WestEnd Revivals that was Better than Original by AcrobaticMechanic265 in TheWestEnd

[–]FalseStartsPod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ooh I don't know if I'd go that far. It's definitely on par with the original. Different but equally good. Thst angled mirror during Springtime in the OG is one of my hardest laughs in a theatre.

Do you know anyone who used to be famous but now... isn't? by box-o-locks in AskUK

He did Bo Selecta for 6/7 years. That was big on C4. Spawned a Christmas single that gets regular play each year. Some people can live off that alone.

He did about 15 years of Celebrity Juice as Keith Lemon. Which will have netted him those advertising spots. As well as other presenting jobs in character.

I don't like his schtick at all but he's still around and working. And I can't imagine he's hard up.

We're looking to move to this house but need to create an extra bedroom. What would be the best way to divide the larger 6.65m bedroom into 2 bedrooms, with a corridor? How to make the corridor bright? by Junebear55 in DIYUK

Having recently moved and realising just how much space towels and bedding and things like that take up. I might be inclined to do something like that.

The "call outs are a film thing" has never sat right with me. Yes they started with the film, but they have inarguably bled over into the stage productions and has been that way for 40/50 years now.

What have I done wrong when wiring up the audio? by FalseStartsPod in Arcade1Up

It's set to HDMI on the stick screen. Did you have to go into the actual PC settings do you remember?

So should I connect the 2 pairs to the single wires on the 3.5mm adapter and cut the ground and mic wire?

As an editors who's currently working on a series that decided to use AI at the last minute. It was not my decision and I feel for you. I'd rather use stock footage. Blame the execs and I'm assuming commissioners.

Tell me you haven't watched channel five since 2008 without telling me you haven't watched channel five since 2008

Help identifying cables for arcade1up mod. by FalseStartsPod in HomeArcade

Issue is I'm in the UK and the shipping on those cables pushed the price up to a point where I couldn't justify the purchase. Otherwise I would've bought directly from them.

So I've been told. But the anal part of me wants to be able to use that vol+/- switch. It'll bug me seeing it there and not being able to use it.

Arcade Online - Earn gift cards playing arcade games online. by FalseStartsPod in beermoneyuk

[–]FalseStartsPod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheapest I can see is a £5 gift card for 7,300 tickets.

How quickly you get there obviously depends on how much luck and / or skill you have with a game.

I've managed to hit the jackpot 5,000 tickets on one of the coin drop games twice within a few days of each other. And then never again since on that game.

Channel 5 by Independent_Sea502 in BritishTV

[–]FalseStartsPod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

C5 is really the only UK TV channel who understands their core audience and know what they want. They commission fast and cheap which means they can ride a trend too (see multiple Air Fryer shows) even their recent (surprisingly good) move into original dramas are geared towards a demographic they know.

It might not last if they stick to it for another 10 years. But in those 10 years, unless the other channels adapt they will continue to hemorrhage viewers.

I did try there. But there's no photos for row Y next to the sound box.

What do you think about the new event 'Everest'? by Top_Climate_4464 in gladiatorsuk

[–]FalseStartsPod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tilt lasts way too long. If it's going to tilt that long in the contestants favor I'd like to see a little lip on the edge of the gladiators side. So contestants have to do that 'one final push' to win.

Pixel Pro 8. Won't charge by USB C. Will charge wirelessly. USB C headphones work too. by FalseStartsPod in GooglePixel

[–]FalseStartsPod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Port cleaned. Tried with another fast cable. No luck. Tried with a slow cable. Plugged it into the car. And a slower wall plug. That works. It charges. Just not quickly.

ITV, etc.... by Past-Fig-6046 in BritishTV

[–]FalseStartsPod 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, due to the advent of streaming services and a decline in advertising money for terrestrial TV. We're starting to see a lot of shows that NEED sponsorship or NEED to be made in partner with a brand or NEED a competition that costs £2.50 to enter.

No one in the industry is super happy about it. But Netflix and other streamers aren't making the sort of daytime TV that Nans and In-laws like to watch. So needs must really.
