I once caught Nutkins staring at a woman's arse in Sainsburys. He was pretending to be looking at an orange in his hand.

The woman appeared to be in her 30s, so fret not.

Just remembered my sister accidentally barged Andi Peters and winded him. As he sucked wind on the NEC floor, he did not have the air or eyes of a nonce.

I've had no interaction with Neil Buchanan, although I did meet his BBC equivalent Mark Speight, who did me a little sketch. He was alright

Aw, we were talking about him the other day, there is a charity set up that helps children and art come together- http://www.speightoftheart.org.uk/index_foundation.php Really sad what happened to him :(


I quite literally bumped into Chris Morris about 13 years ago at a performance of King Lear at the Old Vic in London. I was so stunned I didn't say a word to him despite being totally in awe of him. I don't even know what I could have said. Ah, missed opportunities.

Friend of mine was once stood behind him in a queue at an airport coffee shop and halfway through a conversation my friend was having with his girlfriend that was totally unrelated to Andi Peters, Peters picked up his coffee turned round and said "Yes, it is me" and flounced off.

Not TV, but it looks like a bunch of the Just a Minute back catalog will disappear soon. Although a bunch of outlets are referring to Freud as definitely a paedophile, thought it was a bit soon for that?

I've had an incredibly disappointing fortnight - I've been binging through JaM having never listened to it before and have run the whole spectrum of "oh wow this guy is incredible, I should listen to more of his stuff" to "oh poo poo he's dead" on Monday to "oh poo poo he's a paedo" yesterday.

The new series of Taskmaster has started and the first episode had some stupidly funny challenges. Richard Osman and Joe Wilkinson are some of the contestants this season which have been really amazing so far.

I'm sorry to anyone in thread, but I really tried to get into Versailles (I really enjoyed over the top sexy Borgias alright? listen to that opening theme!) but gently caress me I just couldn't. I love historical dramas but this one really couldn't grip me. I cannot finish this 2nd episode.

I've got no problem with sex now. It's just the slow pace and terrible terrible off putting writing. I cannot tell which is more jarring the fact the main plot is WE CANNOT HAVE THE KING BUILD VERSAILLES (we sort of already know how this ends up) or the hilariously shallow badly written fictional secret police enforcer who when told he didn't have to murder a baby sulked.

:toot: 1000th Casualty tonight. :toot:

SeanBeansShako -- I've had the same problem with Versailles. I've tried twice and just can't get into it. Aftet gamely sitting through episode one, and then doing a bit of reading that this is 10 episodes of just one year in Louis's reign...:negative: The guy ruled for like 375 years -- that's some forward planning on the part of the producers/writers. I was hoping for a sumptuous televisual feast like Wolf Hall. A time period I know enough about it enjoy the story, but not enough about to howl with rage over the historical inaccuracies.

It's all good looking and all that...but yeah, after about the fourth or fifth time Louis was banging on about his vision to build a palace at Versaille, and people telling him, You can't build a place at Versailles! and him insisting it's his destiny to build a palace at Versailles*...yeah, I dove back into the stack of Doctor in the House dvds I've just got (pre-teen Ms Boods's crush Robin Nedwell :circlefap:).


*might be exaggerating here, but it sure felt like it...

It doesn't help that make up hair dressing was so drat lazy they couldn't do five minutes research and figuire out how to at least add things like ribbons/hats/different wigs and hair styles so we could tell half the male cast members apart. Also, the sex isn't the issue it is the pacing of it.

Don't slam dunk a sex scene, nudity then a sex scene in a row in the first episode where we want background info/character establishing moments. Such a shame.

A shame really, just a minor bit of effort and it'd be a guilty pleasure rather than just a waste of money and a really lovely concept.
