It’s still quiet, so whilst we’re waiting for something interesting to happen here’s Cluedo in Swedish.
Fans of such murder mystery should undoubtably be watching South Korea’s Crime Scene as it’s a) better and b) subtitled. And c) features AMAZING game playing by Bother’s Bar mascot Jinho every week.
Good luck to the crew of new Endemol BBC2 afternoon quiz Two Tribes, filming over the next fortnight. If it’s good it’ll probably be because of Richard Osman, if it’s rubbish probably because of the internet’s Dan Peake.
We’ll probably have a recording report or two sometime over the next fortnight, otherwise if you’re in the Hammersmith area, or don’t mind travelling to the Hammersmith area, it looks like SRO still have plenty of tickets available.
Yes-heee-heee-ssss, the Summer is about to get a whole lot more amusing, Bother’s Bar favourite (and financially backed) 31 Questions returns to access television in Melbourne TODAY. It now features a modern ‘dark’ set.
And here’s episode one!
Tonight at 8pm on Channel 4 and the next three Fridays. Quite a large social media push, and some quite good celebrities to be fair. We’ll see.
Or was it “watching you watching us watching you watching us”? Or even “watching you watching us watching us watching you”?
Anyway Big Brother‘s back tonight (C5, 9pm) with its exciting “power trip” theme. The house looks absolutely terrific. You will be able to vote with the official iThing app, and tonight you can affect the launch night twist. You can buy 2 votes for 99p, 4 votes for £1.99 and 6 votes for £2.99, which represents a flagrant disregard for usual bulk buying policy (the unit cost is higher the more you buy). That Big Brother, he just doesn’t care.
We’ve made some nice money on the betting markets the last few years (Dexter! Lauren Harries! Jim Davidson!). My advice is to keep your eye on Betfair. Back someone long (who looks as though they might be positively entertaining (funny, basically)) then lay them off towards the end if you don’t think they’ll win. You’re looking for people whose odds are stupid high but you think will shorten throughout the run. Big Brother winners are either obvious from the start or someone you don’t expect, pray for the latter.
Yesterday was the first meteorological day of Summer, but the Bother’s Bar Summer of Boredom has been in full swing for weeks now.
HOWEVER, we might just be approaching the end, or at least a positive blip. Here’s What’s Interesting This Week:
How exciting.
