also something funny about the new cast, my brother was an extra for some of Skins and apparently the rich girl is a bit of a diva irl. Something about her throwing a tantrum because nobody would go and get her a packet of crisps

Is that the girl who was in The Golden Comapass movie?

Trademark? With who? I can't think of any recognisable brand off the top of my head that's called Dave.

No-one gives a crap about the name anyway, it's got a reputation of showing the best funny bits of the BBC so calling it somethign else probably wouldn't make that much of a difference.

Apparently there's a brand consultancy company called Dave who've been fighting them in a trademark battle since the channel rebranded.

What's this 4thought TV stuff that's always on these days and why do they seem to always be preaching religion when i see them on the telly?

The one that was just on was advertised as "should parents smack their children", which promptly turned out to be the woman saying yes it is because the Bible says so while then showing her finding and reading a passage from it.

My highschool was full of that kind of bullshit.

They spend a week on a single subject, with a different persoon giving their views everyday.

Welcome to the modern world of shooting APs, self editing, and dubious ethical practices. If you want to see what tv could look like if its produced well by crafts people go watch Top Gear or something with Attenborough or Brian Cox Presenting.

I've just complained to the BBC about their news coverage of Japan. 10,000+ people dead and much of a country destroyed isn't sexy enough for them, so they have been fearmongering about atoms instead.

Why? They're reporting developing news.

I think the more glaring thing is that he seems to be talking like a small child trying to do a talk (on gold at the minute).

Here's a fact about gold
*pause*
It's gold and it does that.

Some people have done stuff with gold.

edit: you know what i'd like to see. A blend of a sci-fi/educational TV show.

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been done before, but it would be a series based on a group of astronauts launching on the first galaxy expedition. It would be a mix of fiction and reality with the fiction more or less being the technology that lets them travel fast and explore and reality being the analysis they do on each of the planets/stars/asteroids/etc in the galaxy.

I imagine it as being this wonders of the universe, but instead of a random science guy weakly narrating it, you've got a cast of actors in a series of sets(possibly made up of real scientists) physically going out there and studying it first hand.

Throw in some other fiction tropes (signs of alien life, etc) possibly with a more realistic spin such as finding baceria somewhere else, etc and i think we'd have a winner.

There was a show similar to that called Space Odyssey.

Wouldn't you get good economies of scale making a soap though? It's not like the production values are very high, and scenes don't seem to last longer than two seconds. Once they'd got the couple of camcorders into the cardboard set and the tenth-rate actors made-up and in place, they could probably film a year's worth of material in an afternoon.

Less profit overall though as they can't flog them on DVD afterwards.
