So it was just the first four Him and Her episodes that were put on iplayer a week early? That's a bit poo poo and pointless.

That's.... an OK looking Big Fat Quiz line-up, actually. Although Richard Ayode being on the 'wacky team who get things wrong on purpose' seems to bring him down. It'd be better if they teamed him up with Dara and Kristen Schaal with Noel Fielding.

My friend just had it right when she said he was a twat when everyone thought he was putting it on, but when it became clear he wasn't, he somehow became quite endearing.

I think only the first two seasons aired over here anyway (on late night C5). DVDs have been available, but unless you're the type to hunt down US shows, it's not surprising that you wouldn't have heard about it before the Netflix promotion. It had a similar boost in the US this year, too. And yeah, I haven't seen Broadchurch yet, and I would have much prefered an old school screenwipe style segment telling me why it was good rather than DR WHO LOL!!!

Bozza posted:I've not watched The Bridge, but I did watch and enjoy The Tunnel - Stephen Dillane and Clemence Posey were both brilliant. If nothing else, it made me want to try and learn French for some reason. I would have thought so. As long as The Tunnel ended with the male detective's son being killed in the baddie's plot, you should be able to watch it as a continuation. There's a recap of the ending, anyway.

Answers Me posted:Is there any particular reason that the show is split up? The credits roll, there's a little break...and then back to the studio for a 'different' programme. I know the thing on after the main show is a little different but it still seems like an odd quirk. I haven't seen it, but a lot of hour-long BBC docs have an extra 15 minutes (making-of segments for Attenbourgh stuff for example) so they can sell the main bit to fit in hour long slots on channels that have adverts.

Taff posted:I see it as more of a Richard Herring bit tbh It's definitely one of those skits where you can almost feel Herring's presence. I don't think I've seen a single show by either Lee or Herring that didn't have a bit where they have a conversation with themselves playing the part of the other side of the partnership. I wish they'd do something together again.

The Perfect Element posted:I think the series was a bit of a wet fart, really. It got a few chuckles per episode, but I really think it lacked any particular insight or edge. It's been said in here before, but I think it would be so much better if there were episodes once a month so there was more time for Brooker and collaborators to get one, great hour/45 mins with less fluff and more actual analysis and decent satire. It was enjoyable enough, but a bit....pointless and un-Wipey? I thought Moments of Wonder was very funny, but felt like it should have been in a TV Go Home show or something rather than an x-Wipe. Shitpeas and clunk commenting on a news story was fine, and worked well, but I hate their TV stuff and would much prefer Brooker do old Screewipe style TV segments. Watching the Broadchurch bit for example, if I didn't know it was well received, I'd have no idea if the show was calling it good or poo poo.

Don't believe this has been brought up, but Richard Herring has an internet sort-of-tv-show-thing going on, which I only found out about when I saw him the other night. http://vimeo.com/channels/rhmol Similar to his touring shows with the odd animated sketch thrown in. You can pay a bit to subscribe via Go Faster Stripe for extended versions and extra interviews and what have you.

Captain Mediocre posted:Also I'm a big Richard Herring fan generally, but that first free episode of RHMOL seemed kinda lovely to me. Yeah, bits of it were OK. Pretty standard modern-day Herring without the polish of one of his tours or the anarchy of AIOTM.

So close to a really good Big Quiz line up as well. Everyone was answering the questions properly! Putting Ayoade on Mitchell's team was a good move. Apparently it would have been recorded around the time Mel B was 'having some trouble at home', though.

A friend of mine stayed with an ex of Brooker's in London once. She showed him a copy of one of his books he'd sent her, which was signed with something along the lines of 'To xxxxx, I bet you thought this would be all about you, didn't you? You were great at sucking cock though. Charlie Brooker'

Guardian posted:Meanwhile, Clarkson’s stint presenting BBC1 quiz Have I Got News for You is still due to go ahead on 23 April. However, sources say the final decision as to whether or not Clarkson will takes part will be down to him and it may be that he wishes to sever his links with the corporation entirely. I hope he doesn't chicken out of this and he gets a right kicking as his final Beeb appearance.
