    Is it possible, to have some type of speaker system that connects to the tv and then Bluetooths to external speakers that can be placed in separate rooms?

    Today I learned the Taskmaster laughter track was taken from audience laughter in cinema screenings. Wish I could have gone to one for series 11.

    I think i'm done with taskmaster. My main issue is the tasks are too complicated, and not open-ended enough to allow for madcap antics. Rhod Gilbert was probz my favourite ever.

    As if any of the other mooks became the most decorated person in the history of their sport, not that beating a jockey (lol) or a footballer with one good season is much to crow about. Sending Daily Mail readers into a bUt I dOn'T uNdErStAnD tHe Tax SyStEm based seethe is right up there though.

    Don't fucking smear your fight for equality in my face because you lost the ethnic lottery yet on the other hand try to get out of paying the correct tax because you won the financial lottery. These double-standards need to be made clear.

    After all the hype about The Crown I watched the first two series and it was well worth it. Couldn’t be arsed with it after they changed the cast and I’ve no interest in all that Diana toss anyway. Matt Smith was class in it.

    Tommy Lascelles was the best thing in the whole series. I imagine he’s what Jimmy is like when he lets his hair down.

    Tommy Lascelles was brilliant.

    Season 3 and 4 are great though. Only season 4 is about Diana.

    I just found the complete cast change too much. I know they had to do it to continue the story but I just found myself wanting to watch it less.

    The xmas special is on currently and I've just had ASMR overload with the painting clean-up.

    Edit: and now I've got tears rolling down at the music-box. What scenes.

    The wife and I were the same but then went back to it ages later and it is worth watching, though I enjoy it as much for the historical takes on other stuff framing the storylines.

    Worth sticking with. Once they become familiar it’s as good as before.

    About halfway through Schitt’s Creek. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it but it’s so brilliant. David Rose is a seriously well-written character (mainly because it’s Dan Levy writing about his life).

    It definitely requires a bit of time. I disliked them all at first, for at least the majority of the first season. They ended up becoming some of my favourite television characters of recent times.

    Definitely. It does improve then becomes less funny as it gets to the end. Wholesome stuff.

    Watching the Money Heist at the moment. It's pretty good but also a tiny bit annoying. Can't put my finger on why.

    4 episodes perhaps? At that point it's 'Here are a load of entitled knobheads in a small town, the residents of which have nothing to like about them either'. Only the father had any signs of redeeming features.

    I gave up on it after about 8 episodes. I also couldn't quite work out why it wasn't really doing it for me and settled on the characters mostly being wankers and there wasn't anybody I was really rooting for.

    Anyone watch Succession? Mid-way through the second season at the moment and absolutely loving it. It's been on my "to-watch" list for ages, but it's much better than I expected it to be.

    It's fantastic, isn't it? I would say it's the best thing currently on television. It get's increasingly better as it goes on too.

    That's where I am - it's not a good sign when I'm hoping them just to get on with it and tell us how they fucked up/achieved it. But then I found out there are 5 seasons and fuck sake.

    Yeah. I didn't dislike it but the fact that I was having to tell myself to watch another episode was the sign to just give up.
