Him trying to pick up a woman by talking about Stalingrad in Peep Show was probably entirely ad-libbed.

For better or worse, I'm watching this Cyberbully thing with Maisie Williams, so far it's pretty insipid stuff, and one teen just referred to another as "hack-man". :munch:

I'm watching it too, due to my well-known taste for trash, and yeah, it's pretty awful. It's a shame, because Maisie Williams is WAY better than this.

I've watched Bullseye the last two nights. I was expecting it to be laughably bad, which some of it (the prizes) is, but it's quite nice to see a gameshow host that's actually friendly and that people are happy to take home only a few hundred pounds and a fridge.

I have a confession. I have been watching Celebrity Big Brother. Something I have never done ever. I can't stop. It's sort of like The Apprentice. I must see these horrible people bicker, argue and suffer.

Perez Hilton is possibly the most revolting person alive. His shameless and transparent narcissism has resulted in a personal moral dilemma. I now have no option but to support Katie Hopkins, someone who I utterly detest, because she puts him in his place without breaking a sweat. This is the power of television. Congratulations to Channel 5 for destroying my reality. I hope he gets evicted to the sun so I can go back to hissing at her.

I've been watching it a bit and also found it very confusing and strange that Katie loving Hopkins is some sort of voice of reason in there half the time. I don't know why Perez is always getting morally outraged over stuff considering the poo poo he's done to people as well, what a plonker

I came downstairs to make a coffee and overheard everyone ripping into him for asking her why she was a homewrecker and if she apologised and I found it really weird how everyone was acting as if he was out of order for talking about ashitty thing she did. One of the lovely things she did.

It is a bit out of order though isn't it, to suddenly start attacking someone for no reason for doing morally bad things when he has done much worse

I like how dreadfully unlikeable and selfish they are, like most 20 year olds in real life. I also like how they're unafraid to make Josie the worst out of them all. In most normal comedy shows of this type she'd be the delightful lead girl that's always the voice of reason and sanity. It's much more amusing to have her be such a dreadful person.

I also love Greg McHugh as Howard. He's such a delightful character actor.

I've only seen the first two seasons of Fresh Meat, but it was great.

I had to stop watching it because it's ridiculously depressing to watch when you're not a student anymore. Even if Jack Whitehall is in his 40s.

Is anyone excited for the forthcoming BBC Wolf Hall adaptation? I keep noticing more famous actors but I still just see a super long re-enactment from an old history doc.

Based mainly on the recommendations of this thread, I finally watched Toast of London. Very glad I did - excellent stuff. Only seen the first season, so hoping the second is just as good.

Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".
The Daily Mail has suggested that Wolf Hall could be 'the greatest period drama ever made'

Also, the women are:
1. A girl who just got out of prison on a technicality (she murdered someone) where she was secretly pregnant with the brother's baby.
2. The brother's girlfriend, who is married to the brother's Dad and just had his Dad's :downs: baby.
3. The brother's twin sister, who the brother had accidentally had a daughter with when they were young. She's bat-poo poo crazy and had her brother handcuffed to a radiator for the last month.
