Hahahaha some millionaire cock on Channel 4 is getting their eyesore house demolished because they didn't get planning permission. Now some old lady is saying Britain is turning into Nazi Germany because the Nazis would also destroy houses.

Flatscan posted:Nope. Originally iPlayer was meant to be a huge, glorious archive of everything the BBC owned. Then Rupert Murdoch raised a shitstorm about it being anti-competitive and the BBC were forced to scale it back to what we have now. BBC Worldwide can get away with giving some stuff away because they aren't regulated by OFCOM. Yes. Look at this article from 2008- http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/apr/25/digitalmedia.television quote:A BBC Trust spokeswoman said: "The BBC Trust subjected the BBC iPlayer to a rigorous public value test that included a market impact assessment carried out by Ofcom. They intentionally made iPlayer less good than it could have been so it wouldn't hurt for-profit video on demand services too much.

Big Brother used to be annoying when you wanted to watch some tv and all the other channels were too scared to put anything half decent against Big Brother, but that's not really a problem in this age of iPlayer and 4od.

SeanBeansShako posted:To be fair for it, a majority of us thought the new Doctor Who was going to turn out to be an embarassing flop. The new Doctor Who was a completely new cast and crew and writers though, a fresh start and a new style, yet still acknowledging the original. Not the old actors and writers embarrassing themselves by trying to do the old act they should have put to bed twenty years ago.

Yeah all the 'that was loving badass hoo rah' posts were pretty disturbing.

SeanBeansShako posted:Speaking of Dr Who holy gently caress this website is incredibly insane and creepy. It's not real. And Steven Moffat has denied this has anything to do with Sherlock. I'm inclined to believe him since they can't make series 3 of Sherlock anytime soon since both it's stars are busy with the Hobbit. Private Eye suggests that the reason for the shortened series is that Doctor Who is financially in a terrible state.

Wormophile posted:Ahh booo. If it's true though I'd be pleased - Sherlock > Dr Who. Dr Who tits me off a bit because the beeb spends a big chunk of budget on a sprawling scifi series with loads of scope and it's charming and all but it's never going to be quite satisfying enough because it's a bloody kid's show (apologies to any autists/whofans) It's a show for the whole family, not just kids! And what, you weren't satisfied with Outcasts? But seriously Doctor Who (along with Top Gear) is one of the BBC's most profitable shows what with foreign sales and merchandising so its budget doesn't really take away from other shows. I'll bet it makes more than its budget back for them. Its still dealing with budget cuts though along with the rest of the beeb so it's not surprising that its finances seem to be hosed enough that they can't afford a full next series.

Wormophile posted:Yes! I was excited about Outcasts and thought might shape up to be a pretty good show in later series, but it got cancelled. And I understand Dr Who! I like Dr Who! It's just it's the only british sci fi show with a decentish budget at the moment and it's so lame a lot of the time. Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm honestly not sure how telly works) but isn't it very hard getting that sort of series commissioned in this country because they are very expensive and risky? And with Dr Who already ticking the scifi box for the BBC wouldn't they be less likely to commission any ambitious new series? Not rejoicing in slashed budgets, poor old telly I was joking about Outcasts, I thought it was a terrible disappointment. Well even Doctor Who with all the piles of money it makes the BBC has had big budget cuts, so sadly I can't see them giving the green light to more expensive sci fi. I'd also love to see a new good British sci fi series. Oh well. Ddraig posted:I think what pissed me off most about the new Doctor Who is one storyline where the Master literally has the Doctor over a barrel and is about ready to gently caress him in the rear end - his plan worked absolutely loving flawlessly and the writers pulled a deus ex machina so deep from within their rear end that it had phlegm on it, and had the Doctor saved by the power of prayer. Russel T Davies (the former showrunner who wrote that awful, awful episode) is no longer running the show or writing for it so you might want to check out some of the Matt Smith ones (series 5 and onwards). With Steven 'Sherlock' Moffat as head writer the writing is a lot more consistently good.

goatface posted:The Doctor gains and loses abilities so often that he might as well be 1970's Superman. The "science" is just a setting. Well if having realistic science is a requirement for sci fi I can't think of anything that would qualify. Certainly not any tv series or movies.

Taear posted:It's not really realistic, it's more that they attempt to explain it. It's not just magic with another name. I don't know, I'd say they are on about the same level of unrealism, and the technobabble they spout in Star Trek is worse than no explanation at all. Everything relies on magic crystals or whatever. I do know what you guys are getting at though, I just think making a distinction between science fantasy and science fiction is silly. Robots and spaceships and lasers are robots and spaceships and lasers whether they have technical manuals available or not.
