I pity anyone outside the UK seeing Jeremy Kyle. It is like some twisted 21st century freak show from the horrors of the latest idiots to the gurning taunting audiance and Kyle himself the twisted Ringmaster of it all. I don't need to self hate my class anymore than possible but the show really doesn't help.

Adrianics posted:Chris Moyles, Jack Whitehall and Patrick Kielty together in any context is not good unless it is "the following people are on fire". I second this opinion. Hard. But yeah, I think we all do that when we bad mouth the poo poo out of somebody we barely know and then suddenly we meet then and they aren't that bad. It really makes you feel low. I've still got my fingers crossed that Brooker might do a few more documentaries about Gaming.

They should just have a TV show where they give Dara a crate of beer, 48 hours and a modern game and demand him to complete it anyway possible. That'd be entertaining.

Which is why the premise would be utterly hilarious, I want to hear the confused drunken ramblings of a Irishman wondering who the hell are half the bands in Rock Bands or Guitar Hero now trying to work for a song he knows and wants to play.

I got three quarters of the way through it before I was interrupted and he still hadn't set sail and I'm pretty sure he had destroyed his marriage and spent all his money. Remember when that show was about a frustrated middle aged dentist having a mid life crisis?

Do we have to do equally awful adaptions of American TV to get the message across now? How can we make a terrible British version of Breaking Bad or The Wire?

Aatrek posted:I just started Skins, and have a question about the educational system in the UK. I'm assuming these kids are in an equivalent to high school here in the US (usually, ages 15-18), but they say that they're in college? In the US, 'college' is just like 'university,' so I don't really understand the school they're at, I guess. Until recently you could leave school at sixteen, our colleges are government funded community college things. We have Universities which are more traditional hardcore education establishments like the US ones though. And no, none of my Community College Professors swore.

Aatrek posted:Oh, that's very different. We go to high school through age 18, generally, and then move on to higher education. If we go to college (aka 'uni'), it's usually a two to four year enrollment right after high school. Our Middle and High Schools are combined into a neat public school package of suffering and unhealthy school dinners know as Secondary School. Not sure how the private school system works.

FelchTragedy posted:There is an interview on Youtube with the witer Harlan Ellison back in the 70's where he praises British shows, but was shocked at the level of racism that Get Some In had. He was amazed at the use of the term "Chinky Bint". He said that the UK had some highs and lows but you only see the best stuff imported on PBS. He wrote books about TV called the Glass Teat and a sequel to that that people hail as really good and even prescient about the nature of TV. Double edged sword with our old telly, I swore it was cheeky when I heard said phrase due to the accents. I can't watch Love Thy Neighbor despite it being excellent because of the white neighbors racism makes me cringe.
