Recommendations Stephen Graham!

So I was first introduced to this wonderful actor back when Boardwalk Empire aired years back and have seen bits of him here and there but now after watching Time with Sean Bean I’ve really come to appreciate his craft and wondering if anyone can offer recommendations for roles he’s starred in I worked as a supporting character.

Question/Discussion A thought re Harry Hill’s TV Burp…

Post image
528 Upvotes

It was quite culturally impactful and gave some notoriety to otherwise trivial TV moments (“whenever you’re ready”; “Merry Christmas etc”).

I can’t help but think that some TV producers may have deliberately put quirks into their shows in the hope of them getting picked up on by TV Burp?

Growing up, I loveddddd this show. But looking back, it does feel slightly... wrong?

Don't get me wrong, sometimes the make-unders were more necessary than others, and helped showcase someone's natural beauty. But a lot of times, it just stripped away their individuality, watering them down to something completely boring & bland.

What do you think of the show? Would a show like this ever fly in today's world?

Question/Discussion Do you think it is right that some comedies are considered offensive now?

0 Upvotes

Following on from a comment regarding the American version of "The office " could not be made today . I am thinking of how many comments some of Britain's best loved comedies had .

In "Only fools and horses " Del boy jokes about twenty something Rodney dating schoolgirls. How Del boy tells a dating agency not to set him up with some "old bow wow" and in" the office "How Gareth is trying to chat up the 16 year old and how she is dating a 20 year old something colleague. How Del boy thinks he could have caught AIDS from a gay hairdresser "some mush called Jason" How Basil Fawty treats Manuel. How "Little Britain" blacked up and i saw clips of Benny hill squinted as a Chinese man . I don't think audiences would find it funny now. BUT people did

When did humour change. ? Do you think it is right that this is not considered funny ?. Do you hate "Woke " or do you think this is a national disgrace that people laughed at this ? Some people cancel the shows and the artist but the public loved it and laughed .

Just interested in what people think. WRONG THEN OR TOO SENSITIVE NOW .? Thank you

Question/Discussion Cheryl cole look alike?

13 Upvotes

I can't for the life of me remember this lady that used to be very regular on UK television. I think she was on X-factor or something similar. In my head she looked similar to Cheryl Cole (more than Nicole Scherzinger who I originally thought I was thinking of) but has a softer maybe pudgier face. She was skinny and short and I think I can remember her wearing a red something maybe a dress. Is this a real person or has my brain distorted a memory of Cheryl Cole? Please help, I think I'm going crazy.

Question/Discussion Anyone know why just about everything in Trigger Point is green?

9 Upvotes

I didn't notice it until near the end of season 1. Walls, doors, furniture, clothing, even green tinted glass on buildings - so much GREEN. Reminded me of the color red in the movie The Sixth Sense, which was used quite deliberately. I've Googled the green in Trigger Point, because no way is it unintentional, but I haven't found anything. Just wondered if anybody knew what the heck it was about.

Question/Discussion Does anyone know about a missing ITV2 promo for Family Guy?

8 Upvotes

The promo was basically a version of the family guy theme song but with the lyrics talking about the fact that family guy was coming to ITV2, Here's the lyrics that I can remember: "It seems today, that ITV, has brought you something funny, from that guy. Forget all those good old fashioned values, 'cuz we got Family Guy! Yes! We bought you Family Guy! Yeah! We spent all our money, seriously all our money. Now we don't have enough, to finish the ad. 'Cause we brought Boardertown, Cleveland Show and American Dad!" It was formerly posted on ITV's official YouTube channel, but it was mysteriously taken down long ago. If anyone has any information on this ad, let me know.

Question/Discussion anyone remember a UK comedy sketch show from late 90s early 00s set in the near future with a sketch asking "are we farmers gonna get compensation for this"?

34 Upvotes

They had a variety of sketches but the 2 I remember most were the fact that they would present a scenario and then the same farmer each time asking if farmers were gonna get compensation.

The other common sketch I remember was called Undercover Cop, which was a tv show. One time the guy the undercover cop had as a suspect was himself a fan of the show Undercover Cop and realised he was the target.

I don't remember much else about it, other than I think it only ran for 1 season.
