Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted May 10 Paid Members Share Posted May 10 Tim is a bit of a knob at times but pales in comparison to his US counterpart who is a massive cunt. Still my favourite sitcom of all time. "I like blacks" is one of the greatest line deliveries of all time from a character who I don't think had ever spoke previously.

Factotum Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Turns out Finchy has been cast as Galactus in the new Fantastic Four film. Better throw Silver Surfer over a pub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Probably been posted but just in case it hasn't. A new Sky channel. Might be worth keeping an eye on. https://www.rewindtv.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted May 17 Paid Members Share Posted May 17 I watched Taskmaster being filmed earlier this week. I think it will be a great lineup now that I’ve seen an episode, but I’ll confess to only knowing two of them when the recording started! Just to whet your appetite the house (and presumably season overall) has its own theme which I think is the first time they’ve done that. And the team task in the episode I watched was… (minor spoilers detailing a specific task) Spoiler a pub quiz where they have to cheat as many times as possible without getting caught, sooooo funny Other things to mention - The set is ridiculously small. I was shocked, it looks pretty big on TV but man it’s tiny. TV magic was in full flow - at the end of the show Greg Davies and Alex redid loads of their lines, speaking to empty chairs as the contestants had already left the studio. Oh and Greg has lost a load of weight It was a really good (and free!) trip out if you want to try and get tickets yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Binged through The 8 Show on Netflix yesterday and have to say I really enjoyed it. Its a cross between Big Brother and Squid Game, the actors play their roles extremely well and I could see myself rewatching it again.

Thanks for alerting me to this, it sounds like absolutely something me and 17yo will like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 The reboot or whatever it is of Rebus is off to a strong start, another gritty cop show but the BBC have been nailing it with these recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted May 24 Paid Members Share Posted May 24 The current series of Taskmaster has been very good again. Nick Mohammed is dressed as a vampire for all the non studio tasks, with no explanation so far 9 episodes in. The really clever thing is that they have blanked out his reflection. In one of the earlier episodes there was a big puddle that they blanked him out of and in last night's task there were mirrors that again reflected the room and not him. That's what makes Taskmaster top tier silly entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 For whatever reason I only started watching Taskmaster last year, but it does mean I've had the pleasure of catching up on many many series. And while I always enjoy seeing the ones I'm already a fan of, it's a great way of finding new people to watch as well. Just silly fun.

Merzbow Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) More Copaganda (although far more damning of the police) the second season of The Responder is excellent, Martin Freeman has never been better. Seems to have split the fan base by being far darker than the first but it's part of why I love it. Starting Tokyo Vice and it's solid so far, yetit does fall into the cliches you'd expect from a Western TV show about Japan.

DavidB6937 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I really enjoy Martin Freeman in pretty much anything. Really versatile. Unless he's doing an American accent and then I just can't get on with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 We threw the godawful 'Buying London' on, on account of the fascinating zero stars reviews it was getting. I've never seen Selling Sunset or any of those sort of shows, but this clustershit is driving me into the hands of the socialists and communists. An absolutely obscene amount of wealth, spaffed up the (diamond encrusted) wall in a city with so much deprivation. Rage inducing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
