Arch Stanton Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 5 are currently showing a Michael McIntyre retrospective. Unusually they haven't called it "How a fat posh boy managed to convince the BBC that he was funny and subsequently rinse the licence fee payer for over a decade." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Highlander, a film I loved when it came out despite the bizarre accents and casting. It's utter shite. 'Where are we Connor?' (His young wife who has suddenly put a grey wig on and is near death). 'The Highlands lassie.'.

Sounds like a programme where for once it would be a positive advantage to have about 15% actual footage of the subject and the rest of the time taken up by people talking about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except he's clearly very popular, so there's no rinsing going on. Not a fan myself (although I don't find him terrible) but he gets the numbers and loads of folk enjoy him. 9 hours ago, welshbairn said: Highlander, a film I loved when it came out despite the bizarre accents and casting.

Did Philby actually give up Blunt ( and Hollis ? ) ? I haven't seen it but heard an interview with the writer. There was a real meeting in Beruit but the content is imagined. Don't know q2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love it, but there is no getting away from one of the most oddly cast movies ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Recorded the Big Fat Quiz of 2022 the other night, and decided to watch it there. Turned it off after 5 minutes, when I could no longer handle Rosie Jones constantly screaming, and the others pretending she is funny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that episode is a repeat(they've done a bunch of episodes that are a Big Fat Quiz of Everything). Thankfully it is a new one on Monday, and Rosie Jones isn't on it. She ruins every show she is on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
