It pretty much is the more technical TV culture bits from Screenwipe, but it still is excellent.

But it's only a quarter past eleven! I hadn't heard the full Newswipe theme before, or knew what it was called so cheers for posting it. For completion's sake, here's the full Screenwipe theme too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmCidY0rSek

Neither was Robocop and Rambo but that didn't stop those hilarious cartoons from being made too. I bet that animated series is much better and more true to the spirit than the sequals to Starship Troopers too.

The first film was great as long as you're not one of those people who thinks it was meant to be taken entirely at face value absent all satire

I liked this summing up of Outcasts on the Guardianquote:So has Outcasts got going yet? Is there enough interest and potential to keep you hooked? It's a good-looking show, the world they've created seems interesting and there are some good performers here. But the writing seems a little flat and clumsy. In its favour, it does have moments when things come together, and it's a primetime serious science fiction drama, the kind of thing Britain doesn't do enough of. Potential is there, they just need to have a better writer, some of it is just plain lazy. The hostage situation was so, by the numbers, it was painful and the rest of the show looks like it will be Generic Sci-Fi with absolutely no imagination.

How TV Ruined Your Life was excellent last night. My favourite bit from Screenwipe maxed out to 30 minutes of awesome social commentary. Sadly lacking the brilliant "self es-steam engine" line, though. But yeah, easily the best so far.

I've only just started her introduction to Brooker by way of this show and I think she's going through a little culture shock as she starts to think about television in ways she never did before.

I didn't really like the film, though I admit it has been a while since I last sat and watched it. I suppose that gives me an excuse really. Not saying the cartoon is amazing, just quite good.

Hoping he's not commissioned to do one as a clip show like he was with Newswipe.

As are the lemurs. Heck, even the bugs of Madagascar are cute in a weird way. And we should start thinking seriously about how to clone David Attenborough. Because he is getting old, and the world really still needs a nice, gentle-voiced British man to keep on telling it about all the amazing things it's got, and why it shouldn't kill them off.

cloudchamber posted:Benedict Cumberbatch. He's so dreamy  And he does have a lovely voice and a wonderful name.But I'd still rather have a David Attenclone, lovingly filmed in HD, forever bimbling about the jungles of Borneo in his lovely khaki trousers and blue shirt, gently pondering the mysterious mating rituals of some small endangered animal while the BBC Orchestra plays some delightfully whimsical music in the background.

Is human planet any good? I thought it would be a good direction for the nature documentary to go after planet earth and blue planet. Maybe a documentary about life in the higher atmosphere. They had Tom Baker do the answer phones for BT a while ago. Maybe they can use the same technology to make the Attenborg.
