Watching Mastermind, it's obviously acknowledged pro-strat to pick a sitcom, especially a British one. Small amount of total content, entertaining to revise, and a lot of answers are memorable punchlines. RIP Robot Wars.

That makes sense for most UK shows, though not so much for Peep Show given that it ran for 9 series.

Fawlty Towers would probably be the easiest one. Just watch all six hours of it as many times as possible in the month before your appearance.

Would questions necessarily need to only cover details seen on screen, though? It might delve into influences and other elements that would only come from a deeper interest in the show. Mum was really good this week, glad to see the arc moving on considerably before it started getting a bit tiring. Makes me really want to see next weeks for sure. It still makes me miss Grandmas House though.

Few weeks ago there was some discussion in the thread about Fist of Fun and how hard it was to get hold of a copy. The publishers have re-acquired the rights from the BBC, and so it's back on sale. http://www.gofasterstripe.com/fofdouble The moon on a stick versions with 2 discs' worth of extras are also elsewhere on the site...

It's a shame that TMWRNJ will never see the light of day  I know BBC employees have access to the full archive of shows though, I need to bribe someone I know with access, along with all the other BBC2 90s alt comedy stuff they just don't seem to care about.

I love Stewart Lee's standup but all the clips I've seen of Fist of Fun on youtube are a bit poo poo, and I don't find Richard Herring to be very good in general either

Some is great, some won't have aged well, a lot of it will be nostalgia for the 90s and if you don't like Herring's material (although they've both changed a lot since FoF days) you might not care for it too much. The Actor Kevin Eldon is of course brilliant all the way through, as is Peter Baynam.

Not really TV, but TV-adjacent. Saw a preview tonight for Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman’s Ghost Stories, the film adaptation of their play. Can confirm very good. Paul Whitehouse needs to be in more things, he has great acting chops.

Eldon's performances on FoF and TMWRNJ make me wish he'd been given his own show at the time instead of the incredibly disappointing one he had twenty years later. I could've watched an entire show of just Simon Quinlank, tbh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IRF4rIDhIQ

I'm surprised you like him on those but don't like It's Kevin. I felt it was really similar and it was a shame they didn't get more! And on Mastermind I remember when someone picked Red Dwarf and there was a lot of backstage stuff. Like anything about an episode I was great on but backstage for the most part I don't have a clue. I was surprised that it wasn't like that with Peep Show.

I seriously loved that show but am worried it won’t have aged well. Speaking of mastermind etc, game show questions are getting dumber right? I was watching some old Bullseye the other day and there were questions about Latin and the Roman Empire. It was pretty tough. When I caught some of Britain’s Smartest Family it was piss easy by comparison. Or I’m just a genius.

Yeah there’s definitely a few bits that won’t be that funny. I remember not caring hugely about some of the clips they’d do, too many episodes of the insect thing etc. I’ll still enjoy curious orange, the small faced intern, and Histor’s Eye though I’m sure. I’ll just have to stick to those low quality vhs rips that have been floating around the last 20 years.

In fairness, Britain's Smartest Family is a complete loving joke. My cousin and I smashed nearly every question on that show on Mothers Day, despite both of us being pissed and trying to entertain my two nieces.

I watched the worst Mastermind performance ever the other day on youtube, the person got 3 points in their specialist subject and 0 in general knowledge lmao and it was celebrity Mastermind which I'm pretty sure is easier than regular Mastermind

She picked Sex and the City (TV series only IIRC) as her specialist subject and got something ridiculous like 15, then lost anyway because her general knowledge was atrocious. e: checked wiki and apparently it was only one series of Sex and the City which is even more pathetic. They're clearly a lot more liberal with the categories on the celebrity version going by the article. Julio Cruz fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Mar 20, 2018 |

This Country was great. I loved Kerry and her double dinners, and the way she responded 'both?' to the old lady. There were quite a few sad moments this week, like Kurtan asking about the real world and listening so intently to the stories about Bristol.

I saw a trailer on the BBC earlier for The City & The City, an adaptation of China Miéville's novel. starring David Morrissey. Interestingly enough, I was literally thinking about that book this morning, pondering how unfilmable it'd be, unaware of this adaptation coming. Guess I was wrong!
