The main thing I learned from the telly this week is that when an elephant dies, a loving million horrible maggots will feast on it for weeks, and a hyena will climb into its arse.

I watched about half an episode of the first series and thought it was pretty poo poo. Is it worth giving the second a bash then?

Ohh I wasn't actually asking if there were nice places, I live here in a small town myself. I was just taking a dig at Kin for moaning about Dundee, then Falkirk and then having a pop at Alloa too. Wait... 23 hours?!

This was the first episode I have seen, and while I like some of Lee's material (and admittedly I've not seen that much), I wasn't really feeling this. Besides the Tramadol Nights dig, "bring coke" and "that's just precipitation" I don't think I laughed at all.

Bland posted:Well if you had seen it you'd know that wickles was just referencing a line from the show so you wouldn't have had to waste your time with that pointless first paragraph I agree, there seems to be a a sense of smug, self-superiority that Stewert Lee gives off, not unintentionally I would guess and it certainly seems to have rubbed off on his fans. I thought twice about posting my thoughts on the show because I couldn't be hosed with the inevitable 'hurrr, go watch Peter Kay, Del Boy, Michael McIntyre...' reponses. I got the impression that the material he did on last night's show would have been a lot funnier if you had actually been in the audience. The humour was meant to come from the excruciating repetition of the same material and that doesn't really come across very well when the audience are watching at a remove. It kinda takes the material out of its natural context a wee bit. Particularly it's hard to see how the section where he scrutinised his own act with an imaginary person on the phone could translate well on screen. He even acknowledged this himself during the performance. From what I seen last night I can tell he is a bit of a craftsman and is dedicated to his chosen art form, it was almost a kind of comedy minimalism. I can appreciate what he was doing. It's just that it wasn't that funny... Leyburn fucked around with this message at 12:34 on May 12, 2011 |

I've only seen the first episode of The Scheme from back when they they first attempted to show it and I will be watching the rest. I disagree that it is 'poverty porn'. Substance abuse, anti-social behaviour, violence, self-destruction and all the rest are massive issues in Scotland and the show (from what I have seen) takes a look at them while maintaining a serious tone and admirably avoids turning its subjects into cartoon characters or figures of fun. The audience may do this anyway, but to glibly dismiss the film after one episode as 'poverty porn' does the film-makers a disservice in my opinion and assumes the worst of intentions.

The best thing is, no one even referred to any female characters using the wrong name, let alone an offensive one. Edit: Did anyone else tune in to the paper review on Sky News for a laugh last night? They couldn't wait to move on from the broadsheets and start talking about sandwiches, cheryl cole and poo poo.

The one truly great episode I can remember from Friends is one where there is a power cut in the city and Chandler gets locked in a bank vestibule with a beautiful model, where he neurotically tortures himself over every single thing that comes out of his mouth. loving hilarious. Dare I say, almost Costanzaian. Edit: Yeah this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYbBjSda550

Shooting Stars is unbelievably funny. Almost introducing Brigitte Nielsen as Dennis Nilsen was spectacular. Everything Angelos did was amazing. Tights Night. It's a lot funnier than it has any right to be after so many years.

SeanBeansShako posted:So Harry Hill did inspire somebody else to do that! I've seen Simon Bodkin live in Edinburgh before (once as Lee Nelson, the other doing a whole load of different characters) and he was really funny. I've never seen his show though, it's on BBC3 and that's all I need to know. When he performs live a lot of it is just improv and talking to the crowd, so maybe doesn't work on telly.

My feeling was that he made up the stuff about the barn to draw her in and keep her involved with him, as I think he understood that the more information he gave to her, the closer she got to him. It's hard to say though, because he was obviously a loving maniac.

He seems obsessed by his own celebrity. I've never been able to stand him though, so I've never been able to watch any of his stuff objectively, since I always have the urge to claw his loving eyes out whenever I see him.
