That Matt guy seemed a bit of a mong. No doubt he's already been snapped up as a PCSO.

How do you become a continuity announcer? I've always wondered this. And how does it work? you just sit in a booth watching TV with a mic? I used to think it was all prerecorded, but sometimes they make little comments about stuff that, for example, happened at the end of the simpsons, or a "hmmmm" at the end of CSI or something.

I'm not sure myself, I would have thought pre-recorded but then if something goes tits up they seem to be there begging you for forgiveness and saying Eastenders will be on any second.

I don't need previews of what's going to happen in a show I'm already happily watching.

It's even worse when it's a BBC show where it's not even like there's a commercial break they need you to come back after.

Him smoking crack in the back of his car was the most depressing celeb thing I've ever read, really put me off watching the show for a while.

Looking back at it, I quite like how the first episode makes you seem to think 'tch typical, middle aged men being wankers on holiday' and then they pull the stops out at the end in a classic HOLY poo poo cliff hanger.

Just sad it is a little bit short now it is finishing this week :(.

Except they did the flash forward thing at the start so you know it won't always be this boring. Cheap trick.

No one could give less of a poo poo. It's even too boring for the rioters. I'm just annoyed that all these bank holidays hit when it makes no difference to me at all.

His act definitely works better as a bitter looking older guy. Also he appears to be made of plastic in that first clip.

Apprently the BBC is has shortened a Dr Who series for more new Sherlock.

Yaaay. Although I don't know why it has to be a case of either or.


So The Kennedys which is apparently so inaccurate no decent american channel would show it is now on BBC2, even though it's already been shown on History, a bit weird.

This was posted up on the Red Dwarf Facebook page about 20 minutes ago (caption "Look who's back together for a read-through") & for some reason I'm excited by it a lot.

I hold out some small hope the new ones may be good. This does look a bit like 3 homeless people and their social worker though.

Jesus, just watched the latest Theroux. That guy who looked like an older Louis, trapped in a nightmare corridor he can never leave while periodically giving dental checks. Then when he does escape it's with a wife he doesn't recognise and an old lady who also has dementia that flirts with and plots their escape. I really don't think I'd want to live if I got like that. Although saying that it was interesting watching the 80 year old woman get momentarily upset and then instantly forget it.


I'd definitely recommend Ideal, not what I was expecting when I began watching it, and then it gets progressively weirder from there. Of course BBC3 cancelled it, to make room for ... err.

They steal our good poo poo and make poo poo. So if we're stealing their poo poo poo poo how does that come out? Oh hang on it's Everybody Loves Raymond starring Catherine Tate and Lee Mack, that is unquantifiable by today's mathematics.

I'd love to do a documentary. Are there even any small/tiny channels still producing any original content any more? Other than repeats it just seems to be home shopping, "proper" porn and faith based stuff.

Hunted's pretty good. They keep doing stupid things even though they know (or have been told forcefully) that they're stupid. It's a shame they can't split up though, that one woman should have ditched the facial recognition paranoid idiot who scuppered them.

Surely they could just get a pile of new sims from a pound shop and avoid being tracked on the burners (which they are failing to burn) by using a new one every time?

It's the wife and kids who need the burners too.

The wives helpfully give up all information and passwords on request to the hunters so I'm not sure how effective that would be.

Jesus, you don't want to be a female in This Is England, either you'll be raped or your husband will be killed. Meanwhile if you're a guy you basically get off being a lovable loser for the most part.

Well I originally wrote abused, which all the women in that family and Trev have been in some manner. But there's definitely issues of consent with a crack fueled caravan gangbang surely. It feels like it was "easier" for her to go along with it and let it happen, especially with whatever issues she is clearly going through related to her dad. Also it's probably easier to blame herself for "being a slag" than admitting the other possibility. Not to mention if she did say something happened, Gadge and the boys would probably end up murdered by a new age pagan if they tried to do anything about it.

Hunted was ruined for me on the last episode, when I noticed theres a disclaimer that they dont have access to all the tech they talk about in the show. I know it was probably silly to think they would have, but the fact that I noticed they stated they dont just ruined it for me, then whenever they talked about setting up triggers on a phone location, they probably just had the cameraman with the guy on the run feeding them the info as a way of staging it.

Eh, it makes sense if they are replicated powers they would have as police, whether that is happening I'm not so sure though. Surely leaving a recording device on the spur of the moment in someone's house (who isn't even a suspect) wouldn't be legal?
