Graviton v2 posted:loving nice, the old ones have been on repeat so long now I thought they might have packed it in or maybe Stephen had a particually bad depressive episode. The new episodes were recorded months ago, I have no idea why they wait so long to put it out. Ross Noble makes his QI debut this series! According to some Stephen Fry interview, one regular insists on seeing the questions ahead of time (as opposed to all of them, as I had assumed), and went on to insist it wasn't Alan or Rob Brydon. Popular opinion is Rory McGrath, but I think people's opinions are coloured by his "cheating" on They Think It's All Over, when he's actually very clever from what I can gather, and I think only did it because it was funny. Honestly the show wasn't that great looking back, compared to Buzzcocks or HIGNFY in their primes, one of the few strong memories I have of it is Hancock getting annoyed at Rory's sometimes-blatant cheating.

SeanBeansShako posted:gently caress yeah, Four Lions arrived in the post. Anyone got a cardboard slim style DVD box instead of the usual plastic issue? I think that's standard, had a quick look at the box (with almost no text on it) and I think it was card. The sturdy kind, not really slim if you asked me. Nice case.

slotbadger posted:I heard that. I think it was on Robin Ince & Josie Long's Utter Shambles, which is an excellent podcast. I don't think Jupitus thought it was out of order, he's pretty loving blunt with himself about being a fat gently caress. If you listen to the Perfect 10, he's constantly on diets and usually off alcohol too. I think it was a recent QI, with the question about the "baseline specimen" of humanity that he said his body type was "a duvet stuffed with meat". I've never had a problem with him, I liked him on Buzzcocks when I was still watching it and his contributions to panel shows. I think I've only seen him do actual standup on "We Know Where You Live, Live!" when he did a good bit about who should have been Obi Wan in the Star Wars prequels.

If anyone's not seen it yet, this weeks QI features Eddie Izzard, I think for the first time since the pilot. Also Danny Baker, who I'm sure we're all wishing well.

I think he's known for a while, he apparently made reference to his "radioactive medicine" on his radio show. Leyburn posted:This seems to be on the iPlayer, not listened to it yet, but it might be good. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00p84qc/Red_Dwarf_Infinity_Welcomes_Careful_Drivers_Episode_1/ I remember it being good, it's basically the audio book with sound effects from back when BBC radio did awesome things like that and Batman: Knightfall. There will probably be times you think you are listening to the rest of the cast, Chris Barrie does every single one of them perfectly.

Used to be put up On Demand over the weekends, have no idea when it was actually on the telly but for the past couple weeks it hasn't been put up. Wanted to see more of Eddie Izzard. I think it's just a matter of if the material is there to do an extended one. Or they may just decide it based on what else is on that Saturday.

It does mean you will usually have a bit in the middle where it will need to stop and stream again where the ads should be. I have a mate who's always had ABP and had a sudden moment of realization when I explained that to him, he never realized there were meant to be ads to begin with.

Raeg posted:For radio, it'd be worth giving Just a Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue a try. When something doesn't seem to make sense, listen for a few more episodes, then you'll get it. Been a while since I last saw a forum game of Mornington Crescent, good times. You'll probably also like "Would I Lie To You", similar concept to the Unbelievable Truth but with more in common with normal panel games rather than being monologue-based, and has David Mitchell as a team captain. Gets similar participants to 8 Out of 10 and QI as well.

Akuma posted:You know, I've come to hate the word "banter." It gets used so much it's lost all meaning. JUST A BIT O BANTER INNIT. That may be in large part due to having to design a video game around a heavily "banter-based" panel show and getting frustrated and having to ask people to quantify what "a bit of banter" actually means from a gameplay perspective. poo poo those were some long design meetings. You watch a lot of Dave's continuity then? What was the game, if you can tell us?

Uncertain Frog posted:Speaking of Ross Noble and Paul Merton, ITV made a show called something like Thank God You're Here based on an Australian version that Ross used to show up on alot. Did they ever make more than one series? It was hilarious. Speaking of Ross Noble, I'm seeing his stand-up tonight  Wiki says there was only the one series and it didn't perform well. Offhand I will attribute this to being too good for ITV.

There are many legitimate criticisms you can level at Ian Hislop but it is in no way fair to call him "Daily Mail". Ross Noble was great tonight, I've now seen him kill 5 guinea pigs (flogged) one budgie (stomped upon by the UN) and one panda (beaten)

LE0N posted:A reminder that last year mitchell and brooker hardly made any jokes or any attempt really to make people laugh and were oddly quiet and forgettable during the usual banter-filled quiz of the year. They even played up the "heh we are old fuddy duddies" routine till it wasnt funny and got tiresome. "A trombone made of lacquered poo poo?" is probably the most memorable line of the night. Anyway, lineup looks poor even when I don't take as dim a view of them as some. Alan Carr has no business on TV. Or stage. Or land.

Pablo Bluth posted:There's a new BBC2 sitcom starting a week tomorrow. It's called Episodes (thus making it impossible to google). It's a BBC-Showtime co-production, set on the set of a fictional British Sitcom disastrously being remade in the US. It's written by one of the Friends creators (David Crane) and somebody who has a string of short-lived sitcoms (Jeffrey Klarik) and stars Matt LeBlanc. I can't help feel it might be a humongous train-wreck. Thanks for saving me a Google, I was sat across from someone reading about this on a train, so just saw promo pictures of Matt LeBlanc with Steve Mangan and Tamsin Greig. Worth noting that LeBlanc will be playing a caricature of himself (I don't really know what that entails, is that just Joey?) It's an interesting idea, what with so many UK shows and formats being attempted in the US, though maybe it's a bit late since the US Office actually became a success and has merit of it's own. The idea's good enough that I will probably give it a shot unless I see some really bad preview material for it.

It always annoyed me that the ads would say a Mac can do "fun stuff" like, erm, photos and videos and music (and of course, PCs have followed suit there now) and yet there is no mention of games. Not as annoying as the Mac/PC arguments that occurred before then: "A Mac is way more powerful than a PC!" "Are you comparing like for like valued machines?" "Of course not! The Mac is three times as much!" "What if you compared these two identically priced machines?" "But it's not a Mac!" Mitchell and Webb seem fairly mercurial about advertising, That Mitchell and Webb Book has a bunch of "rejected campaigns" that send up the Apple ads.
