Red Oktober posted:Inside No. 9: I never saw Psychoville and it sounds like a lot of the episode went over my head. Ping pong balls and the blender had something to do with it? (And obviously the cast) To describe it would probably only raise more questions. I'd recommend watching the show if you like Inside Number 9. It's dead good and probably on netflix or iplayer.

Inside Number 9 5.3: A heavy, serious, realistic episode, which I expected to be cut through with a loud HELLO DAVE once the grandad opened the heavily knocked door

ookiimarukochan posted:If you have been ignoring HIGNFY because it's poo poo (which it is) I'd strongly recommend watching the new series, particularly the extended versions. It's not funny but it IS compelling viewing. Gotta be the worst of quaranTV. Hislop is even more insufferable, although in the last one he was being facetious about the tories, tongue in cheekly claiming they offered something (with the subtext being that they hadn't) and the other contestants just seemed to take it at face value. Also Paul Merton doesn't know that chopped tomatoes is an actual product. Incredible. Taear posted:I laughed a lot but it didn't feel like the same show! Cool, thanks. Pablo Bluth posted:I have a rock solid 100mb internet connection but NowTV just isn't as reliable as Netflix, Amazon Prime or Youtube and drops down to a lower resolution blockiness much more frequency. They were almost certainly seeing losses in quality (at random intervals due to network congestion at who-knows-where) and were probably using confirmation-bias to assign blame to the weather/passing vehicles/Jerry next door wearing blue socks/astrological alignment/gay frogs/Socialists/immigrants/The EU/other. My Now TV does that but only with certain shows - and the longer it goes on. Starts fine, then past the 40 minute mark it just goes so  VEEP, Westworld and Save Me do it. The Wire never does.

What I didn't get is why the question they ask you on the phone is so difficult. Surely you'd really want a mix of people who will win small prizes and larger prizes. Peo[ple using their phone a friend on the £400 is Very Good Millenium Television. Padje fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Apr 20, 2020 |

Pablo Bluth posted:https://millionaire.fandom.com/wiki/Category:%C2%A30_winners_(UK) I got 8/8 but I think the passing the rubicon question is probably a bit hard for a lot of people. The other answers aren't ludicrous enough to push you in the right direction either. Taear posted:No it's not. Even on pointless a question like that got 80 points. Do they actually ask people these questions or use some sort of online algorithm, or just make it up? Always assumed one of the latter two.

Have we all watched Save Me and Save Me Too? You've probably seen the ads, but it's about an alcoholic man who takes it on himself to find his estranged daughter when she's the victim of a kidnapping. It's Lewisham Noir, with the protagonist bearing the physical scars (from a post closing time hiding) and a superheroic clothing (a yellow puffa jacket belonging to the ex of his mistress) consistent with the genre. Really recommend it.

Anbybody remember the 2004 BBC Three drama show Bodies? I'm 2 episodes in on amazon. It's the Line of Duty guy's other hospital drama after Cardiac Arrest (which I loved and probably shouldn't've watched when it aired when I was 10 - but you couldn't tear me away from the screen when Helen Baxendale was on it). It's nowhere near as stupid as Line of Duty, but it does have the same tension and is just as addictive. It's set exclusively on a maternity ward and focuses on the absolute worst things that can happen to pregnant women, all of which are derived from the creator's real world job as a hospital doctor. It's incredibly grim. Would not recommend it to fans of One Born Every Minute Also speaking of Line of Duty I'm at the end of series 3. Does anyone know if there's a podcast or similar discussing how ridiculous it is? I saw one but got the impression it was going to be fawning.

Anyone watch the new Derren Brown last night? It was so transparently obvious what he was doing, I was psyching myself up for the other shoe to drop and feel like I'd been had. But no. I don't get how practising this exact trick he'd actually harm himself. There was no mark involved?

Mr Beens posted:This is literally one of the things "psychics" and "mediums" do. In the old days they had to send researchers out to people's houses conducting surveys about random stuff, but these days social media makes it much easier. Must be so easy for them now with people clicking 'attending' on the facebook events.

Doesn't look like there's a Year in the Life of a Year this year. Only seen last year's one, which took me by surprise when it was on. The Paddington mash-up won me over. Let's remember Channel 5's Radiator Bleeding with Christopher Ecclestone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGLjk_ztWVg

Taear posted:I really like the Circle as a concept altogether. As a person (like probably everyone on this forum) who has lived almost their whole life communicating with people via text as well as a sociologist it's very interesting to see how teeny tiny things absolutely set people off. A woman doesn't know little mix songs?? Must be a fake. There's a lot of stuff they don't show, probably mostly people asking why Will I Am would be on this show. The closest we got was Denise Van Outen asking if people really think Will I Am is in one of these flats doing his own washing up. It's interesting to see the catfishes flounder when they fail to construct an entire world around their character. Series 1 had a girl who catfished as her own grandad, but decided to make him a never-married childless man. He had nothing going on and she got upset no one liked her 'grandad' Comparing him to series 2's single mother catfish, in which a man had a whole binder of information based on his sister and other women he knew. He was able to answer any question and get snotty if people delved a bit too deep. The series became a battle of class, and it's unfortunate he lost the in-house winners vote to the UKIP man. Enjoying this series. The army police girl getting upset at the nurse being an assassin, only to turn around 30 minutes later and say 'I have successfully made this woman my girlfriend' was top tier circling.

Annabel Pee posted:The Circle The OG 4 realising one of the new players was probably and old player and turning against them was so good. Nice to see all the originals should make it to the final as friends now. Manrika has been one of the greatest reality show players, but it was pretty funny how the other 3 worked it out that the newbie was old players in disguise, while she was frothing about being betrayed. tbf, anyone kicked out and not going to visit another contestant is going to be assumed to be coming back, after they put 2 ex players together last year. Next season they should be told to keep visits from departing players a secret. It's not like they don't all see the reveal video anyway. Gotta figure and hope Andy blocks Alice tonight, given his appearance at the dinner would be interesting for all of 2 seconds. Not that anyone's gonna get a look in once Manrika meets Felix. I'm already feeling that anxious tension I used to get each year when my mum went off to Parents' Evening. The yank one starts next week, and this time we can watch it along with the rest of the world.

Total Meatlove posted:If you go on your home made perfect, cry at the VR plans and then gently caress off the design when building it you should have to pay a fine. Such a weird show. 50 minutes of 'here's 2 VR homes, choose one!' and then 5 minutes of 'so this is what that looks like in real life, with parts changed because you either didn't like them, or didn't have the budget, or the builders said it wasn't possible'. If this was the 90s I think the production company would pay for the refurb and you'd have to just like or lump the results. There was a show on Channel 4 just before christmas with Damon from Brookie buying a home for 2 strangers, so they could refurbish it and then sell it on at a profit, with the goal being to get enough from it to be the deposit on their own home. Only twice over 20 (or 25) episodes did someone manage to make enough money for a small deposit. Normally 2 people would work all their free time over 6 months and then get £3000 out of it. It won a TV BAFTA the other day.

I'm gonna watch it. There was a pilot in the lockdown with Stacey Solomon taking then entire contents of your home to a warehouse, and laying it out. You were allowed to take 25% of it back with you. Stacey was trying to explain to a mother that she didn't need to keep every single scribble on printer paper her kids were creating, nor the first scone they baked in school, wrapped like a white turd in clingfilm. There's a similar one on Channel 4 currently. They were amazed at how much the young teens were spending on branded tracksuits and trainers, so they made them buy some new ones from boohoo (or somewhere like that) for cheaper. Despite shelling out a couple hundred on these new trackies and trainers that they didn't need, the show told us the family had now saved thousands of pounds. Amazing maths.
