New series of Garrow's Law is out. The second series, to be precise. I, personally, really enjoyed the first series so I'm hoping the second one lives up. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00w5c5g/Garrows_Law_Series_2_Episode_1/ quote:Period drama. When 133 African prisoners are thrown overboard from a slave ship in suspicious circumstances, Garrow challenges the brutal trade that regards slaves as cargo.

thebardyspoon posted:Have they stopped putting QI XL on then? 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.

Was anyone else kind of bummed out by Eddie Izzard's performance on QI? At first I was annoyed 'cos it seemed like Bill Bailey and Alan were talking over him a lot, but then when he did get a chance to speak he wasn't very funny . (also he talked about B52s flying over Nazi Germany but actually they were B17s)

He can't act and his brain is wired for long surreal rambling, not quick wittedness and oneliners as required in any tv comedy quiz show. He was also on Question Time some years ago. He had nothing of any value to say. I should point out that I do love Eddie Izzard. His standup is fantastic.

Izzard's last standup DVD was awful, so maybe he's just run out of ideas. Blunt was very good on HIGNFY as well as Buzzcocks.

Blunt really does come across as a genuinely decent, funny person, who gets poo poo on by TV personalities because he has a posh voice.* After his last two panel show performances I'd take him over most of the regular circuit guests. *And his name rhymes with oval office.

Not strictly TV related but I finally got around to watching Four Lions. Man, Morris really hasn't lost it. The scene with Waj in the kebab shop was black comedy at its finest.

I was particularly amused by the spazzy Pudsey that came up before the last round and was clapping. Clearly his mental capacity has lowered over the years.

I enjoyed the trip this week. I think of it as a show with sketches using impression and food rather than a sitcom. The last few seconds got the biggest laugh for me this week. It's one of the few shows I laugh out loud (lol) at. Which reminds me, I'm getting a bit bored of any panel guest over 40 going on about twitter or facebook and how they don't understand it. It's the equivalent of a George Bush joke for 2010, get a grip dudes.

If you have a couple of hours to spare and want to watch some mindless telly, the 50 greatest Children in Need clips or whatever it's called was fantastic. It was on BBC3, narrated by Matt Berry, and lots of decent clips. Makes you remember how fantastic(and how fantastically awful) Children in Need can be

I think the main reason he gets poo poo on is because of the horrible, horrible music that is so dearly loved by the public. He is rather good on panel shows, though.

I've never seen "only connect" before but I'm watching the Children in Need special. What's with the lack of an audience? Is it always like that? It's freaking me out hearing all these witty jokes being followed by total silence. It all just feels really ackward. e: also if the point of the game is to find the connection between the things, why do they drop from 5 points to 3 points for introducing the second thing? How could they possibly get the full 5 points with just one thing? There would be nothing to connect it with! fuf fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Nov 17, 2010 |

I've done it on the second round once or twice. The first picture was twilight, so I guessed the last would be breaking dawn. I've seen people on the show do it too, when the first clue might be something like 'ignition' and it makes them think of fuel traveling through a car, and they rightly guess the last part. I saw some guys do it in the first round, correctly guessing that the connection was aerial maneuvers based on one clue.

On the subject of Only Connect, has anyone tried playing the online version of the connect wall? http://www.bbc.co.uk/onlyconnect/quiz/ I'm finding near enough impossible to get all 10 points on any of them. I've come close a couple of times, but the partial red herrings consistently mess me up. DiscoJ fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Nov 18, 2010 |

what annoys me is the groups with 5 or 6 correct answers. I know this is deliberate, but it's still very annoying, since it's possible to know one or two groups, get them "right" and still get no points because some of the right answers were meant to be in other groups which you didn't know. It makes it more of an all or nothing game EDIT: yay, my first ten pointer, wall #5 have to say, don't think many Americans would have gotten the Wombles Fatkraken fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Nov 18, 2010 |

Anyone else been finding iPlayer to be increasingly unreliable? I've never had a problem with 4OD but iPlayer seems to stutter and overlap all the time these days. Granted, I'm trying to watch the Apprentice which is probably one of the most in demand shows, but it's really annoying.

The annoying thing it does with me is play for a bit, then partially freeze, then the sound goes super loud and can't be turned off, then the sound starts playing AGAIN in the background, from the point at which it screwed up, and the picture freezes and starts up again at random hopefully it's some big code switchover or something and will be ironed out soon
