Preview of this coming Friday's Newsnight Review featuring Ian McShane as "Marcello Carlin"?

The return of the BBC's ratings stormer 'The Big Read', this time featuring Frankie-smasher and Betjeman-stalker Mike Read wolfing Mars bars in a bid to resusitate his flapping career?

― Huey in Melbourne (Huey in Melbourne), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 08:20 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sure I saw Mike "Ready" Read standing at the bus stop at Clapham Junction last night.

Lena and I were sitting in the Carfax Chippy a couple of Friday afternoons ago and there was a Bargain Hunt-type programme playing on the TV (BBC1) at the time. L was in open-mouthed astonishment throughout (or as open-mouthed as you can be while tucking into large cod and chips), particularly at the sing-song voiceover and what she was voicing ("And they've MADE a CLEAR profit of TWO pounds!").

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 08:20 (nineteen years ago)

Cheap as chips.

Temper Your Temper is a daytime programme about anger management, presented by Saira from series 1 of The Apprentice. I haven't seen it. Yet.

Your CLEAR PROFIT of TWO POUNDS thing is Car Booty. No other daytime programme would deal with margins that small, accompanied by a blurred, out-of-focus freeze-frame of some people attempting to shake hands.

I also haven't seen B&B The Best, but it appears to essentially be The Hotel Inspector fused with The Scottish One Off Dragon's Den Cusses Your Newsagent's Baaad multiplied by the worst title for a television programme since Now Is The Time: Night of Combat - Kickboxing.

Dear Santa, this Christmas I would like an area of expertise that isn't shit kthxbye.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 11:30 (nineteen years ago)

The BBC is so excited about it I can't even pull up their listings for tomorrow. What the fuck is it?

No, it's not a fuck.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

Is it the Last Trump being broadcast live from Daventry?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 11:50 (nineteen years ago)

Sxpost
hame, that'd be better than the tat which will fill the schedules.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 11:50 (nineteen years ago)

Is Saira actually earning more than Tim these days? That'd be lulz. Although Paul is a multibillionaire now, so that's OK.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 11:52 (nineteen years ago)

Does "What the fuck is it" somehow read to you as "is it a fuck"?

Naked man + olive oil + oats + horses

That was a pretty good description of North Pole Road at about a quarter to nine this morning.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 12:59 (nineteen years ago)

or a GMTV interview with Richard Arnold

2) We'll tell you later.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

No, I don't think it'll be on before 7.20. The nice BBC man said either 7.20 and 8.20 or 7.40 and 8.40.

It can't be about Ned's UK Tour Video Diary from 2005 as he's too ill in bed to be interviewed by satellite link up.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 13:21 (nineteen years ago)

Mmmmmmmm, pie...

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 13:43 (nineteen years ago)

Is this a live piece, or have you already recorded it?

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

Recorded two weeks ago!

That'd be ten times zero, then.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Well, my telly career started with me, the birthday girl, giving the finger to the local kids TV host when he made a joke on my surname (I was supposed to wave when it was my turn but he made this joke and my hand, well, just changed shape while waving).

I've also done the Sunday papers on News 24, with a hang/stoneover and reacted to post-muerte Diana stepmom Raine Spencer feeling-sorry-for-self tabloid story up for discussion with "Why does this woman persist in sharing the very dregs of her overprivileged life with poor unfortunate supplement readers? Please pass the sick bag!"

Did they ask me back? Whadda you think?

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

Still, 10 times the number of people that read your writing, then, Dom.

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

so I take it we're not going with the "ILX0rs that have been on telly (proper telly, like the BBC, not your local cable access show) thread" seeing as it's sort of been started already?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

Madchen, didn't you play recorder for something about Sinister, or was that something else I'm thinking of?

No, I most certainly did not! Somebody at a picnic did once play the recorder down a radio lady's mic, but he was a boy with ginger hair. I sat and glared. If I remember correctly, I was wearing a black dress and red lipstick that day, and feeling decidedly untwee.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, see, I remembered the story but not the details. Sorry!

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 14:05 (nineteen years ago)

No, because I wouldn't have wasted my lucky number in my first round, and thus would end up with the quarter of a million pounds.

Surely Crouch wouldn't fit in a bunker, his gangly limbs warning off any passing hoodie, or even worse, attracting attention so that Graeme Garden gets turned over like the Blue Peter one.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 06:14 (nineteen years ago)

― emsk ( emsk), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 06:27 (nineteen years ago)

and their weatherdude is called everton fox.

― emsk ( emsk), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 06:33 (nineteen years ago)

Was it on? I have to leave the house at 7.30am to do the school run, so I wasn't around to watch telly (and I forgot to set the CD-R). I are fool.

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 06:35 (nineteen years ago)

Ooh, shall we bombard the Breakfast inbox with comments about how great Shimura Curves are?

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 06:42 (nineteen years ago)

I would like to see Suzy's appearance on News 24. Is it on You Tube?

Will whatever we are waiting for be on You Tube?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 06:42 (nineteen years ago)

Eventually, everything ends up on YouTube.

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 06:46 (nineteen years ago)

it will be on youtube. it will be on the bbc site too, check the link ed posted.

― emsk ( emsk), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 06:48 (nineteen years ago)

But are the music industry's marketing men muscling in on the technology? We talked to the lead singer of the band Shimura Curves, which has four tracks on the website Myspace.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 07:14 (nineteen years ago)

"lead singer" is kind of funny, but it's not like everyone involved in the band don't know what happens to facts in a 200-word blurb.

What the shims were up to, 08:39 this morning.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 07:36 (nineteen years ago)

yeah totally, they asked amp if she was the lead singer and she explained how it works, but if you're the person writing that blurb for the bbc site, yeah, you cut it and also you want to make bbc look like it's got the lead singer so...

― emsk ( emsk), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 07:41 (nineteen years ago)

I watched it! I'd had a very late night but I managed to sliver off the couch to turn the telly on in time. and the Curves were worth it.

Great stuff!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 07:44 (nineteen years ago)

Nice that Penn Gilette let Teller speak in the interview at the end!

Ha ha! I hope Anna's and my mums don't see us drinking! And Marianna's mum seeing her getting her breastuses grabbed by Hitchcock! Oh my! And Emsk... has TURNED INTO A GIANT CAT! OH NO!!!

This is the problem with MySpace now... even yr mum knows about it now.

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 09:40 (nineteen years ago)

My ten year old daughter (along with every other school-age child in the country, I think) is on bebo, the kids' version of MySpace. She started to explain to me what this was, and was truly horrified that I knew all about it because I had MySpace mates of my own. BUT MUM! HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MYSPACE?? THAT STUFF IS NOT FOR MUMMIES! she yelled at me,

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 09:49 (nineteen years ago)

I'd have watched this if Grout had fuggin' told it what it was we were supposed to be watching, I was watching a crappy episode of "Will and Grace" instead!

― Tad Sneery (Dada), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 09:49 (nineteen years ago)

xp ROFL

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 09:50 (nineteen years ago)

Well, that's what happens if you're too busy cracking your own in-jokes to listen to what people are telling you!

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 09:51 (nineteen years ago)

And is Will and Grace on the BBC, Wednesday morning? ITN! (that's "I think not" )

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 09:52 (nineteen years ago)

Nobody was tellin' me nuttin' in this thread 'til about 2/3 of the way down by which time I'd stopped reading

― Tad Sneery (Dada), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

Well, blame the chattering asses, not us. We did tell you it would be exciting...

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 09:56 (nineteen years ago)

Plus YouTube doesn't seem to work on this 'puter

― Tad Sneery (Dada), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 09:58 (nineteen years ago)

Always a bit disappointing to see people touting a "Web 2.0" spin though - the things people do to get on TV.

― Bob Six (bobbysix), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:01 (nineteen years ago)

Well done, you four, you looked good. I am glad they got a bit of guitar freakout in.

And well done Ed for getting the video up so quickly.

I like the way the male presenter sort of leaned back in an "I noramlly wear a leather bomber jacket" kind of way before the report started.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:04 (nineteen years ago)

Everyone's is off. Mine, yours, Lily Allen's...

and this place is coughing a bit too...

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:33 (nineteen years ago)

My personal one is just fine.

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:36 (nineteen years ago)

Good thing we didn't mention ILX, huh? ;-)

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:36 (nineteen years ago)

Well, I don't know about you, but the watercooler thread is a nogo 4 me now.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:45 (nineteen years ago)

How weird, it doesn't seem to want to let me post.

People hate teh cooler. :-(

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:51 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, MySpace seems to be generally broken today. What have you done, Kate?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:55 (nineteen years ago)

It was teh BBC!!! Blame them!

(Mine is still working perfectly.)

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

Though it would be very funny if we broke MySpace after talking about how good it had been to us.

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

Seems it's back on.

Who's Brian?

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 11:05 (nineteen years ago)

I'm Brian, and so is my wife!

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 11:07 (nineteen years ago)

i nashed off to peebles shortly after posting on this thread yesterday, so had genuinely forgotten all about BBC1/wednesday morning/something happening.

so, lying in bed dozing with the telly on at 7.40 or thereabouts, i was surprised when my sleepy brane recognised a melody i'd once heard on myspace.

a couple of seconds later, my excitable cry of "fuck me, it's ... thing ... that ILX band ... elliptical wotsits" woke not only mrs fiendish but the whole fucking hotel.

am i the only one to notice that the close-up of miss amp's myspace profile contained the words "disgustingly underage"? do i get a prize?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

ah: i get a booby prize for not reading the shimura curves thread before posting here.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

I noticed that Konal Dodds was almost on national television, albeit in thumbnail format, assuming it is the same Steve M.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 14 September 2006 06:11 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, never mind then.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 14 September 2006 06:57 (nineteen years ago)

I have been on Top Of The Pops and Glastonbury coverage tho - just not performing.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 14 September 2006 09:03 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, apparently it has since been removed from her MySpace since she got (even more than usual) all these 16 year old boys trying to friend her.

;-)

― Angel In Love With Her Own Pedals (kate), Thursday, 14 September 2006 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

But now it's been broadcast on the beeb, they will again!
