    In an afterthought I thought it might be her as she had a charisma on screen.

    All this talk about a TV show about the human body is making me SICK. Can't imagine anything more unnatural than a human body.

    Depends who you’re telling. Don’t be a paedo at the very least.

    You can’t go on with this kind of shite because some cunt with a nose ring thinks they want things their own way.

    Subscription only Giggs, but I'm sure it's fine as long as it's natural. Children shouldn't be treated like, erm, children.

    I haven't seen this paed fest tv show, or even an advert for it, but lol at the idea of Channel 4 doing something like that for educational reasons.

    It was basically teaching 12 year olds what rimming and Cleveland steamers were as part of the curriculum in an attempt to be woke, but normality has prevailed.

    Channel 4's always been that kind of PROGRESSIVE shambles. Remember the live autopsy? Remember the reality show that was Dermot O'Leary trying to keep people awake?

    Once anyone sees C4 and education in the same sentence they should immediately end it.

    The autopsy was one of the things I had in mind when questioning their motives now. Like fuck did they do that for educational reasons.

    Haven't they got one now where people have to live entirely in the dark [I sort of think this has been done before but as some sort of experiment on some poor hardman character who ended up being reduced to ruin by it]?

    Channel 4's remit when it was created was to create programming for minority groups, hence it's always been a bit left field

    Logan's "I love you, but you are not serious people" was such a top-drawer put down to the kids in that episode. They're really not.

    An advert has just alerted me to the fact that some bright spark at ITV has designed to green light a dramatisation of "The Hunt for Raoul Moat'.

    I'll just be honest, if there's a scene that depicts Gazza bringing him a KFC mega bucket and a fishing rod then I will probably watch.

    He's absolutely right. I imagine in real life being in a situation where you're a self made man to the sort of level Logan is and having children must be strange. Surely a large part of you is always going to think they're entitled little cunts.

    The highlight of that episode though was Connor banging on all the time about wanting to go to a karaoke bar and when he finally gets to one singing "Famous Blue Raincoat".

    If there isn't then we riot. They could probably get Gazza in to act it personally.

    I’d rather watch a series about Gazza taking him a KFC and a fishing rod.

    Still surprised the police didn't go for the Gazza + Mega Bucket + Fishing Rod tactic.

    Moat was clearly a Proper Football Man and as such, there's no way he would have unloaded his sweet shells into Paul Gascoigne.

    As much as I love succession, season 4 for me has felt a bit greatest hits so far. Great one liners but aren't we still doing the same thing over and over again?

    I went round my cousins yesterday and his lad was watching a cartoon on Netflix called Oddballs. Couldn't stop laughing at it.

    As children’s cartoons go, it’s no Teen Titans Go, but it’s pretty funny.

    Finished Sandman. It's alright, isn't it? Has wildly variable episode-to-episode quality but when it's bad it's not much worse than a bit weird and dull and when it's good it's really good.

    Might finally make a start on Succession next since everybody's banging on about it again.

    I watched the first season and liked it. It had some elements of really good sci-fi in there, and one particularly memorable section of the opening episode that very much hooked me in. It got a bit mental and convoluted as the season went on but it was still worthwhile.

    I then waited until season two was done with the plan to watch them all in quick succession and it got fucking cancelled so I've not yet bothered as I don't imagine it got a proper ending.

    (@ Ian) You won't regret it. If you can get through the Greg-induced cringe of the first 3 or 4 episodes then a treasure trove of pure gold awaits.

    I thought the same about Sandman. It jumped up and down quality wise but overall I still liked it. The best episode was definitely (for me anyway) the one with
    Toggle Spoiler
    , I loved that one.

    Also, is it just me or did the entire cast of Goodness Gracious Me turn up in it at some point? It had a very strong cast of British talent in general, to be honest.

    On the latter point, get on it. You can't make a start soon enough.

    Oh yes I did. Well, up tom series 2. Haven't given 3 a bash. I didn't think NZ2 was among my favourite serieseses but it was really good and David Correos had some excellent moments in it.

    I'm just waiting till it's all out. Only like a month or so left I think. But I am a binge-watcher so there's that.

    We like to try the Walter Presents stuff to be all fancy and that, last few we watched were Torn, a French show with stunning scenery where a woman returns to her old home town and her old boyfriend immediately throws his existing life away to jump on her, someone dies but not all is as it seems and one of the characters is a Michelin star chef.

    Just followed that with A Deadly Union, a French show with stunning scenery where a woman returns to her old home town and her old boyfriend immediately throws his existing life away to jump on her, a few people die but not all is as it seems and one of the characters is a Michelin star chef.

    It's the variety we love most.

    There isn't, there was a news story about it the other day. That's not 'the story' they're trying to tell.

    I have no idea why you'd make that story without it though, the rest of it is just unrelenting misery as far as I can see [soz the late PC Rathbone].
