Looke posted:Good episode of Friday Night Dinner, felt like a set up to end the show. Really hope it isn't though. Simon Bird apparently let slip in an interview that he wasn't doing any more, prompting Robert Popper to say that "He gets to say when FND is done, and if he wants to do more, there will be more." That could possibly mean going forward without Adam, and i'm not sure that would really work within the family dynamic of the show.

Think Simon knows what flogging a dead horse looks like and doesn’t want to do it again

Yeah I liked the first for the most part, and I wasn’t the biggest fan of the show. We don’t talk about the second.

Funnily enough after watching the first movie, I came home and watched K&P. Even back then it didn’t hold up brilliantly, great loving soundtrack though. And the commentary was a good one, as you find out the clubs in Ibiza look so rough from the outside they had to make their own fascia for the movie.

Charlie B has said he's not working on any more Black Mirror and thinks any more is unlikely.

Other people are producing entire series that seem like extensions of his shows (Upload, Devs, there's even a Korean show on Netflix about AR set in Spain), he can just sit back and see where everyone else goes with it all now.

https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/black-mirror-charlie-brooker-annabel-jones-netflix-endemol-shine-group-1203478778/ Looks like it's the result of a three-way gone wrong (Brooker & Jones / Endemol / Netflix). Brooker & Jones have already setup a new company so I reckon we'll see Netflix fund a new Brooker project.

Antiviral Wipe was great, makes me miss the old Brooker!

I thought it was hilarious but depressing. Watching how it unfolded was infuriating. However, I had never seen that amazing Elton John clip before.

A man who looks like a prematurely aged TinTin after watching his dog drown. One of the greatest lines of all time.

I enjoyed the wipe but I feel like Cunk/Shitpeas going over stuff that's ridiculous but true came across weird this time. Probably because it's literally killing people right this moment, I dunno

# ? May 16, 2020 09:04 |

Yeah I hope the guy she interviewed was in on it or its just a cruel thing to be doing at the moment.

The Cunk interviews quite often leave me feeling a bit cold. It’s one thing to do the fake idiot interview thing if it’s Ali G wasting the time of some prick, but Cunk’s stuff is often some academic who’s probably all excited to get on the beeb to help drum up some funding for their field. Still, good to have Wipe back, hopefully there will be a few more now there’s noises that Black Mirror is done for now.

I always assumed that the Cunk interviewees were in on it from the start am I hopelessly naive?
|
# ? May 16, 2020 13:33 |
I mean I hope they are or they got a sense of humor and a fat stack. I am amazed the comedians that do them both aren't tired now, but then again stupid people are and endless goldmine. I hope the next Wipe is done when things are better.

I thought at first it was one of those interviews where they ask normal questions and then replace it with funny ones in the edit. But then he answered the spider question.

SeanBeansShako posted:I mean I hope they are or they got a sense of humor and a fat stack. Al Campbell (Shitpeas) is more known for being a writer and producer than being a comedian, the only thing he's really appeared on telly as, is in fact Barry. Obviously Diane Morgan is different but it was the Cunk character that gave the actress her big break.

I hope they consider doing more/giving it a go outside those two characters.

She used to do sketch comedy with Joe Wilkinson too. Also token northern voiceover work because that’s all people ever want from us lot.

Cerv posted:you'll be disappointed It's a horrible show. It was horrible in s1 as well, but with the suggestion of redemption at the end. But I watched the first one or two episodes of S2 and no, it's just him being a tremendous prick to everyone while the rest of the cast tell him how lovely he actually is again.

The only good thing about that Gervais show is the supporting cast and any scenes they have that don't include Gervais, but Morgan is barely even in it.

Maybe I'm not cynical enough and too generally naive, but I liked After Life alright. But it's definitely true that the supporting cast are much more watchable and sympathetic than Gervais' character. And it relies on people saying "oval office" who you wouldn't expect to say "oval office" a lot. But the ending scene of Series 2 where he nearly commits suicide with a bunch of sleeping pills that had been clumsily mentioned earlier in the same episode and nowhere else in the show was incredibly hamfisted Also liked the mini Phoneshop cast reunion. That show was great.

I never understood the nostalgia people had for Phoneshop. I remember sitting down to watch the first episode and wishing I’d drank bleach instead it was so bad. I’m sure it must’ve improved, but still.

Series 1 was better than Series 2 though, and he's on about doing a third, which would be a first for him. I agree it's the supporting cast that make the show, though. David Earl is a seriously underrated actor and it was nice to see Paul Kaye get to be even more vile in Series 2.
