They're taking Peep Show off the US Netflix instant on the 15th.  Luckily it's short enough to get a full watch in before then at least.

Finally got round to watching the Anniversary Big Fat Quiz. Think it might have been my favourite so far. Russel Brand was great, and so were Jack Whitehall and Jonathon Ross. Really, they're my three favourite for Big Fat Quiz. Was just missing Richard Ayoade really. Warwick Davis was great as well, hope he does it again. Also the Dalek was almost as good as Mr. Blobby. Almost.

The Big Taff Man posted:I cant loving stand Warwick Davis, he comes off as so fake and fame hungry It's weird what's happened to him in the last 4 years or so. I can't tell if it's come from him or if cunts like Ricky Gervais just do that to people. He contributed less than nothing to that quiz though.

When one immerses themselves in a persona so completely that it starts to become their actual personality, it is known at "the gervais effect"

Watching the new Last Leg, Hillsy was very anti terrorist in the wake of the Charlie thing, but I kind of expected him to call the cartoonists dicks to some extent because of the content of the magazine itself. Still only halfway through however and Dara O'briein has essentially made my point.

Harry Hill is back on ITV with a new version of Stars In Their Eyes, with Matthew Kelly making a guest appearance in a sketch, so I assume it's not sticking closely to the 90s format.

To be honest, given the poo poo little people have to put up with when it comes to anything related to show business, I really couldn't hold it against him to self-promote himself into jobs with a semblance of dignity attached to them. He's got kids to feed. A;so, gently caress Harry Hill. He is not and never was funny. He's a cock in a clownsuit, there for the braying masses to gawp and gurn at while they shovel re-heated Iceland horsepies into their mouths, watching Saturday night ITV. Like cunts.

I saw Matthew Kelly as Pozzo in Waiting for Godot with Ian McKellen and not-Patrick-Stewart. It provided a very strange moment of 'wait, THAT Matthew Kelly?'. 'Tonight, Didi, I'm going to be a metaphor for the ineffability of fate'.

The first person on Stars In Their Eyes said "tonight Mathew" instead of "tonight Harry." Genuinely made me laugh. The rest of the show was as immature as TV Burps but it was mildly entertaining.

Harry Hills Stars in their Eyes was an awkward confused mashing together of serious talent show and Harry Hill TV Burp style comedy, a clash of formats that just did not work at all. ITV are dumb.

Paladinus posted:To be fair, I didn't find the original too good either. I guess you have to be drunk yourself to fully enjoy it. The original full show could be hit and miss. But when it worked (Basically the right combination of speaker and drunkeness) it was hilarious. Plus the performances usually helped too. It's such a simple thing to do that I can't believe someone could gently caress it up.

Everyone in this thread should track it down. True anarchy in TV form. Like, it's as close to "Give him a tiny budget and a dead slot, and ask him to fill it somehow". Like getting his celebrity guests legit HAMMERED (he manages to talk Ray Winstone into giving him a full-force punch to the jaw).

He gets bladdered, theres no semblence of a set, but its bizarely watchable Its called "Whos ready for ice cream" and features some weird scripted side bits, the point being that Vegas has become lazy since being on TV and has to go back to the edinburgh festival to do a show. The show itself is almost classed as an extra.

I watched Iain Stewart's Earth series. I can't stand his face or voice; he reminds me of Wormtail from Harry Poter. And the program Basically I want those 5 hours back. Also I tried to watch How Not to Live Your Life and had to cut loose after 5 minutes. Josh Lyman fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Jan 11, 2015 |

I saw the comedy sketch where he's plays the phone call between him and JJ where Warick loses his mind at being given a chance and tries to keep his cool. For him, this will make sure him and his family are set for life and more. The other big name actors are just "Yeah, I'd love to have one more chance to play this role" but for Davis he's securing his financial security.

For what its worth, I thought the second and third series of that were much better, primarily because they god rid of the awful hollyoaks actress from the first series. I may just have terrible taste though.
