the trailers for stath lets flats have always put me off.
currently watching the second python documentary of the night, which covers a lot of the same ground as the first python documentary of the night and wondering what the point is.

did anyone else watch the tez o'clock show? seems like it's been canned after 3 episodes, but I liked it

I've had a stinking cold the last few days and binged a good dozen episodes of Travel Man. Perfect.

Fully expect there to be some anti Ayoade edgelords on here but ^ yep.

New taskmaster is a step up from series 8, luckily.

Hmm, taskmaster never grabbed me but two of the three episodes I've seen were from series 8.

It's interesting that if you don't know Ayoade's cohost you learn both whether you think they're funny and also whether they're a good foil for Ayoade, and the two don't seem to be correlated AT ALL.

quite enjoying 'Defending the Guilty' which has a 'Teachers' vibe complete with lots of Belle & Sebastian

To be honest my opinion of Nish Kumar is based on watching The Mash Report like twice and thinking it was a bit duff.
ok then er they have *checks ilm* wolf alice? they mentioned Taylor Swift iirc
no and no.

Oh yeah Mash Report was terrible. Really love his stand-up tho.

I only made it 3-4 minutes into Mo Gilligan's Netflix thing. I suppose calling Mum's "dickheads" over and over in the space of a few minutes is not for me.

It's not believable and it's a bit stressful to watch but it does have Diane Morgan in it.

one of my greatest fears in life is turning into, or even appearing to turn into, Anna M-M's character. I can barely watch it.

some good lines last night. noticed Barunka and holly walsh in the writing credits too. and two Linehans (for a previous series i think)

Harry Hill has been good vfm recently. His stint on junior bake off doing dad jokes and the non-reaction of the kids, and his little compare bits on club night.

the long hignfy had 3 or 4 other nazi jokes on top of the Holocaust denial one, all of which fell flat (albeit not as much).

Well done there, Ricky.
Ricky Gervaisâ golden globe joke is quickly taken out of context across Chinese social media. Heâs now a viral hero among ppl championing âartists should stay out of politicsâ. (HK & Xinjiang of course is brought up). Itâs a joke that Gervais canât write himself. H/t @xuxibai. pic.twitter.com/8TGYXUdJAY— Toni (but whatâs your *real* name?) (@tony_zy) January 6, 2020

Taskmaster is moving to ch4.
went looking for news of a new series only to find that they've skipped channel and they are quoting late 2020 for the next series. part of me thinks that they are running out of contestants after 9 series and maybe this will attract a different kind of participant and part of me thinks this will be bad, anne wiidicombe on celeb crystal maze bad.

Tim Key, Katy Wix, Rhod Gilbert my top three of the top of my head.
Joey Essex would kill the show stone dead.
― ailsa, Friday, 17 January 2020 15:37 (four years ago) link
Bob Mortimer the best contestant that's been on, nobody else comes close.
Rhod Gilbert, Tim Key, Paul Chowdhry, Joe Lycett, Asim Chaudry and Katy Wix all great. Special *entertainment* points for Ian Stirling for being the most horribly competitive.
Series 9 probably had the best all-round casting?

God, yeah, Ian Stirling was really watchable, see also Ed Gamble and James Acaster.

frankie boyle's tour of scotland has a bunch of great throwaway lines. and nice scenery.
