The Perfect Element posted:So, would you guys recommend that I watch it, or just wait til its on again next week? It really did veer wildly from very funny to almost painful. Watch it for David Mitchell / Charlie Brooker's rants, the ensemble bits around the table and some of Jimmy Carr's stuff too. Turn it off or mute it or suffer through the excruciating news channel parody / holiday in Tunisia sketches (although the latter wasn't as bad as the former). As other people here are rightly saying, it's only the first show so it will probably take a few episodes for them to get the formula just right and relax into their roles.

Green screen and over use cgi use is a big no no. Fixed. I really hope they go back to the hand made clunky robot skutters.

The point about the bar scene is that it's funny the first time you watch it because it's unexpected. It's also quite funny the second time because you're anticipating it. It's not funny the fiftieth time and constantly repeating, and re-repeating it out of context, and actually analyzing the scene and the performances, ruins an otherwise perfectly good piece of comedy slapstick. The worst thing you can do to a joke is repeat it and dissect it. Gram-O-Phone fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Feb 7, 2011 |

I'm terrible at quiz shows and rarely get a question right, but it honestly feels so loving tense when the chaser just BARELY catches them in the final chase that I can't help but enjoy it. Yesterdays was the closest I've seen so far - less than a second to go before he caught them! I admit I was on the edge of my seat for that one. e: I hope Anne's voice holds up during the final chase

dog days are over posted:I'm turning into a gameshow fan or something, started watching the Million Pound Drop tonight and quite enjoyed playing along, even if some of the questions were just viciously difficult. A question about someone's twitter update on the day of the show? Really? I always play along online. I even post an update on my Facebook wall, but nobody ever plays with me.  . Anyone would think they had something better to do on a Friday night.Some of the questions are very tough though. They often have questions about things which happened that day, so it pays to thoroughly read the newspapers if you're playing that night. I thought the Madonna question was a bit cruel (only a few months either way in both cases, and I would have probably gone for American Pie too if I didn't have the luxury of G**gle. Plus the fact that I wasn't playing with real money.) I think the key to this game is to be brave earlier on with the easier questions and if you're even only partly sure of the correct answer just put the full amount on it and don't split. The later questions are often so hard that it comes down to a matter of pure guesswork and the more money you have to split at this stage the better. That is unless you're playing online where it is fairly pointless splitting at all, especially if you're playing for a Davina shout-out.

Anyone make it through the whole thing? I dropped out after Call My Bluff. It was all very entertaining, as well as being fascinating, and technically very impressive getting all those shows set up one after the other. Definitely worth £5 of anybody's money (Stephen Fry told me to donate, so how could I refuse?)

ibroxmassive posted:Since when did my license fee go to ITV? Well, your license fee goes to the BBC. BBC staff get paid by the BBC. BBC staff then go and purchase goods and services. The producers of said goods and services more than likely advertise their products on ITV. ITV gets paid by the producers of said goods and services. So, now you see how your BBC license fee is helping fund terrible ITV programmes starring Peaches Geldof. It also happens when you buy a KFC or a packet of McVities biscuits or a tube of Aquafresh too.

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:I've watched it twice now, and it's really good, in particular the second half of the show really cranks up the tension, especially once all the noises and things start. I think the DVD comes with an essay either by the person at the BBC who commissioned it or by the person who wrote it and it's a fascinating read. The most interesting part was that on the day of the broadcast, the BBC decided that they had to insert the 'Screen One' intro before it was shown, essentially admitting that it was in fact a drama. Had they not done so and presented it as live, the fallout would have been much worse. What they didn't take into account was the number of people who would come into the programme five or ten minutes late, miss the Screen One intro, and think it was real (like I did). It was very cleverly made, and because it used respected TV presenters instead of actors, felt very convincing. Watching it now, in 2011, split up into bits on Youtube, and knowing it to be a scripted drama, doesn't quite induce the same level of raw terror that watching it 'live' on the BBC (so no commercials to break it up) as an impressionable 13 year old who believes it to be a genuine documentary about ghosts did. I was scared shitless. I'm pretty sure I didn't sleep that night, and possibly a few subsequent nights too, even after I found out it was a fake. Of course, everyone was talking about it afterwards at school, but curiously nobody admitted to being scared by it. I guess my school must have been populated by cynical hardasses (or porky-telling scaredycats).
