Two twin sisters regularly swap lives for months at a time, then one of them goes missing. The critical reception hasn't been great but we enjoyed the first episode. I tried this show as well. Cheese-grater-to-the-helmet bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I'm wondering if it will include the Ricky Gervais bit and, it if does, how long it will be edited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 He did the full 6 minutes of the Ricky Gervais bit. I thought it was shite when I saw it live and still do. Other than that it was his usual masterful self. Anyone who can stand more should tune in next week for "Tornado". A pity it wasn't recorded at the Kings in Glasgow as I shouted out and made the fat cunt laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 How the fuck does that mutant Andrew Collins get on every one of those "50 best/worst" shows that proliferate C4 and 5? As Nikki Graham would say "who is he?" "WHO IS HE?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieKTID Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 How to with John Wilson, I'm feeling a bit under the weather so here's a brief description stolen from an online review -Each week Wilson takes an idea or prompt and tells a story in voiceover, using an extraordinary collage of footage taken from the streets of New York City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not *too* bad but is nothing special. Seems to not know if it wants to be a mystery, thriller or whodunit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was decent - not only did he do the Gervais bit, but he used the 'go on about something for too long' device more than once with the 'this is a true story bit'. It's a device that we've come to expect, but secretly wish he wouldn't bother with, tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He quoted a review which said the "Ricky Gervais" bit went on too long which implies it has an acceptable length. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Nikki Graham would say "who is he?" "WHO IS HE?" I remember him as half of Collins and Maconie (the other half being Stuart Maconie). In saying that I don’t remember what Collins and Maconie were known for. I think either or both of a sub Mark and Lard radio show and a bit about films on a youth magazine tv show. I once saw Stuart Maconie at a motorway services and struggled to explain to the Mrs who he was then. “Off of programs like “I love 1985”” was the best I could do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 The Ricky Gervais bit was worth it for the pause to take a swig from his bottle. Loved the bit about him and his son co-writing a joke neither of them fully understood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say it's hard to describe, it's funny and bit surreal and at times, the end of the season is quite moving. NYC is some place I'll need to get myself back over at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
