pittsburgh phil Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Bob Mortimer was tremendous on Taskmaster, tremendous on Would I Lie To You, and obviously with Vic Reeves. Not telly I know but he's upping the bar on the Athletico Mince podcast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Michael Palin in North Korea has been really interesting. Obviously what he's allowed to see/do is tightly controlled but found it fascinating all the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really disliked it. From the reviews, i see i'm in the minority, but it wasn't nearly as funny or clever as it thought it was. I watched the first two episodes and hated it. It was much too pleased with itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Episode 5 of Series 7 is the funniest thing I've seen on tv for a long time. I love this series. Up there with the best set of guests they've ever had. There is a wonderful relationship between the five of them. Rhod Gilbert's continued efforts to try and annoy Greg Davies are wonderful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 16 hours ago, Hampden Diehard said: Watching Mock the Week.....seriously unfunny and should be dumped. It's the sort of show I watch occasionally when I'm surfing iPlayer and have no expectation of laughing at any point during proceedings. It used to be interesting to hear Frankie Boyle say something outrageous while Russell Howard would fawn and blink and Andy Parsons would say obvious things in an unusual tone. Interesting that they shook things up by changing the theme tune, like that's what the problem with the show was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still watch the repeats on Dave when it was still reasonably funny. The most annoying thing though is when somebody makes a joke and Dara O'Brahoweverhespellshisname picks it up and batters it to death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d also have Frankie say something funny but brutal and have to try and follow up. Folk would go on once or twice and never return, now it’s much friendlier apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Watching Blues Brothers again for the first time for decades, thinking it would age really badly, it doesn't. Getting beaten by a nun in charge of an orphanage they used to attend gives a modern twist though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chest strutting swagger of the new bosses walking in reminds me now of Barry Ferguson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Watching Joanna Lumley's Silk Road, final episode, missed it the first time around, and she's brilliant at it. More of this kind of thing please Joanna and the BBC. Lovey as f**k but I think she's honest and sometimes very funny.
