Ira Gaines Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I thought Kudrow was easily the worst of the lot. Didn't even raise half a smile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 "Away" as in "away to f**k, that makes no sense!". Hillary Swank is one of a team of astronauts heading to Mars. Spoiler After they leave the moon and head to Mars, for weeks they're chatting on their mobile phones to folk at home, with no time delay at all Spoiler After they break an unrealistically fragile water system, they plan to rendezvous with another spaceship going in the opposite direction with a closing speed of 30,000 mph. Then somehow head off to Earth again. Whit? Spoiler The grand plan is for a freighter carrying all their supplies to land on Mars a few days before them. If it crashes, they're fucked and the next freighter is months away. Aye, right. I suspect they would send the freighter, confirm it has landed ok, THEN send the manned flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the aggressive beggar Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Though Death to 2020 was decent but Larry Fishburne's narration was the main issue for me, surely Brooker's got enough clout now to continue his presenting role from Wipe. In tears at Diane Morgan - " not long after that my boyfriend left me" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Wilkos Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Have to say that I wasn't that impressed with Death to 2020. Don't think Diane Morgan has ever raised a smile, just not my sense of humour at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Diane Morgan is great, IMO. Death to 2020 was alright. Worth watching if you like Brooker but, as others have said, not his best. To be fair, the subject matter hasn't given many causes for laughs. I've stopped watching Frankie Boyle's show because being reminded of reality, even in a piss-taking way, was starting to get depressing. Could do with a second series of Tiger King or some mad shit like that to distract from everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 10 hours ago, Genuine Hibs Fan said: It's not bad really, raises the odd chuckle. But it's a long way from his more acerbic stuff back in the day It felt like he ended up too close to the people and things he was slagging off. He wasn't even one of the ones who became shit after Corbyn it was before then. Maybe it was marrying Konnie Huq. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the newer ones but just because some of the gags are good, it's a bit *insert Chris Morris quote about "a display for the court" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you about Frankie Boyle, it's too much like watching the C4 News, worthy but seriously depressing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Thought Death to 2020 was just a bunch of liberal actors having a laugh. Came across patronising and condescending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Watched all of Tiny Pretty Things. I think what must have happened was a producer went on Pornhub, typed in ballet scooby doo fame hollyoaks boarding school , and then presented the result as 10 hour-long episodes. Even a porn producer would at some stage have said “isn’t this nude scene a bit unnecessary?”. Would recommend it as a marital aid if nothing else. The dancing is impressive too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Death to 2020 was fine, some of it pish but the Trump stuff was amusing and frightening in same measure, and Hugh Grant is terrific no matter what he does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Wilkos Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Death to 2020 Good - Sam Jack, Laurence Fishburne (not the same person) Okay - Hugh Grant Bad - Diane Morgan, the flossing scientist, the rest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I'm an absolute sucker for a cooking show so noticed they had a new one on there called Best Leftovers Ever presented by her off GLOW and Rosemary Shrager as a judge. It's similar to Nailed It but these contestants actually know what they doing. Plus all the American references go right over Rosemary's head so that adds a bit of extra fun to it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Netflix price rise. Its standard monthly package will go up from £8.99 to £9.99 and its premium one will rise from £11.99 to £13.99, but its basic plan remains at £5.99. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Don't blame them tbh. Still fantastic content for £9.99 a month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I hate Amazon's interface. It really puts me off any time I rejoin. That there are pay things mixed in with subscription stuff really pisses me off as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 We’re considering cancelling Virgin all together and sticking with streaming due to the amount of shows between Netflix prime and Amazon. Same, except with sky. It's up next month and I'm cancelling unless they basically offer me it for free. I hate Amazon's interface. It really puts me off any time I rejoin. That there are pay things mixed in with subscription stuff really pisses me off as well. This, both of this.I fear you've peaked too early getting your annual "being right" post in so soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
