Dell_Zincht posted:Oi, there's nothing wrong with Peep Show series 4. Sure it got a bit silly at times, but it is a sitcom. Even though The Inbetweeners strikes a chord with those of us who remember being a bit like that at school, it's not meant to be entirely realistic. Peep Show series 4, for all it's silliness, is entirely redeemed by the line "There are many things I'd do for you, Jeremy, but digging a hole in the wintery earth with my bare hands to bury the corpse of a dog you killed is not one of them." I can't even read it without laughing out loud. I get to "corpse" and crack up. On the topic of Peep Show, Matt King (Superhans) tweeted recently that series 7 starts November 26th.

Hollyoaks is incredible. Warren died in a fire, but actually he didn't, it was someone else's horribly charred body and Warren escaped. And Theresa saw the whole thing. This happened months ago and she just hasn't mentioned it til now. Some blackmail nonsense. Speaking of Theresa, she slept with her cousin Carmel's fiance, and got pregnant. Said fiance also had an affair with Mercedes, Carmel's sister. Then Theresa shot him dead. Carmel is now looking after Theresa's baby. Mercedes's husband died recently, but no one really seems to care all that much. A 12-year-old is pregnant by another 12-year-old. A boy found out that his best mate is actually his half brother because his dad has been living a double life with two families. There's a girl who wants to be a boy. She's going around kissing other boys while dressed as a boy. Dom set fire to his restaurant because Bart told him he'd found kiddy porn on his laptop. Steph, who had terminal cancer, died in the fire (she rescued some kids then refused to come out of the house even though her husband was at the window pleading with her to get out), and Malachy (Mercedes's husband mentioned above) got blown up, or something. Now Dom's in jail. Brendan, the moustache-twirling villain of the piece, has been fooling around with Ste. Now Ste used to date Amy and had a kid with her, but then he smacked her around a bit so that ended. Since then he's been sleeping with lots of girls (including Amy again for a bit). Now he's gay. Not bisexual, as you might think considering his womanising past, he's gay. With Brendan. Who's denying it. Of course. Half the cast got written out a little while back, and they brought in a whole bunch of new people who really can't act. Along with them came these amazing storylines. It's loving batshit. Goddamn highlight of my day.

One of my favourite plots was when Beth cheated on Gilly with Rhys, who was actually her brother. Then she died in a car crash. I also liked when Lydia sabotaged a parachute, meaning to kill Zoe, but instead causing Sarah to fall to her horrible death. That was Hollyoaks Later, though.

LE0N posted:David's mother's body was eventually discovered by his friend Lee. Lee had gone round to the house thinking it would be empty so he could have sex with his friend Stacey Foxx. Stacey sat down on Mrs Burke's body and screamed. Realising what had happened, Lee and his mother Sally convinced Bombhead to move in with the Hunters. After his mother's funeral, Bombhead stopped seeing visions of Mr Cunningham. Lee's back now, you know! And he's probably the best character in it.

I really enjoyed How TV Ruined Your Life, but then I was expecting to! My Dad has a DVD full of old public safety ads, all the ones featured on the show are on that DVD, and my little brother went through a phase of watching it several times a day, so last night was a bit of a nostalgia trip too JIMMYYYYY!!

Flatscan posted:Yes, it was. I watched a similar one to this without the weird sci-fi element, and it's stuck with me to this day. I know it had a dark-haired kid, can't remember if it was a boy or a girl, dying in nasty ways - I remember him/her walking across a beam high up and falling, and digging a hole in sand and having it collapse on him. Wish I could find it I did spent half the afternoon watching 70's public safety videos anyway, like Building Sites Bite and Apaches (which is horrific! The little girl drinking the chemical! )

Quite enjoyed Skins, and I hated series 3 and 4. I'll take Franky over Freddie or Cook or any of those other dickheads from the last lot. I can't even remember the girls (apart from batshit Effy). Hopefully this one will be more like the first two series.

Rarity posted:I've just switched over to Skins and I already think Rich is a dickhead. Although this might be coloured by the fact every scuzzy long-haired metal fan I've known has been pretentious snobby wanker. "Metalheads" are dicks almost without exception. I kinda like Rich, though, if only because he's such a goofy idiot, and next to Allo anyone would look cool. I'm enjoying this series far more than the last two, though it'll never be as good as the first two - Sid and Cassie were awesome and I'm still not over Chris

Baby Arm Balloon posted:Not to get off topic but I thought I'd mention I live in the same city as Matthew Holness. Apparently he was really approachable. A friend of mine's friend worked in a cafe he'd go into occasionally and asked for an autograph and he stayed in Garth character for it, which makes him sound like an awesome guy. I've only seen him a couple of times on the street though, haven't approached him yet Wikipedia says he lives in Norwich, this still true? Repping my hometown! I rather enjoyed Friday Night Dinner, but I'm unashamedly a bit in love with Tamsin Greig.

I didn't realise Wo-Gan was Serafinowicz, I love that guy. He's hilarious in basically everything he does ever. Anyone watching Masterchef? It's ridiculous now but I'm really enjoying it, I guess I'm a sucker for that kind of terrible reality show, Top Model-type format. Rooting for Tim right now, but I have a huge crush on Kennedy, he's adorable

If nothing else it's made me vow never to interact with other tourists on holiday. Watched it religiously last series. I absolutely loved the crazy drama with Hillary. And batshit Mary with the donkey laugh! Rob and Timmy were deserving winners, bless 'em.

Hoops posted:I never saw it, but I looked it up and yeah that's the kid I mean, Will Poulter. Wikipedia says he's won a few "newcomer" awards. Yeah he was great in Son of Rambow. He was also Eustace in Voyage of the Dawn Treader recently, I haven't seen it but apparently he's good in that too. Rarity posted:Balls of Steel was very very hit-and-miss but it gave us Alex Zane when he was funny and the Bunny Boiler and I will stand by Randy Campbell's Insane Stunts as being sheer brilliance. I wish there were more Randy Campbell bits, they're fantastic. Jehovah C Clark! I like some of The Annoying Devil's bits as well, and it might just be me but Neg is consistently hilarious. Always enjoy the Pain Men too, but I'm one of those weirdos who actually likes Dirty Sanchez.

FAT WORM OF ERROR posted:What happened? Last time I watched waterloo road I saw the fat kid from Grange Hill who tried to commit suicide by jumping face first into a pool was on it, that kid is doomed to play schoolchildren forever A long-serving teenage character died in her sleep of terminal cancer in her mum's arms. I've been disappointed with the last couple of series', but that episode was pretty good. It does just serve to reinforce the unspoken law that anyone Tom gets close to dies or is seriously injured and subsequently disappears.

Atomic Dog posted:Absolutely. I watched it a few years ago and it's just brutal: animals getting killed off every other episode. Here's part of a synopsis for an episode in the first series: And when they had to cross a busy road and Mr Hedgehog got scared and rolled up into a ball and Mrs Hedgehog tried to make him carry on but a car came and ran them over And the voles and mice left the group in a huff for some reason and everyone found them later all killed and impaled on thorns by a shrike Man, that show was my favourite as a kid, I don't know how it didn't traumatise me. e: I do remember being absolutely devastated in one of the later series when Mole and Badger died. Oh god and Badger ended up going senile and never even found out that Mole had died and just thought his little son Mossy was Mole
