Ira Gaines Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 LOVED season 4 of Fargo. I'll need to watch season 1 again because I think 4 might actually be better, which would be some achievement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Watched Raised by Wolves this week. It both delighted & annoyed me. The start/first half of the series was some good sci-fi stuff. But from about episode 7 onwards it's a total fucking mess of a show. Culminating in a final episode that is absolutely fucking stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Joe Swash on yet another "celebrity" version of a TV show. Honestly, is there anything this talentless whore won't do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate those celebrity versions, especially Eggheads and The Chase, where the programme employees actively try to stop the contestants winning even though it's for charidee. I'd love them to receive a letter saying, "Dear Eggheads - Congratulations on your win in tonight's show. We had hoped to buy a minibus with the £25,000 the contestants were playing for but that will no longer be possible. As such we will be unable to take the disabled children on outings to the country. Still, at least your reputation is intact." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, at least your reputation is intact." John Finnemore did a sketch about this on Radio 4. Can’t find a recording, but the transcript is below. Spoiler Charity gameshow (Phone ringing) Fiona: “Hello, clean water initiative UK?” Rawley: “Oh hi, Fiona?” Fiona: “Yes?” Rawley: “Hi, it’s Rawley from Boswell Productions, about ‘Celebrity If You Say So’?” Fiona: “Oh! Yes! Hello!” Rawley: “Hiya! So yeah just really calling to let you know, we recorded the show yesterday, it all went really really well...” Fiona: “Great.” Rawley: “I’m happy to tell you that as Richard Bacon’s nominated charity, you will be receiving a donation from us for 6000 pounds!” Fiona: “...oh! Great!” Rawley: “Yeah I know!” Fiona: “Eh, but didn’t you say, when we spoke before, it would be 25.000?” Rawley: “Hm? Oh no no no no no, no, no! No I said it could be 25.000, 25 is the maximum he could’ve won.” Fiona: “Right...” Rawley: “But as it worked out, he got knocked out at the second round unfortunately. But, not before he mastered a very respectable 6000 pounds for your charity! So that’s lovely!” Fiona: “So, sorry, just to be clear, you’re donating 6000 pounds...” Rawley: “Yeah!” Fiona: “Though you were prepared to donate 25.000...?” Rawley: “Well, technically...” Fiona: “But you won’t now...” Rawley: “No.” Fiona: “Sorry, can you just explain, why not?” Rawley: “Well... Because Richard Bacon thought Sooty was a dog.” Fiona: “Sooty was a dog?” Rawley: “Well that’s what Richard Bacon thought yeah but he’s not. No, he’s a bear. So therefor, we can only donate 6000 pounds.” Fiona: “Right, can I just tell you a little bit about the work we do here?” Rawley: “I am a teeny bit busy...” Fiona: “We provide fresh water wells to villages-” Rawley: “Right.” Fiona: “-in sub-Saharan Africa-” Rawley: “Yeah...” Fiona: “-which at a stroke reduce infant mortality by 80%. They eradicate cholera, diphtheria, tuberculosis...” Rawley: “That’s really amazing, it honestly, it is...” Fiona: “Yes.” Rawley: “But my hands are tied, really, because when it comes down to it, Sooty is a bear...” Fiona: “I know that!” Rawley: “No no I know you do but, you see, the thing is, Richard Bacon didn’t... So you see my position...” Fiona: “Yes, yes, but look, you, the company, must’ve budgeted for if he had known it.” Rawley: “Well yes...” Fiona: “You must’ve earmarked the 25.000 pounds you’d have given if Richard Bacon was more clued up about hand puppets...” Rawley: “Well technically...” Fiona: “Then, can’t you just pretend he did?” Rawley: “Yeah, I’m sorry, I just don’t think that would be ethical.” Fiona: “You don’t think that would be ethical?” Rawley: “Yeah I’m sorry, we just have to be really careful with ethics on TV, you know, in this climate?” Fiona: “But you’re fine with withholding 19.000 pounds worth of life saving water sources because Richard Bacon didn’t know Sooty was a dog?!” Rawley: “Oh I’m afraid that clinches it, Sooty was a bear!” Fiona: “I meant bear!” Rawley: “I’m sorry, I have to take your first answer, thanks for playing, bye!” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Anyone watching the Pottery Throw down on Channel 4? Great Bake off style programme now in it's 4th seriesJust caught up on the first episode. Enjoying the head teacher from Derry Girls as the new presenter. Already better than Sara Cox and Melanie Sykes from previous years.Keith greets at the least wee thing so I see that’s not changed either. Good to have it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Ski Sunday is back. Pretty weird, but despite the fact I detest skiing and snowboarding, and dislike a lot of people that do them, I absolutely love watching it. Greatest TV theme ever too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Watching the first episode of Foyle on ITV3 and somebody with a car trying to run him over was trying to escape by running along the road in front of it instead of jumping sideways into a hedge or something. Happens all the time on telly and film, does my head in. Other thing that annoys me is the writer of Foyle had loads more WW2 scripts all ready to go but ITV thought it was past it's sell by date. After loads of protests they let them do the post war stuff and that was it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Started watching Staged on BBC iPlayer. It's David Tennant and Michael Sheen talking to each other via Zoom about a play they're trying to make. It's pretty damn good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
