Paperhouse posted:Try watching Limmy's Show series 2 to "get" him. I realise that sounds stupid and annoying but I didn't like him either before I watched his show and "got" him. I think Stanhope is alright too, though a lot of people seem to dislike him.

Oh, he can do much, much worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iqXbAApIVQ From a certain point in his career, I think, Culshaw went completely deaf and slightly visually impaired. Actually, the only good impression by him that I can remember now is the fourth Doctor. And probably Sir Patrick Moore.

If Theroux's new documentary on Scientology will be at least half as good as his WBC ones, I smell a well-deserved BAFTA for once.

You may as well complain that the US doesn't have anyone competent enough to run a local equivalent to Private Eye, which is a more legitimate gripe. Did you mean Brass Eye?

Are there actually any people who like him at all? Who are they? Extremely liberal self-loathing Catholics? Americans who like everything British because they can't understand the accent? I really hope he ends up somewhere in New Zealand thus minimising the damage.

The most amazing part to me was Lanston's relatives. They all were so confident he was going to be fine, so calm, almost  . Oh, pft, you know nothing, he'll get better in no time. And it really looked like a horrible denial that would hit them later when the gravity of the situation finally catches up with them... Yet they were right all along somehow. I am not ashamed to admit this episode made me cry a bit.Also, I can't imagine how Louis manages it. I assume during those several months he had to spent half a day with dying people, with their sorrows and pain, then go to see dog owners obsessed or disillusioned with their pets only to end the day with meeting some sex offenders. All that, while maintaining his usual veneer of friendly inquisitiveness and somewhat awkward compassion.

Trickjaw posted:This Theroux think on sex offenders in the US is certainly food for thought. Also, not one Corrie actors whatsoever. Truly, a heart-wrenching episode. If anything, it shows that there has to be more detailed categorisation involved in this type of offence. On surface, it's horribly wrong and unfair when a crime committed in a moment of personal darkness, the lowest point in life as a result of variety of unfortunate circumstances just leaves you with no hope for normal existence, never mind how hard you repent or how much you've already paid for it. But that said, I realise that neither I or anyone I know and care about on a personal level have ever suffered from people like that, and it's easy to forgive someone when you are not the one being wronged. It feels like in most cases you can either be biased or completely incompetent when it comes to things like that.

Trickjaw posted:I cannot abide Gervais, so I haven't watched it (can't even stand the adverts) but from them it seems like its just depending on laughing at mentally ill people, with just enough pathos that it isn't retard blackface. Is that about the size of it? It only shows that without Merchant Gervais is just really annoying. Merchant's 'Hello, Ladies' was head and shoulders above everything that Gervais spouted in five years.

What I find really compelling about The Missing is how media are shown to directly interfere often damaging the investigation instead of just reporting. Sensationalism around missing children is pretty unsettling. Re similar cases, I think the show obviously took some inspiration from disappearance of Madeleine McCann, which took place in Portugal.

Seaside Loafer posted:I dont want to watch that missing thing. Everyone keeps saying what quality it is but it just looks like it would bloody depressing. It's a well-executed drama and it pulls all the right heartstrings, so if you generally react to dramas that way, I reckon it might be a tad depressing to watch. However, I didn't find it all that gut-wrenching, so I say give it a go anyway. As a side note, my brother went missing with a friend in Greece when I was about ten and it was hell for the families until both safely returned on their own the next day. The Greece police weren't too keen on looking for them before two days or whatever, and nobody really cared at the hotel. Makes me wonder how realistic the initial reaction of the town in the show was.

For some unknown reason any prolonged discussion of British television among two or more British men is bound to devolve into discussion of sexual capabilities and preferences. I noticed this two years ago and so far the theory seems to be working. Still waiting for results on men from Australia and Ireland, though.

EL BROMANCE posted:Have no idea why I had some hope that a UK localised version of Drunk History would be worth watching. Take a really fun and simple concept that worked well on US TV and take it to a nation of drunks and bitter people, surely that can only work? To be fair, I didn't find the original too good either. I guess you have to be drunk yourself to fully enjoy it.
