Brian Cox is the best guy in the world and I can't wait to watch on iPlayer. I wonder if he is a goon.

(or at least a double act of nerdy-presenter plus presentable-nerd) They just seem to have so much passion for what they're talking about and are clearly enjoying it, but they don't let that interrupt the actually content. One of the best things about Adrian Chiles leaving the BBC (because you know he would have been presenting this had he not) is that Dara seems to be filling all the slots he used to (except maybe Christine  ). I can only hope this means that Dara will be presenting the Olympics in 2012.

Royality posted:Haha, no chance. The man is not goon material. Yeah, no way he's a goon. I'd watch anything he did to be honest, he just presents the material in an engaging fashion, and while I've been interested in the stuff he's done so far I'd probably give anything a go if he was presenting it.

DaWolfey posted:Anyone watching David Walliams' Awfully Good? I turned on about halfway through and caught a clip of some TV call in gameshow I remember used to take over every channel a few years back. The presenter was revealing the 'answers' to the clue 'hand' and each one could earn the caller money. The answers were things like 'handan' and 'handcuff bracelet chain' and and 'handsome dog you've got there, Barry' and 'handover fist, blinf blang bloop' and other seemingly made up phrases. If anyone knows how to locate this on youtube, I would be pleased.

BizarroAzrael posted:You've listened to Infinite Monkey Cage on Radio 4 right? Brian Cox pairs with Robin Ince there, and they get some good guests on. Doesn't seem to be any on iPlayer right now, but they podcast it so you can just add it to your RSS feed or iTunes. The best episode ever was when they had Paul Foot on, being himself to a ludicrous degree.

The only comedians it is acceptable to like are Stewart Lee, and anyone that Stewart Lee says are good. (If this is your opinion then you are a oval office, btw.)

Oh man, watching Big Fat Quiz of the Year right now and it really is not so good. The lineup is far more irritating this year and it just seems riddled with very predictable stuff. Shame.

Shame. Yeah, I watched that tonight too. Ruth Jones literally speaks for perhaps a minute total in the entire show. And it's not a good minute. Noel and Richard seemed to just be phoning it in. Louis Spence was probably the best thing about the whole show

BizarroAzrael posted:10 O'Clock Live trailer I went to the unbroadcast pilot they did before xmas. Suffered a bit from the fact that cast, crew and audience knew it was completely fake and never going to see the light of day. Jimmy Carr seemed to get a bit pissed off when jokes didn't get him a huge round of adulation, Brooker was uncomfortable-looking even on fake live TV. David Mitchell by far and away the sharpest wit on the panel and managing a decent chairing of a debate about data security and Wikileaks. Lauren Laverne... I suppose they had to have a girl to make it less like a sort of lefty news Top Gear.

Big Fat Quiz was my first experience of Richard Ayoade outside of IT Crowd and I've got to say that I didn't care for it. Oh my loving God it doesn't get funnier and funnier the more you do that "I'm going to pretend I don't know the answer and write down whatever random butterfly roundabout jellyfish in a purple tinted turtleneck bullshit pops into my oh-so-precious head" shut up shut up SHUT UP and yeah, just to prove I'm not biased: The rest of it was poo poo, too. I only got to March so maybe it got amazing after that, I don't know. Adrianics fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Jan 6, 2011 |
