I actually quite liked the Phone Shop pilot when they did that pilot showcase thing a while back. Does this mean Todd Margaret is coming soon too?

Talking of that Derren brown Enigma show, did anyone notice that the guy reading out the random words said "purple", "monkey" and "dishwasher"? Internet things in real life!

lionlegs posted:The other great thing about the return of Adam and Joe is that it means Joe has finished his film! This looks really good. I've been loving these kind of council estate kind of films recently, I've seen Kidulthood, Adulthood, This Is England and Harry Brown. Can anyone recommend anything else along these lines?

Jesus this thread gets depressing every so often. I know its cliche to say it, but people obviously have different opinions on what is and isn't poo poo. I'm pretty surprised that people don't like Sean Lock, I've always found him to be really funny in everything I've seen him in, but hey ho. Anyway, I've been really enjoying Fresh Meat so far. While it isn't Peep Show quality, I do think there's a fair few bits that are brilliant. I love the running joke that Howard hasn't seen Lord of the Rings and is annoyed that everyone always assumes he likes it.

Holy poo poo, the comic timing in Fresh Meat tonight when Kingsley was having an emotional speech to JP before JP lands right on top of him off of a rock was fantastic. I actually had to rewind because I missed what they said afterward due to laughing.

I've just been catching up on Black Mirror and I thoroughly enjoyed all of them this series, although "enjoyed" might be the wrong word. I still don't think any of them topped The Entire History of You from the last series though. Anyway, did anyone catch that in The Waldo Moment, the Jason Flemying character was called Jack Napier - that was the joker's name in the Michael Keaton Batman film wasn't it? Also, it was apparently based on an idea for Nathan Barley? I wonder what that would have looked like.

Anyone been watching In The Flesh? For a BBC3 drama it was much better than I was expecting and the concept of a "previously deceased syndrome" returning to his militia loving village up north is pretty drat good. Plus a loving brutal scene at the end of the first episode.

Anybody been watching that Southcliffe on channel 4 then? Its about a spree shooting in a fictional village and I'm finding it to be a really well directed drama, though with a bit too many slow pans across moors and that sort of thing.

I remember being bemused that there was an actual Hugo game for PS1. A game based on a Saturday morning TV idea of what games are actually like. Just checking on Wikipedia, it seems there was a whole series of them! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_%28video_game%29 Regarding Southcliffe, I do need to catch up on last nights episode but I completely agree with Mr. Empty's analysis, putting my thoughts on it better than I could. People should watch that show, seriously.

Anyone here watch Rev.? New series starts this week. I recently got into in on DVD since the gf got the boxset, and I enjoyed it far more than I'd have thought I'd enjoy a gentleish sitcom about an inner city vicar. Tom Hollander is ace in it.

Bridget Christie is A) a Woman, B)Does stand up comedy, C) is funny and great and D) very hot. She flirted with me at a show she did a couple of weeks ago. Well, asked my name, so that's pretty much the same thing. Also she is married to Stewart Lee, which isnt important but kind of is, so I'll mention it.

Doesn't seem to be much chat about Babylon in here, which I find surprising. I really enjoyed the first couple of episodes, now that they seem to be linking some of the characters instead of it just being disparate arms of the met like it seemed in the pilot. I think that Phoneshop bloke is great as well.

Josh Lyman posted:Also I tried to watch How Not to Live Your Life and had to cut loose after 5 minutes. 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.

The worst was that loving Troll game on Live & Kicking. You had to say right, left, middle whatever to make the troll's minecart avoid stuff on the tracks. I remember getting really annoyed with the kids playing it who CLEARLY didn't know right from left and CLEARLY shouldnt have had a go. It was only later I realised there might have been a delay from them saying which way and the actual operator going that direction. Still, wound me up at the time. I was quite a tense child.

This Is England 90 was pretty enjoyable. Woody's phone call with his mum and dad felt like a lot of calls I've had with my parents. Everyone seems to be having too much of a good time so I'm sure some horrible poo poo will happen as the series goes on. Glad its back though.

I've recently been getting into Gary: Tank Commander as its on Netflix, and it's pretty good. I assume this was on BBC Scotland so that's why I never saw it when it came out? So it's weird to see Greg McHugh go from tanned, camp, cheerful Scot in that to dour, nerdy and slovenly Scot in Fresh Meat. Still, that's acting I suppose.

Not strictly TV programme related, but anyone else use the iPlayer app with Chromecast from their phone? It seems random for me whether I get the cast icon or not and I can't find any reference to the problem online. Stuff like Netflix works fine. Android on a Google Nexus 5x in case anyone else has a similar issue. Anyway, I'd rather have bake off chat than more robot bollocks, but I recognise that's because of my own innate hatred for engineering of any kind . And fun.

oceanside posted:Good shout, cheers. You've seen The Fall right? Other than that, I rewatched Jonathan Creek recently and enjoyed it even though it's pretty goofy. On the subject of cop shows though, I stumbled across Operation Good Guys a couple of years ago and that was pretty watchable. Not a drama though, more of a Office-esque comedy. Anyone remember that?

Browsing iPlayer the other day I saw they have made a Keeping Up Appearances prequel called Young Hyacinth and it reminded me that I believed that Richard from that show died falling out of a hot air balloon for years. No idea where I got that idea from.

A detective series based in Norwich called Swallow Swallow is a detective who tackles vandalism. Bit of a maverick, not afraid to break the law if he thinks it's necessary. He's not a criminal, you know, but he will, perhaps, travel 80mph on the motorway if, for example, he wants to get somewhere quickly.

I sat next to Jeremy Beadle on a plane to Ibiza when I was nine. He made me move out of the window seat because he wanted it. He didn't speak to me much and seemed kind of grumpy, but that might have been because I was staring at his weird little hand a fair bit.
