Mr. Squishy posted:Lamar cares about vinyl records, and he used to care about playing them on radio 2. Then he walked into the building after a holiday and they had Elton John's piano in the lobby and he quit on the spot. Wait, why did that make him quit? The two don't really seem connected to each other at all to me.

He didn't like the direction the musical content was going. Thought the piano was a clear sign that they'd given up on being anything other than a soft, classic hits station.

I have a pal who like the guardian and constantly bangs on about Will Self articles, but then I always think back to his time on Shooting Stars and prefer remembering that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkSPh5Qq1yQ Speaking of which, I remember an old video tape of Will Self talking about how much he loves motorways whilst driving around the m25 and at one point gets into the back seat as he lets the car drive itself. Does anyone remember?

In Marc's defence, the sole direction he was given on Shooting Stars was to sit there and look like he wasn't enjoying himself, which he accomplished with at least 90% success.

Think everybody should watch last nights' episode of 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, just for Greg Davies doing an impression of Chris Eubank that was so astonishingly poor it nearly made Jimmy Carry wet himself. It's incredibly funny, and I'm not quite sure why.

Reminds me of the time "They Think It's All Over" nearly booked Joanna Lumley instead of Jonah Lomu. My girlfriend is enjoying Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and wants me to watch it too, but it's rubbish, can anyone give me any soundbites to describe it positively in case she wants my opinion? Opinions are hard.

He's confessing to being too lazy to form opinions and your advice is to read an 800 page book. I'm liking it still, it's good all-the-family fun, CGI is surprisingly not-poo poo, and they're making the sets sing.And I guess I'm a sucker for a mix of Trollope and Harry Potter.

So TFI Friday is finally back. It might just be nostalgia but i definitely thought it was one of the best late night shows of its type. I remember always having the feeling that the celebs liked being there, like they were just hanging about and having a laugh instead of this podium based guff we have these days where it's blatant they're only putting on a happy appearance because they want to flog something.

It was great, but it was also very much of it's time and place. I'm sure a one off episode will be fine, but I reckon any plans to bring it back properly would fail miserably.

It was great because of how naive Channel 4 were and how little shits were given by Even's and his gang. Now Channel 4 is far too clued up and would only allow that kind of poo poo after 11 o'clock in the evening, not 6 o'clock.

I'm fairly sure if any of you sat down and watched an old episode of TFI you'd cringe all the way through unless forced, zany 90s humour has a cult following itt

The CGI is working on a budget, but it's never really bad, and the practical effects and costumes are nice. I like how the show will trick you into thinking you're watching a period drama and then suddenly pull out some eerie magic poo poo.

It's been a decade since I read the book and...wow, I'd forgotten just how gruesome the section where Strange is fighting in the Napoleonic Wars is. His face when he realised he couldn't rid the enemy corpses of their terrible shambling half-life was really well done. Walked the line between horror and black comedy quite well. Wellington being so grumpy and pragmatic was aces too.

I'm really disappointed at how rushed the adaptation is, but the show won me over with the horse shoal scene. That and Lascelles/Drawlight are the most perfect casting choices.

So is this set before or after London gets annihilated in a nuclear blast and some sexy young agents are forced into service? You forgot about Spooks: Code 9 didn't you? You should never forget about Spooks: Code 9...

Remember when it used to be red dwarf, blackadder and bit of TFI or whatever? Friday nights used to be good telly so they did. Now it's loving cakes, panel shows and and reruns of US sitcoms.
