Geoff Capes is the last famous one I can remember, and I don't think he did anything terrible, did he? I assumed we were talking about people local to BFTD as he was discussing people he had actually met. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I stuck this in the PTTGOYN thread but it's suitable for here too = Tv shows, usually from the US, who cast famous people to play themselves, but cast other famous people to play fictional characters. A great example is Curb Your Enthusiasm. By its very premise there will be famous people in it as Larry David will know thousands of famous actors. But I hate how for example the cast of Seinfeld play themselves (Seinfeld, Louis-Dreyfus, Alexander, Richards), Ted Danson, Rosie O'Donnell, David Schwimmer, Richard Lewis all play themselves, then you have the likes of Bryan Cranston, Vince Vaughan, Stephen Colbert playing fictional characters. It's very petty but it gets on my tits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had an old neighbour called Jeremy. He worked for a bird charity and would get annoyed at his many birds my cat killed. The cat was a top troll and would leave his fresh kills or ones he had horribly maimed at Jeremy’s front door. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched on countdown the other day. Anne Robinson is very wrong for that show. It needs a warm and friendly sort, but she brings her ice cold arseholery to every interaction and the tone is just off. All the surgery doesn't help either as she doesn't have facial expressions. She reminds me of Vincent D'O'Noffrio's alien in Men In Black. The new numbers woman is fucking gorgeous though. Delightful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I also went to school with John Hewitt (not that one). And Alan Davidson who fell off a rollercoaster in Blackpool and broke his arm. Pished his breeks every day when he came back to school as he couldnt use his left hand in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Season 3 of Grayson’s Art Club. Episode 1, Bill Bailey drops round with some soup. They paint a picture, Grayson looks at some pictures and chats to folk about them. It’s a bit like Tony Hart for grown ups/old hippies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some “magic of television” going on but how he manages to pick out interesting folk/stories just from browsing their art really gets me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustOneCornetto Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 My Brilliant Friend on Sky Atlantic somehow slipped past me but after someone recommended it I started binge watching last week and now half way through second season. I love films/tv shows set in Italy and this one is really good set in Naples in 1950s it's a coming of age story about two smart girls growing up in a poor neighbourhood. Based on the four part series the Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante it translates so well to tv and is filmed very cinematically. I see that Paolo Sorrentino who directed 2 really good films I saw recently The Family Friend and The Hand Of God, is one of the producers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
