In lieu of anything interesting, I’m just going to put out there that Bother’s Bar Happy Hour competition Word Up! starts Sunday. You could win £50! But don’t get overly excited.
It is doubtful there will be a Fantasy X Factor this year as I’m not sure I can be bothered to watch it, which gives us a good excuse to run Secondhand 3-2-1 over the winter months.
So what exciting things are otherwise happening?
Is that what it’s going to be billed as in the magazines? Really? Cadburys want to send me chocolate and fun CSVSMTWI things, and as I thought the show was good and I like the chocolate, I’m happy to shill for a bit. SUCK IT UP.
Anyway, here’s the official site and here is the official trailer – I don’t think many if any clips are from the actual version we’ll be seeing in the UK. The graphics are completely different:
You can download the decathalon pack here. But what you might be more interested in is the presentation of the blueprints. As you can see, a bit diferent to normal:
The show starts August 30th. Spots v Stripes is a Cadburys initiative to get the country playing in the run-up to the Olympic Games. I just noticed today that Wispa’s have lots of spots on them and Dairy Milks have stripes – I’m going to have to side with the spots on this one. Edit: Actually it sounds like the wrappersd are random. I thought I had CRACKED SOME SORT OF CODE.
Completely forgot this was on, saw it from halfway though, decided that comedians just aren’t very funny. One or two things though, from looking at the bios online:
Can anyone spot any other interesting connections?
Much like last week, but with less in it:
Lots of stuff happening today, so you can write about it here.
In the meantime, time for some Boyard-abilia, the genuinely terrible Fort Boyard 2010 by JohnJohn. “I have to arrest you for being too sexy,” indeed.
You can buy it on iTunes!!! And if you want to chat about tonight’s FB 2011 episode, you should do it here.
Just a quickie as I forgot to watch it on Tuesday. It’s on Demand Five until the space year 2016 by the looks of things.
Adam Buxton’s commentary is funny (although there’s not much of it really), but I think the show has lost something in translation – I don’t think there’s enough slapstick and not enough big moments of impact to get them going – the decision to have so many timed challenges works against it I think. The Noiseometer is, er, quite generous as well.
