Alertrelic posted:Is anyone watching the discussion on The Scheme? Not sure if its just on BBC Scotland but it's actually pretty good. There are no diatribes about getting people to stop leeching off benefits, just intelligent panelists making reasonable points. Even the police guy seems fairly sane. Yes I am actually. It's quite good, I'm nodding and tutting etc and feel slightly annoyed that there's no one around to notice how well informed I'm being.

As irritating as Jamie Oliver is, I guess it's kind of hard to get mad about someone trying to ensure kids have better nutrition. He's still a mush mouthed twat, though.

ChuckDHead posted:Some people do take these comedy quizzes more seriously than others. Watching David Walliams seething on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year a few years back because Russell Brand and Noel Fielding were winning through sheer idiocy and entertainment value combined with the odd lucky answer was hilarious, and the most I've ever laughed at anything to do with David Walliams. I've now got a hankering to watch that again. Big Fat Quiz Of The Year has never lived up to that first one.

MisterLizard posted:Mine aren't anywhere near as good as that. Viserys Targaryen (the mad blonde deposed prince) popped up in Doctor Who a while back as Son of Mine in the Family of Blood Christ you're right! I remember looking him up after that episode because I was very taken with his sneery face. The only one I've spotted is that the young watcher recruit who had a lord try to touch his cock got killed in the first episode of misfits. Brown Moses posted:And off the Tesco ads. I am thankful I didn't realise this until after that character died.

marktheando posted:It's not real. Ahh booo. If it's true though I'd be pleased - Sherlock > Dr Who. Dr Who tits me off a bit because the beeb spends a big chunk of budget on a sprawling scifi series with loads of scope and it's charming and all but it's never going to be quite satisfying enough because it's a bloody kid's show (apologies to any autists/whofans) Come ooooooon gently caress the kids they already have loads of shows, give me a proper british scifi series. Taear posted:Really? I thought it was pretty poo poo, it really needs to be put to bed. So many of the jokes are now really obvious ones, and now that the comedians in it are all mostly famous we've heard their routines a thousand times. Yeah Mock the week is loving painful to watch. I don't know why but it winds me up worse than anything else on TV - except maybe the variations of "teenagers do a thing" shows you get on BBC3. It's weird because I like a lot of the comedians they have on fine in other contexts

marktheando posted:It's a show for the whole family, not just kids! And what, you weren't satisfied with Outcasts? Yes! I was excited about Outcasts and thought might shape up to be a pretty good show in later series, but it got cancelled. And I understand Dr Who! I like Dr Who! It's just it's the only british sci fi show with a decentish budget at the moment and it's so lame a lot of the time. Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm honestly not sure how telly works) but isn't it very hard getting that sort of series commissioned in this country because they are very expensive and risky? And with Dr Who already ticking the scifi box for the BBC wouldn't they be less likely to commission any ambitious new series? Not rejoicing in slashed budgets, poor old telly  I'm sure I'll become less grumpy about Dr Who when Misfits comes back on

FreakyZoid posted:6 Music have offered Collins & Josie Long the Saturday morning slot when Adam & Joe's run finishes again. As far as I know Collins has accepted, which does seem to suggest that Herring's running joke that Collins is just trading his way from comedian to comedian to better his own career is actually true. Collins is radio poison, but I would have quite liked to listen to Josie Long with someone else she is luvvvverly.

According to a distant sense memory that was activated by reading the sentence "a giant kitchen table, where the kids had to jump into a swimming-pool sized bowl of soup and hunt for giant letters to win a prize" I have a feeling that show was on ITV. If my idiot mush brain is to be trusted the guy presenting it kind of looked like he was from that band Cartoons. edit: just looked up that Cartoons music video on youtube and pissed myself laughing.

Yeah Sky Arts is alright, it shows quite a lot of ballet which is nice. But yeah don't get me started on beeb cuts, it winds me up like nothing else. The idea that there should be a body that creates programming that has a nobler agenda than targeting demographics and selling ad space is really important and is one of the few things I'm proud of in this country. The BBC is a loving pain in the arse with the way it runs itself, with it's unnecessary obsession with ratings, the compliance, the "balanced" rather than unbiased reporting and it's irritating inefficiency. But it's still worth the piddly little licence fee which I'd pay for Radio 4 and the website alone. It's about more than not having to watch adverts between episodes of Strictly Come Dancing, it's about having a service that can provide content that advertising funded large channels cant get away with and that guy is totally right gently caress everyone who wants to hobble it and ruin everything GGRAAAGHR SO MAD

I love love love university challenge and form an impromptu team with whoever is in the room at the time, but I'm so bad at remembering names. I'd struggle if paxo asked "Who was your best friend in highschool" straight down the camera. The amount of times I've answered a question with "Oh I know this! THAT GUY!!" and then wanted to punch myself in the face for being such a fud. Love the picture puzzle rounds they sometimes have though, great stuff. And it's the only time I've ever managed to gain social cred for my knowledge of the taxonomic names of british mammal and bird species  Also the above poster is insane the classical music rounds are the hardest bit!

Cerv posted:My favourite part of Uni Challenge is Paxman's barely disguised disgust on the occasions the music round dares dip into the last 100 years. I like the twinkle in his eye when he takes a shine to a team Hoops posted:It's not as though I didn't think of that, come on. It's something I notice every single time I watch it, I've been saying it for years now. I don't think the classical music questions are as obvious as you think. I do think the maths questions are particularly advanced, but I find for example the art questions very broad and rarely get them wrong, but only because I have had an interest in painting since childhood like you and your classical music. I have never gotten a single question right in a straight up classical music round, it's a very difficult thing to retain if you're not genuinely interested - as you obviously are. Everyone I watch it with groans when the classical music question comes up, we always hope it'll be something about radiohead or television theme tunes lol.
