Absurd old TV / movie things

Beyonce should do a similar video but about gas cookers with eye level grills.

I watched 3 episodes of new don’t hug me im scared before bed last night. Then all of the old ones. This was probably a mistake

Then again it wasn’t as bad as the night before when, despite me being the only person the house, somebody woke me up by turning the light on

I've only watched one of the new ones so far but it was pretty great

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Oct 10, 2022 1:27 am

This BBC Beano / Dandy documentary from 1988 is a rather enjoyable watch.

DC Thomson hatted Churchill (MP for Dundee for 14 years!

)

Dundee-based DC Thomson went to the trouble of ascertaining as whether they'd be able to print their comics/mags/newspapers/etc, if Glasgow fell to Nazi Germany. Conclusion = ves, they'd be able to continue publashing!

Watched the latest dr who. You would have thought that someone at the bbc or whoever makes it would stick their hand up and say “why don’t we make something that in some way actually makes sense, even just a little bit”

7/10

Post by **dng** » Tue Oct 25, 2022 8:32 pm

if doctor who made sense everyone would die

Post by **richschnauzer** » Tue Oct 25, 2022 9:14 pm

I see it has been sold to Disney anyway so it will never make sense again

I watched the bits with Tegan and Ace, and the knacked old doctros. Was good, 6 eggs.

Enjoyed seeing old Ian Chesterfield again, he's 97 you know.

i presume this is all some complex yet nonsensical way to get around the 13 regeneration limit

i won't be watching to find out, of course

Post by **Pual** » Wed Oct 26, 2022 7:00 am

They threw the 13 regenerations thing in the bin about 3 doctors ago now

I'm unsure as to whether I prefer Terrahawks to Star Fleet.

I hate it when I have to make big decisions. :'(

Children Of The Stones would've given me the terrors if I'd have seen it as a childer.

And around longer than Hitler was in power. It's all falling into place, now.

"Big Daddy's Saturday Show" ended up not going out as planned, as the titular wrestler had a heart attack only a few days before transmission. It was hurriedly retooled as just "The Saturday Show". And here's the equally hurriedly edited titles - see if you can spot the moments where they tried their best to cut Cartoon Big Daddy out of it (they had to leave one bit in):

Rentaghost was on BBC4 tonight. God, I hatt Rentaghost!

Post by **dng** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:16 pm

Does it make any sense when viewed as an adult? Because it never made sense when viewed as a child.

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:19 pm

I haven't got enough whisky in the chateau to get me through an episode of Rentaghost.

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:20 pm

From what I recall, I think I just found it stupid and silly, but in a really uninteresting way.

Post by **dng** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:37 pm

And also utterly terrifying

Post by **dng** » Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:38 pm

It always made Deadwood scarier too because the sheriff looked just like the jester from Rentaghost, the world's most frightening being

I don't think I found it terrifying, but I did find it most unsettling.

Whilst Brahms and Liszt.

It's both terrible and excellent at the same time

Post by **dng** » Mon Dec 26, 2022 9:57 pm

i'm not sure i've ever seen or heard of this

Post by **dng** » Mon Dec 26, 2022 9:59 pm

but its pretty amazing so far

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Dec 27, 2022 3:27 am

Apparently it was made with an eye on the American market, so they chose... Stanley Unwin as lead? Uh... okay...

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Wed Dec 28, 2022 2:06 am

Oh, the thing with Stanley Baldwin as a puppet spy / vicar! I've heard of that but never watched a full episode. The theme music is astonishing

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Feb 08, 2023 2:23 pm

I'm sure this Fawlty Towers reboot will be better than the originaal. Especially if it puts the boot into the Libs and the wokes.

Post by **dng** » Wed Feb 08, 2023 5:14 pm

My prediction is no one will ever hear about this again

Has it been mentioned here that Cleese is about to co-star in a new movie by noted fugitive nonce, Roman Polanski?
