This actually reminds me of something I think I meant to ask one time but didn't because I was distracted by christ alone knows what. I've been vegetarian since I was ~9 and I don't think I've seen a vegetarian cooking programme on TV in my life. I mean you'd think with every loving channel devoting so much time to cookery programmes there'd be sufficient scope to specialize and show a veggie only programme. But no. Every programme has to have MEAT in the MAIN COURSE. EAT YOUR MEAT. And even when you do get to your pudding, there will be Clarissa Dickson-Wright slitting the throats of a dozen lambs and writhing around in their blood whilst masturbating herself into a trance and speaking in tongues to satan in front of the oven to make sure the souffle doesn't collapse. Dirty bastards.

Gorn Myson posted:I think they have different writers for each episode, which explains the weird drop in quality. The only part I liked in the last 2 episodes started the moment Will Mellor just said "gently caress it" and ran into the flat. Speaking of weird drops in quality, what the gently caress happens to a BBC show when they go from good cinematography to poo poo lighting, shakey cam and terrible shooting angles? I'm watching Hotel Babylon and the change from series 2-3 is night and day. It looks terrible and I guess it was a cost saving method or something, but it's really jarring to see the change from one episode to another.

I quite liked the first three episodes of Dates but I'm watching the one with the lesbians right now and the writing and acting are weirdly terrible, the whole feel to it is very stilted and odd. I actually really liked the lesbian one (nb. not a woman, not a lesbian) for that reason. Erika and Kate instantly have the hots for each other, but they're so angry about everything (Erika being unable to openly deal with being a lesbian, Kate seeing this as a straight up insult to her and other lesbians) and they just keep spitting at each other in between jumping each others bones. I really liked the outburst at the end, Kate seems the kind of person who'll just push and push someone to get a reaction, and then justify it as being for their own good. And then it ends with her leaving the phone on and it's just painfully contrived. The other episodes did this too, they all start off feeling really honest (Stephen having to deal with his past history with Mia, David being unable to move past Mia) and then they throw in some over-the-top sitcom ending and ruin the whole thing. Eps 1 and 2 I think were my favourites (5 would be the best if it ended with David telling Mia to get hosed and then just walking off, I'm a sucker for futile angry gestures) because they felt most comfortable with just being small vignettes, instead of trying to carve out an unrealistic story arc. Real dates don't have a three-act structure (unless you're into polyamory) and they shouldn't be trying to force these characters into it either.

I do wonder if people would still be watching Big Brother if Channel 4 had kept it, or if everyone would have lost interest anyway because we've already seen everything. We've seen it all.

I once spotted Helen from Big Brother in a branch of WHSmiths. Ten seconds later other people recognised her and started asking for autographs. That's the limit of my BB claim to 'fame'.

Someone from Channel 5 sent a 'call for talent' email to my department chairman (and presumably email-bombed other history departments likewise), saying that 5 wants to launch a new history TV series and needs a university lecturer to present it. The casting call paper is a bit on the amateur side in terms of graphic design to say the least; to paraphrase the flier, they're looking for someone who can make history as sexy for television as Prof Brian Cox has made science.

As poorly as the cattle call document is written and formatted, however, I suspect you could do up a PhD diploma in crayon and Comic Sans and lots of glitter for the person of your choice, and the Ch 5 bods would buy it as genuine. That said, as a devoted fan of World's Craziest Fools, I would spend forever watching a history program presented by Mr T.

And to be frank, even the McDownward Spiral pales in comparison to the deep-fried horrors that one encounteres inside the average Munchy Box, which is a pizza box filled with 4000 calories worth of deep-fried delights. £3.99 from your average West Coast takeaway, oh happy day.
