reality_groove posted:Just to update on Todd Margaret which was mentioned a few pages pack, it should be surfacing on More4 pretty soon, so keep an eye out for it. Watched the Pilot when they made that, don't bother. Just go watch Green Wing. It's not to say there wasn't a couple of funny moments, but all of them could have been in Green Wing. You had the wacky superior character, the womanizing old hand, the naive frumpy new girl, the zany personnel staff and it's basically Green Wing in a different setting.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad posted:So I've not seen anything about Campus other than the ads, it's made by the same team that did Green Wing and starts later this week on Channel 4, so should be worth a look. I'm all excited about it because I loved me some Green Wing. You're in luck then, if the pilot's anything to go by, it's exactly the same as it. Down to the sleazy character going after the klutzy new staff member, the wacky support staff and the insane boss. Like...this could easily be another series of Green Wing. But that's just what I got from the pilot.

Mickolution posted:Don't watch it regularly enough to comment, but some of the (I think) new ones are unbearable. The Irish guy and the weird looking one with the glasses especially. Eggheads is pretty much nightly dinner viewing in student life in my house. Eggheads Chat Kevin - Is a robot. Utterly humourless. Reports of him making a joke and smiling are unsubstantiated. Weaknesses: Food & Drink. Has never lost a History round. Daphne - Like your kindly old grandmother, if she knew everything. Cheerily doddery. Has a love-hate relationship with CJ. Weaknesses: Any music questions beyond the 1980's. Ditto with Film & Television. CJ - Smug know it all arsehead. Gay. Marathon-runner. Probably the most expressive out of all of them, and the one who loses the most. Jeremy Vine loving hates him. Weaknesses: Sport, Geography. Chris - The smuggest. Confidently blurts out answers with total conviction, even when they're wrong. Fat. Terrible singer and impressionist, but tries anyway, bless 'im. Weaknesses: Geography, sometimes Music. Judith - Epitome of old Tory rich lady. Really rather posh. Doesn't keep up with sport except, predictably, horse racing. She was the first person to win the million on Who Wants to be a Millionaire UK. Weaknesses: Sport, Science. Barry - Cheerfully awkward loser. Doesn't seem like he's playing with a full hand, if you catch my drift. Him and Daphne seem like the most genuinely likable Eggheads. Weaknesses: Some Music, some Film & TV, bit patchy all round. Pat - Irish, and somehow more robotic than Kevin. Also fat. Probably the best Egghead after Kevin, but somehow with even less personality. Has also won Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Weaknesses: ???? (I don't pay enough attention to know them.  Eggheads.

I don't get why they got so huffy, and why it's a 'crass little incident' (and my lord that is one pompous phrase), he just seems to needle them a bit, a few pops that are pretty much bait for making an interviewee seem self-deprecating and down to earth, and they throw a hissy. He didn't say anything all that bad.

How any of the other guests managed to restrain themselves from dropping zingers like "You think I'm a bad host? Well, at least there's no-one being raped to death upstairs." is beyond me. When he was on Coach Trip, a few people did make a couple of swimming pool jokes at his expense. Oh Brendan.

Irisi posted:He was pretty good in Fresh Meat too. The scene where he's having a horrible acid trip and has a complete breakdown over a horse he believes is his dead dad was equally funny and weirdly touching. Speaking of Fresh Meat, it's back soonish and I just caught up with it over summer, and was really pleasantly surprised. It wasn't that it was completely hilarious and amazing, because it wasn't actually that funny, but I actually found myself caring about the characters by the series end, and the finale is a lovely emotionally warm bubble. I'll definitely be watching series 2.

Rolled Cabbage posted:A few pages back, but I know Lois and no she's not fed those lines or an actor or anything like that (actually I think the implication is a bit mean). I don't think it's anything personal but sometimes it does seem like it's a staple thing to 'go over to Lois/Theopia, she says something wacky, we move on'. It's so regular it kinda stops seeming spontaneous. I think that comment is more to the detriment of the show than the person.

StrawmanUK posted:Aha, Glastonbury is actually loving awesome and one of the best weekends its possible to have. I honestly pity folk who get the wrong impression from the TV coverage. I hardly ever go to the main stages aa theres just so much better entertainment on offer. Then again, please carry on hating as it means less competition for tickets! I really enjoyed it when I went but was shocked when I came back, watched a couple of great sets I was actually at and they looked like crap on the coverage. I don't know what it is, the sound mixing probably. In other news I asked in here about advice on working in TV and the BBC Talent Pool and some guys gave me some very realistic advice. I did take that on board, but I'm still going to try and get some work. After all, if I never try it I won't know if I like it or not. I got on the BBC's Talent Pool and am fostering some contacts (it's who you know, yadda yadda) and we'll see what else. mfcrocker also advised that Bristol's St. George is a shithole.

radioaktivitat posted:I'm looking forward to Wolf Hall although I'm a bit confused about how they're going to get round the fact that the third book hasn't been published (finished?) yet. Or is this an adaptation of Wolf Hall as in the first book of the trilogy, rather than Wolf Hall the trilogy? It's just a six episode adaptation of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. There's room left for another series when the third book comes out I believe.

Anton Lesser, mostly found on radio, stage, and bits and pieces on TV (Game of Thrones, Ripper Street). Fun fact, his daughter played Princess Mary. I worked on Wolf Hall as a runner over the summer so I'm glad to see a few people enjoying it here!

He shouts for his sword, which is already in his hand, and she gasps and turns her head towards the noise in a panic, but he's already spun silently on his heel to her right, where her neck is completely exposed and... During filming he was doing all this flouncy ninja poo poo and muttering that was absolutely ridiculous to watch. The higher-ups would watch the rushes and snigger. They edited it marvelously to hide all that.

Trickjaw posted:Right, who allowed Jack Whitehall to make a film? They fired the camera crew from that as scapegoats for everything taking too long. Following that the production hired extra security for Whitehall in case of vengeful camera bods. Lot of problems with BBC3 producers expecting their feature film to be exactly the same as their small-scale studio comedy.

The Terror starts on BBC2 this Wednesday night at 9pm. This show aired on AMC in the states and BT TV (??) over here way back in 2018. Presumably due to a lack of programming lined up the Beeb have bought it and are popping the whole first series onto iPlayer this Wednesday too. It's a survival horror show about the lost Franklin expedition, based on Dan Simmons novel. The real expedition vanished attempting to find the Northwest Passafe through the Canadian archipelago in the 1840s. Simmons novel and the show fictionalise the story of the men on the ships, while adding in a creature inspired by Inuit mythology for a genre twist. If you didn't catch it first time round, I'd hugely recommend it. It's got wonderful dialogue, an excellent atmosphere and the music is killer. Lots of top British talent, and I was surprised it got sent into the TV badlands when it first aired, but I'm glad it's getting another go round now. Big recommendation.

Testro posted:Yeah, same - part way through the third episode I thought it was going to be 6 parter and I'd jumped on it too soon, and would have to watch the rest unfold weekly instead of binge-watching. I worked on that show! Really tough to make during covid (shot from October to December last year) and we were holed up in Shrewsbury when the second lockdown came into effect. Wake up, film at the prison, £3 tesco meal deal for dinner in the hotel room you can barely leave, rinse, repeat. Really gratifying to see it being recieved so well. The show nearly went down in the first week due to a covid scare, I think the director spoke about it in an interview. 5 days into the shoot a bunch of cast (including SB) had to self isolate after an extra tested positive. Nearly took the whole production down before we reconfigured and shot a ton of Stephen Graham's story ahead of schedule. By the end of the isolation they had to do we were really running out of stuff to film.
