Love this

By | September 22, 2022

No idea why they’ve just added it, but the set-up makes me laugh so much. You can see the House of Games production element here. It’s fun, it’s mundane, it’s fundane. Truly the greatest teatowel consolation prize since The Time It Takes. Apparently the washing-up liquid gets rid of the top ten stains, but regrettably… Read More »

Look, the Strictly launch show has been postponed until the 23rd (the day before the first live show, but it’s a prerecord so it’s OK), let’s be honest you’re not going to watch The Masked Dancer, so why not join us on the Discord from 7:15pm UK as we watch two famous German comics battle… Read More »

A big week in early October

By | September 8, 2022

Dutch Genius arrives on 3rd October and that ought to be PRETTY EXCITING as the Dutch tend to do this sort of thing well. The Mole on Netflix arrives 7th October and is likely to be PRETTY UNDERWHELMING as US versions of things frequently are, not helped by a rather unusual content drop strategy of… Read More »
