enrique seems so jaded for 26yr old.

Tracer, what do you mean by small?
Mean yes (altho I wouldn't say Spaced was particularly mean in any way).
Easy? Maybe...they both seem very thoughtfully written and intricate tho.

― vita susicivus (blueski), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

"Spaced" is one of the least mean British comedies of the last ten years! "The Vicar of Dibley" is meaner!

― Tom D. (Dada), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

Errol's driving lessons in 15 Storeys High were amazing.

Favourite Down the Line moment might be from the first series when Whitehouse's Scouse character comes on, says something like 'Alright Gary, I'm a Socialist...' and gets immediately cut off. 'What is the biggest house in France?' runs it close though.

― Rob O'Brien (igotmadskills), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 18:09 (nineteen years ago)

'Swings an' roundabahts, though, innit Gary? Swings and roundabahts...
'I'm not actually sure what that means'
'.....swings and roundabahts, innit? Swings and roundabahts.'

"The Vicar of Dibley" is meaner!

I wouldn't go that far. Spaced is a bit mean about...Aswad.

Man, those Sunn O))) dudes have turned into cunts.

― Ruairi Wirewool (Ruairi Wirewool), Thursday, 1 February 2007 00:19 (nineteen years ago)

Ralph and Ted, that's the one. Excellent.

I wonder what an AV lounge is.

I watched some of The Mighty Boosh live last night and reflected that perhaps it was not worth six quid after all.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 1 February 2007 09:01 (nineteen years ago)

Down the Line is, indeed, the funniest comedy show on any of the broadcast media for a long time. I could listen to Simon Day talking bollocks in a South London accent for hours on end.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPu4YX0KfFA&eurl= now that's some satires

― acrobat (elwisty), Thursday, 1 February 2007 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

this probably deserves a thread of its own on ILM and it's not even really comedy BUT it is the offical comic relief single 2007

Girls Aloud vs Sugababes - Walk This Way

not very "good"

― acrobat (elwisty), Thursday, 1 February 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

screen wipe/burn is back back back tonight.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Monday, 5 February 2007 11:45 (nineteen years ago)

i have been watching things mentioned here, for research purposes.

i saw e01 of 'jam'. i now think that this was the only ep i saw of it first time round (in full at any rate). it's mostly utter shit, and the appalling rape 'joke' towards the end is just... shit. i will persevere, but it's drastically worse than...

'nathan barley'. rewatched first two episodes, and it's great.

'spaced' is still good.

'the day today' is too familiar now' so is 'kmkywap', but in a good way.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Monday, 5 February 2007 11:48 (nineteen years ago)

Spaced is waaaaaay too familiar for me now. Every time I watch it (not often nowadays) it's just too boring. I think I need to not watch it for 10 years like I'm doing with Star Wars.

― Johnney B English (stigoftdump), Monday, 5 February 2007 12:56 (nineteen years ago)

tv burp was again almost flawless. after the jade goody doll i couldn't stop laughing. i seriously doubt its "timeless" or "progressive" but imo funniest tv program in years.

― acrobat (elwisty), Monday, 5 February 2007 13:28 (nineteen years ago)

do they repeat it?

― vita susicivus (blueski), Monday, 5 February 2007 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

it's on tonight. didn't know it had already gone out.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Monday, 5 February 2007 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

oh 'burp', not 'burn'.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Monday, 5 February 2007 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

the trumpet-playing 'how to be a lesbian' bit killed.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Monday, 5 February 2007 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

> tv burp was again almost flawless.

funniest bit was the 'who do you think you are?' / 'you don't know you're born' comment. i doubt itv bosses were laughing though.

> do they repeat it?

yes. late night, sometime in the week. (midnight, wednesday night)

― Koogy Bloogies (koogs), Monday, 5 February 2007 13:40 (nineteen years ago)

TV burp is funny

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 5 February 2007 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

the breakthrough

― vita susicivus (blueski), Monday, 5 February 2007 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

I'm loving Harry Hill's riffs on Ray Mears and that nature guy who never finds what he's looking for ("Up in the sky, that's birds... On the ground, that's mostly dogs...")

― chap (chap), Monday, 5 February 2007 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

It almost makes me want to watch those programmes, but I'm afraid that might spoil it.

And when it's finished, all the "normal" problems look as if they are deliberately bad, for laughs or something.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 5 February 2007 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

that nature guy who never finds what he's looking for

The bit the other week with the rules for which snakes are poisonous was comedy gold.

― I don't know whether to play the trumpet, read a book or be a lesbian. (aldo_cow, Monday, 5 February 2007 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

Screen Wipe not quite firing on all cylinders there, but Justin Lee Collins presenting The World At War was inspired.

― I don't know whether to play the trumpet, read a book or be a lesbian. (aldo_cow, Monday, 5 February 2007 22:37 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, he's starting to repeat himself a bit - how many times has he done psychics? A few chuckles, though.

― chap (chap), Monday, 5 February 2007 22:42 (nineteen years ago)

Once, I am going to remember this is on.

Friday sees the return, on BBC Scotland only, of comedy scripted by Jack Doherty and Moray Hunter. A pilot only, mind, but it's a start.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 5 February 2007 23:52 (nineteen years ago)

That's quite exciting, Ailsa. Do(c)herty looked very rough when I saw him on Wardour Street last week. Probably just got up (it was 2pm). This was two minutes after seeing Victoria Wood hefting a large bag up Newman Street. Flickr friends will know of my latest Britcom celeb encounter. But it's Soho - the place is crawling with people visiting their agents/postprod studios/prod companies/etc. And none of them look like they have to get up (or go to bed) as early as I do. (He says, posting at midnight).

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 00:00 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, Docherty. Pete's junkie ways have infested my brane.

It stars Docherty, Hunter, Morwenna Banks and John Gordon Sinclair (who hasn't actually done anything of note since Fraggle Rock, I don't think, but he gets a free pass for life in my world for Gregory's Girl and That Sinking Feeling)

Looks a bit shit, mind.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 00:06 (nineteen years ago)

ally saw m hunter on byres rd, a month and a bit ago, and I saw j g sinclair in somerfield on byres rd, about a month ago

no idea what's happened to m banks

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 09:05 (nineteen years ago)

burp > burn.

brooker needs to make big statements too much.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 09:14 (nineteen years ago)

I've seen Morwenna Banks around here a bit too; probably doing lots of voiceover work. "More Peppa Pig!" I almost shouted at her. The lad Sparkes is also doing children's stuff and regional-only TV.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

i mean, still rep him to the fullest and all.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 09:17 (nineteen years ago)

do you like macs?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 09:18 (nineteen years ago)

i have one. it's okay. the ex says the article was silly because for some people a mac is a work requirement.

― the original hauntology blogging crew (Enrique), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 09:22 (nineteen years ago)

brooker's summation of CBB was spot on.

did noddy mention last week that the absolutely team had some animation thing going out on during the day on ch4? possibly repeats of after midnight stuff?

― Koogy Bloogies (koogs), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 09:35 (nineteen years ago)

02:30 Humdrum [repeat] [subtitles]
A shadow-play, voiced by Jack Docherty and Moray Hunter, dealing in a humorous way with boredom.

― Koogy Bloogies (koogs), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 09:37 (nineteen years ago)

Mowenna Banks is David Baddiel's other half I believe!
She was in one of the Thick Of It episodes -playing the actress in the focus group..

― Pandas At War (pandas at war), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 11:37 (nineteen years ago)

She was also in Baddiel's Syndrome...

― DavidM* (unreal), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 11:50 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, she has spawned child of Baddiel too. Also, she was in Saxondale, but no-one watched that, did they?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 20:44 (nineteen years ago)

They should have. It was great.
