I don't know a lot about Liberal Party leaders from the 1970s (the big fat one turned out to be a child molester, didn't he?) but I'd been under the impression that Thorpe had a kind of predatory, sometimes even abusive relationship with his boyfriend. Did the programme shy away from that or did it engage with it?

Cerv posted:the shift in the last scene when Thorpe starts talking murder suggests that eps 2 & 3 won't be so whimsical He always appears to be slowly morphing into Stephen Rhea. Unless Stephen Rhea is also in it, and I've just got muddled on the posters.

I thought Grant was great in it. Between this and PADDINGTON 2 (Which he's having a total blast in), he's having a good year.

They're nice silly family films. Also I love Carnage. It's Robot Wars with cars. Between that and Revolution, Sky are very much into getting crazy people to risk life and limb to make some excellent daft telly recently.

Car Share is a goddamn gem. What a wonderful show and I don't even like sappy shows like this but the way it's filmed and the way it uses music to tell stories is incredible.

Fatty posted:I'm quite enjoying Jon Richardsons Ultimate Worrier on Dave. Its a bit like Room 101, but with actual decent guests who are capable of stringing a joke together. Yeah, I’m enjoying it as well, I also really liked the Horne Section Television Programme, which was like a 70s variety show with modern comedy sensibilities, and was much better than that sounds. Dave are really knocking it out of the park recently.

I caught about 30 seconds of the new rolling ball "quiz" thing while in the gym and I think it's probably the worst format idea I've ever seen (yes, even worse than Tipping Point).

Yeah, Dave has a nice 90s BBC2 vibe to it these days. We need a channel that can mimic 90s Channel 4 and we're golden.

I was a bit apprehensive of the lineup of the latest Taskmaster season but thankfully I'm enjoying it a lot and everyone on there is great. I'm not a massive fan of Russell Howard but I also don't get a lot of the hate directed towards him either and he seems like he's having fun on Taskmaster. Tim Vine is brilliant, Alice Levine is really cool and I'm pleasantly surprised at how funny both Liza Tarbuck and Asim Chaudhry are. Also I'm loving that the series is 10 episodes now.

Alice Levine is really It's not that anything is especially wrong with him, but that he got on TV on the back of being young and moderately handsome rather than due to talent, and then got exponentially more famous and successful still off of that. The BBC tend to pick a small set of comedians and put them on everything, and they then get to play massive gigs to people who know them from TV. Alice is wasted on the radio that's for sure.
