How do you become a continuity announcer? I've always wondered this. And how does it work? you just sit in a booth watching TV with a mic? I used to think it was all prerecorded, but sometimes they make little comments about stuff that, for example, happened at the end of the simpsons, or a "hmmmm" at the end of CSI or something. Edit: vvvv Shush you! I just want to believe that there is a job, that real people can do, which consists of sitting in a booth watching TV and saying 5 second links every 30 minutes

Inbetweeners on monday. I can barely contain my excitement. I need it in my life. Anyone know how long this season is running for? standard 6 eps? Quite enjoying Grandma's house now, was a little leery of the first few episodes, but it's a nice way to kill 30 minutes

7seven7 posted:So there's new Inbetweeners on tonight. Anyone else counting down the hours? My girlfriend wanted to watch it, but she's working while it's on. How long does it take 4oD to put things online? they're usually pretty good, as a rule the more popular shows are put up faster than others. But it depends, I've caught stuff 15 mins after it went off, and I've had to wait til the next day to watch other stuff. Easier to record it tho if you can.

justcola posted:Finished watching the first Stephen Hawking's Universe, it's good. I was expecting something like a documentary about the history of the universe but instead it's an hour of speculation about aliens and next week is about time travel. And Benedict Cumberbatch does the voice of Stephen Hawking. Yeah, I enjoyed it too. Wasn't what I was expecting, but it was an hour of Stephen Hawking talking about aliens. Quality programming

Akuma posted:I know what you mean, but since I've never eaten a big chunk of Mary Jane, or known anyone that has, it didn't bother me as much. They really should have shown some restraint and not had the crazy arm flailing stuff, though. Him babbling about being in a bubble is enough. I think the joke was "Will is a spaz" not "eating a bit of weed will give you the flailies". Episode ruled, doesn't matter that wills reaction was over the top, it was still funny! Edit: Simon and Jay's reactions were fairly realistic, like some of my friends the first time they smoked

I'll watch it again but i only laughed at the kitt sketch last night. shock humour's just a bit poo poo i guess? edit: actually that loose women Iran was pretty good, yeah

I'm not a big fan of Merton or Hislop, but they do provide a base level of comedy and they're basically just secondary/tertiary hosts. No belly laughs, but, you know, it'd be worse without them.

Carpet posted:That Panorama (about supermarket food), which I had on in the background while wrapping presents, was distracting because they kept using that whoosh sound effect from the final Icon of Sin level in Doom 2 (according to the Doom Wikia site the catchily named "Disc 6015, track 28-1: Fire,Ball - Impact and large fire burst, rumble"). This poo poo happens all the time, I remember was it Top Gear that had some music from command and conquer? Do they just have a database with EVERY NOISE ON MEDIA neatly tagged so they can find what they're looking for? Or are the FX guys just massive nerds who have an encyclopaedic knowledge of game noises.

Just caught buzzcocks- it's always at it's best when stuff goes a bit wrong (or at least appears to) and I enjoy Fieldings weird. Don't really watch it anymore, but that was a funny episode, kept me laughing and killed 30 mins. Edit: definately think the show's on its arse at the moment, but I reckon if they got a good permanent host and maybe revamped some of the games it could be the highlight of the week for me like it used to.

Good suggestions, guys, I've seen burnistoun and Limmy's show, they're both great, but I've only seen one or two episodes of both. I don't get the hate for Mitchell and Webb look, but it strikes a particular chord with me, I certainly laugh more at it than my friends. Watched about half of that panorama special but got too depressed to carry on and decided to watch some It's always sunny in philadelphia. The child begging thing happens all over the world, was reading an article on Chinasmack before about how tens of thousands of kids are kidnapped and sold into slavery begging on the street every year. Edit: I agree, it is grim, wasn't trying to say "oh thats just the way it is quit moaning".

I can't speak for the thread at large, but I've been enjoying it. Watching it with my mate every week over a few spliffs, few belly laughs, but I like it. It's on my weekly rotation of shows for sure, but I guess the next episode is the last, what with British TV being poo poo.

We all sat through it, and nothing could be worse. Back to Earth was better than Season 8. Edit 2: Can anyone explain why they decided to write the Red Dwarf out of the show?

Taear posted:Series 8 is pretty good. Series 7 is the poo poo one. At least series 8 has all the characters in. I find if you watch it on the DVD instead of having it split up into two then three seperate episodes it's a lot funnier. Plus Series 8 had "HAVE A GREAT PERIOD" in it. Meanwhile Back to Earth was a bizzare Blade Runner parody decades too late. Not that it didn't have a few laughs in it but generally it felt like an awkward version of the League of Gentlemen film, and that was awkward enough. It's been a while, I initially wrote series 7 but then changed it to 8 because I've not quite got the memory for Red Dwarf I thought I had! I got that moving the cast to Starbug was to give them a purpose and introduce some dynamic scenery, but I don't think it really worked. They were already chasing earth, and with the Dwarf they had BOTH a labyrinthine space hulk with heaven knows how many secrets to uncover, AND Starbugs. I just dont get how such bad decisions were made by people who get paid to do this kind of stuff. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed most every episode up to around S7, but it always seemed that the show worked in spite of the sets, forced drama, and weird behind-the-scenes decisions, rather than because of them.

I'm okay with new Brooker. The guy still has stuff to say, except now people will let him on TV to say it. Surely that's a good thing, right? Newswipe and Screenwipe rule, but I've enjoyed some of his new stuff a lot too. That How TV Ruined Your Life was pretty good. He's more mellow, but we'll see tonight if he still has his edge. to add to the Mitchell discussion, whatever happened to the Bubble? I loved that program, did it get cancelled? I remember there was a guy who uploaded them all to youtube, does anyone have the link? it was something like "The Ball of Air".
