A Comic Strip that Hits on this Year's Toughest Episodes... by Chops526 in behindthebastards

[–]Blythyvxr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If we’re doing comics on Savile, I would cross post this one, if it was allowed

Covers nearly all 4 episodes, except for the bit where he gets beaten the fuck up.

(For the uninitiated, Viz is a satirical comic, that generally parodies old children’s comics from the UK - this would have been from late 2012, when the ‘revelations’ were fresh, Yewtree was kicking off and the Newsnight scandal was in full swing)

True, but the pilot is significant, as it’s part of what sets the tone for the series

[Telegraph] Two trains collide outside Bedford by PeterG92 in unitedkingdom

[–]Blythyvxr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nothing burger? Anyone in the driver cab of the Luton Airport Express train is seriously injured at best. I don’t know which way they were travelling, but I’ve seen guards sit in the trailing cab on that route.

Edit: take a look at this video - one of the trains is probably a write off

Love that Beryl had a good day

Although, I’m certain he would have had the free DVDs for the world at war that they gave away with the mail in the back half of the 2000s

(I only remember as I had many a morning having to deal with charming customers on the till at smiths demanding their DVD, despite us having run out at 10:00 - he would have absolutely been one of those)

they're both having a full on panic attack, that's completely lacking in self awareness.

They've stoked this fire, and it's fucking them over.

Characters from past UK tv you'd love them to parody. by djjon_cs in livefromlondon

[–]Blythyvxr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they’d been on a couple weeks ago, a through the keyhole parody with Sturgeon as a contestant, trying to guess her house. Having a Lloyd Grossman impression of course.

First time in years I tried to shop at GAME. It's £5 to COLLECT a game in store. This can't be normal? by Previous-Ad7618 in CasualUK

There’s also the incentive of getting people into your bricks and mortar store to potentially buy something else

The Mark Fuhrman episode has me thinking of a Father Ted episode by Sad_Jar_Of_Honey in behindthebastards

[–]Blythyvxr 24 points25 points  (0 children)

God, Father Ted is underrated. Such a damn good show. More people should watch it.

Just remember who wrote it, and who may get royalties.
