasn't charismatic enough to go full McIntyre, and panel shows have become tired.

I still enjoy WILTY whenever I catch it but that relies on having good new guests. David and Lee drag it down a lot now though since they've told every story conceivable at this point and mostly just make the same jokes back and forth at each other. But yeah the format feels like it's on its last legs now.

It's designed for you to only tune in when there's a guest contestant you're interested in. Otherwise, yeah, you will hear a lot of the same jokes. sebzilla posted:Hopefully it lasts long enough to pull off 25 seasons and a champion of champions of champions finale and then that's it. TM is now a hugely successful international format. 25 is a conservative estimate unless something really unexpected happens.

Panel shows have been boring since that management company got things all tied up and the same 10–15 comedians appear on them all in rotation.

Do you not want Tom Allen to appear on every show you like? That's a crying shame because whatever you're watching, at some point you're getting Tom Allen.

There's also a secret second layer of comedian panel/quiz shows that go out on Comedy Central, Dave and Sky Max that no-one watches or talks about.

There seemed to be a weird thing ages ago on Comedy Central / Dave / etc. that whatever show Jimmy Carr appeared on, Katherine Ryan had to as well. That was great.

They should do more stuff like the Joe Lycett late night chat show. TV comedy needs more anarchy.

I really liked Jon until he did that anti corbyn rant on HIGNFY, now I think he's a massive massive prick.

I don't think I've ever met anyone who actually enjoys him. He must be related to someone in TV, or he has dirt on someone.

There are various people on TV shows who, when one of them is on, we're wary about watching. Two of them an episode-skipper. Tom Allen is on that list for us. Also a few others. But since this is all subjective there's no point asking for yours.

She was in the vanguard of panel shows booking female comedians but didn't have the ability to quip and came across really bitter. Criticism of her became incredibly toxic. I get that she's "alternative", but she was putting herself in the mainstream and couldn't cope with it. See also Rosie Jones now. I'm sure she's a great writer and fantastic person but very divisive and breaks the chummy chat rule that panel shows live or die on.

It's Netflix but has anyone watched The Gentlemen series? Great slice of Guy Ritchie and better than the film (which I also enjoyed). Also made me realise Theo James is British as I only knew him from The White Lotus.

Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings are all amazing in it and I'm finding it a lot easier to follow and engage with than the film.
