Television, drug of the nation

Where was Sue?

Was down to a bereavement apparently.

We spent last weeks show deciding which of the cast voted brixit which was mildly entertaining.

one of them did drop in a Dune quote this week so I want him to win.

Q: "why is bakeoff so shit"
A: "because, it's shit."

/fin

watched a few more episodes. It's really not very good is it?

False cake jeopardy.

Its not illegal but its not fucking right either, not in a modern society.

(I have never watched it)

Hmm. No Bakexit chat. [wanders off]

@villa-ru
Bakexit is a ruddy travesty. It'll never be the same. C4 will probably get that twat Simon Rimmer involved

Tim Lovejoy to replace Mel and Sue? He does have kitchen experience...

Probably be Gregg fucking Wallace.

I don't know who Gregg or Wallace are but it sounds like an improvement.

christ i'd never tire of smashing his stupid face with that fireplace.

Does anyones Google cast crash their Internet?

My (Sky) Internet keeps going down but particularly when casting 4od.

Just trying to work out what the problem could be.

Ballers is an utter guilty pleasure. Dwayne Johnson is surprisingly good in it too.

Finished season 1, now ploughing through season 2.

It's like entourage and Californication bundled together, but based around merkin fitba.

I like that to enjoy it, you don't have to watch any sportsball either

I just started Ballers last night, pretty entertaining.

Luke Cage starting as well, will have to see how that is.

Does anyone remember a dodgy channel four show called Family Business about Seymour Butts, the porn producer?

Aired at least 10, maybe 15 years ago.

Yep. I remember that one. His dad or uncle was involved.

Not as bad as the documentary about a British girl with major daddy abandonment issues who went to the states to try to be a pornstar. Her audition with Max Hardcore was harrowing, and she uttered the immortal line of "he's the first man to have fucked me up the arse before he had even shaken my hand".

His cousin... Which brings me now to why I mention it.

I met Cousin Stevie when I was in LA. He and his lovely wife are the downstairs neighbours of a relative we stayed with.

Considering I watched that program during some "formative" years in my mid teens, I was completely star struck!

dad or uncle was involved

Max Hardcore

'E done bird for that!

Is Hooten & The Lady worth a watch?

Watching The Night Of at the moment. Great TV.
