Right. Leave it with me.


[eta] You after streaming, or a torrent? Not sure if it's available to buy from your location, so may have to be through less legitimate channels.

yeah I am really liking the Dirk Gently series. They've definitely captured something of the feel of the character in the books.

re: torrent, check your IMs

Also, if you haven't seen it yet, I heartily recommend Gok's Teens: The Naked Truth. It's a three part documentary series, where Gok looks at teens growing up and dealing with being different, sexuality, body image etc.

After a tv career helping women love their body shapes, he's turned his attention to body image for youngsters, including campaigning (successfully) to get a body image class added to the curriculum for secondary schools.

It's really engrossing and I defy anybody not to adore Gok by the end of it.

I particularly thought of you, Ibica, when I was watching the episode looking at sexuality and self-image. I think you might find it quite interesting, having been through the teen experience relatively recently.

I've been watching Frank Skinner's Opinionated on Dave (theyve been showing the whole series across a couple of nights). Figured this is one that probably hasn't made it over the water :p

This has two of my favourite comedians on the scene at the moment: Lee Mack and Miranda Hart




[eta] rewatching this one, it's mildly nsfw...

Well, this ws just confusing ...

I've watched a series or two of Doc Martin, starring Martin Clunes.

A New Jersey PBS station runs episodes, and since there was nothing more interesting on TV tonight, I decided to watch ... imagine my surprise, when it turned out not to be connected to the series I've come to really enjoy. Apparently there were three movie length episodes made before what I know as the show ... with a different premise bringing Doc Martin to the village in Cornwall.

Ibs - you knew more than I knew as it turns out. I have rubbish sources. Except for JB - who self-promotes flawlessly and I won't hear a word said against that.

The three performing members of The League of Gentlemen are indeed coming together for a performance.
Okay, it's only on Horrible Histories.
But hey - they're back together!
And Horrible Histories is wonderful anyway. We use their programmes as teaching aids in Key Stage Two. Poo and wee and violence and a comedy song. Not a stretch for the Gents.

They play a panel of film executives, to whom a number of historical villains pitch their life stories. Even reading it, I started laughing. It's straight out of their off-the-cuff commentary on Blood On Satan's Claw where they imagine pitching that particular film to a modern studio. Except they're on the other side this time I suppose. Oh and Pemby's in this, whereas Dyson was in the commentary. If I ever get a spare copy I'll send you one, E. It's priceless.

I would LOVE to see the Gents get together for an episode of Doctor Who or something. That would be Douglas-Adams-era epically amazing.

Glad you're enjoying Casanova, Ibs.

I envy you the next two episodes of Casanova because I adored that whole mini-series.

Have you ever heard a League commentary?
It adds another level to anything they do.
Like Pegg & Wright, it's worth spending the money to get the legal version just to hear them mither.

It's an art-form in itself. I was spoiled by TLOG and Shaun of the Dead. Most are fit only for burning. Torchwood... I'm sat here shaking my head, and yet the team give such good face at conventions..

Putting this here instead of the funny clips thread, because amusing as it is, it is more of a discussion.

I'm loving this series of 10 O'Clock Live. They've really found their feet now. Seems to have a much clearer identity as a show.

regarding the commentary

I have noticed on a number of discs I get from netflix that the special features are disabled. Sometimes the disc is clearly labeled RENTAL. I'm sure the commentary is there, but with a different menu file that has access to that stuff disabled. the intention is clearly to differentiate what you can see via rental from what you can get via purchase. that's ok, but I am already taking a chance, albeit a small one, with the decision to watch a given movie. I *sincerely* doubt I'd ever watch a movie, love it so much that I'd want to buy it so I could listen to the commentary. I happen to own Shaun of the Dead (but not for the commentary) and I'll listen to it now that you've given it such a high recommendation. But it has to be a pretty special pig for me to take that next step to purchase.

Most of the time I just want to see the movie, and the commentary tracks don't necessarily add a whole lot. I have been doing more watch instantly than discs lately. I do miss the ability to watch subtitles with original language rather than English dubs, particularly of anime, but I can live with it. I'm not that much of a purist.

The New Jersey PBS station just started showing Doc Martin Series 5. I love the interactions with the baby ... although I would expect a doctor to do better than that.
