Just a reminder that the final episode of Psychovile is tonight at 10pm, not the usual day.

All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace is thoroughly depressing tonight. Genocide, humans as machines, the racism of 1960s' newscasters and the chilling callousness of big business, all wrapped up in one beautifully presented documentary Edit: Okay, things just got cheered up by a Richard Dawkins/Donna Summer mashup.

Psychoville's ending was pretty underwhelming, although it was surprising that Kerry turned up and saved the day despite only being present for one scene this series. It wasn't a bad ending, it just wasn't dramatic enough to solicit to the deaths of most of the main cast.

Oh my god, the Psychoville finale. So absurd, yet so brilliant. I loved Mrs Ladybird-Face. Wish we could have had more episodes, though. There were a few characters and ideas that weren't given as much time as they deserved. Hattie especially seemed wasted in that ultimately, she had hardly any connection to the overall plot at all. But still, what we got was fantastic. If you haven't seen Psychoville already, you need to now. EDIT: Although I agree with the person who posted above me, the final plot twist was nowhere near as exciting as the one at the end of the first series.

Yeah, it felt kinda like the TrueBlood ending, building and building to something gre----and then flatlining. Are they bringing it back for a third series? It didn't seem to have as much of a hook as the last one. I'm also a bit disappointed about the Librarian's ending, was hoping we'd get a bit more silent singer.

There was also the interesting moment where Grace Andrews spoke in Russian(?) to Mrs Ladybirdface, who nodded back. They've definitely put a few plothooks in place for a third series, if they feel like writing one.

I want a programme of Jelly and Mrs Ladybird doing Louis Theroux style documentaries, they're an amazing double act.

Between Comedy Vehicle, All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace and the various Charlie Brooker vehicles, TV seems to be egging (egg egg like a birds egg) me on to commit suicide.  I really should watch some cheery programming.

Try Geordie Shore or The Only Way Is Essex. It won't make you happier, but it'll transfer that desire to end lives outward and away from you. Also I hope that people here will be watching Chris Lilley's Angry Boys at 22:40 tonight on BBC3. His last two shows, We Can Be Heroes and Summer Heights High were very funny stuff with sharply-observed and occasionally monstrous characters. I'm a little biased towards Summer Heights High because I lived in Australia during high school, but both are very amusing, so I'm really looking forward to Angry Boys.

Akuma posted:Holy poo poo I had no idea that show existed. Thanks! Summer Heights High is one of my favourite series ever. Poor Jonah Jonah was hilarious ("Puck you, miss! I said puck you, with a P! Don't you know how to spell or some poo poo?"), it's sort a shame that he isn't returning for Angry Boys, because he'd fit right in, but it's also good that Chris isn't relying too heavily on a cast of returning characters beyond the twins from We Can Be Heroes. Summer Heights High was fantastic stuff, and very relatable. One of my teachers in school out there was basically a female Mr G (drama types...), and the Ja'mie character was so utterly true of the private school girl out there, and probably anywhere in the world. Also he's a disturbingly convincing female in the same way that Queen are in the I Want To Break Free video (especially Roger Taylor. Yikes).

I've watched a couple of episodes of Angry Boys and I haven't found it that funny so far. I'll give it a few more episodes but I'm not sure, t'other half isn't so keen either.

Awesome, Jim Royle vs Pauline Campbell-Jones on 4 right now. Its a bit low hanging fruit picking on the scousers, but I'm spoiled for choice who to hate more. Pauline on tape recorder" You work shy set of bastards!" Ross" That was your workshop on self esteem." "We're all in the same boat. Well, I'm not. I've got a job" e: Oh no it it actually the job interview role play bit. Countdown to egregious. Trickjaw fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jun 7, 2011 |

I just tuned into it on 4+1 to see her getting utterly dingied by everyone. She reminds me of every ignorant, pretentious moron that I spoke to in the job centre when i was signing on. edit: So, basically they're getting rejected for not having appropriate experience in the fields they've been pushed to applying and 2 of the companies seemed to take on the inexperienced ones a little reluctantly. Hah, and that little montage of "4 months later" just made the entire show redundant.

Still, if I met that fucker in the street I would throttle her with one of her scarves that she seems to think are flab cloaking devices. Turn up at my door with fish and chips, you oval office.

I did like it but it all felt a bit rushed and perculiar at the end. I understand that Karen's motivation was "You killed my boyfriend" but how did she know who did it or where to go? And yea both Hattie and David were almost totally unconnected to the main story but the end did imply that David's going to be the main theme of series 3.

It seems they go out of their way to find people like the Ricky Tomlinson lookalike who are living caricatures of unemployed people of the kind that are painted by the Daily Mail. I mean the guy actually says when he's stropping off from the car wash that being a Scouser is his reason for not working. The more I look at her the more I wonder if Hayley is actually Jeremy Kyle in drag.

Honestly, I took that as an ending. That said, I also took the burning down of the village shop (and apparent deaths of Tubbs and Edwards) and the resolution of the Special Stuff plotline in League of Gentlemen series 2 as an ending, and I was wrong there.
