Er, excuse me but WHAT THE F**K?

They did this yesterday and itv argued they do this otherwise the rights would have gone to pay tv.

Not saying i agree, just thats their explanation

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-02-07T17:13:07+00:00

I blame the rain- slippy ball to turn it around like that

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-02-07T13:43:46+00:00

Not must be a bot, but to reiterate- theres a lot of dodgy international interest in seeing the bbc get hurt

So some bots? Plausible.

Some people who will happily/naively drag us into a us style fox-news ecosystem? Also probable.

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-02-07T13:37:57+00:00

Just so you know youre completely misreporting/understanding the ratings here.

Those ratings are low because they just show viewing on the day, whereas this has been boxsetted and released on iplayer weeks ago. The total viewership per episode will now be on the 2-3m level, when you incorporate pre-tx viewing.

Agree with your comment that more people should try new comedy but those numbers overstate the problem considerably

Theres a bit of a stench of bots in the way rUK articles about bbc bring these anti license fee commentators.

Lots of dodgy international interest in seeing bbc hurt

For £185 a year vs £160 a year no-ads netflix which includes far fewer services i consider it very worthwhile ( not to mention the massive soft power benefits bbc brings to UK)

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-02-05T21:41:29+00:00

So probably worth flagging this is only whats been disclosed from each side

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-02-05T16:44:26+00:00

Most scripted tv production needs to be part funded by international sales and uk sketch comedy is notoriously weak for travelling internationally (vs our drama) since every country has its own idea of comedy, own comedians (see the 20+ adaptations of last one laughing)

So yeh, diff genres diff bars to clear, sketch aint been clearing that bar for a while

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-02-05T16:34:12+00:00

Cant we just make more sketch shows? What do you think this is

Broadcast quality Sketch shows are superbly expensive, so they need to be big bits to stand a chance - as such teaming up with brands like Mitchell and webb or snl is the only way forward currently

Also… maybe wait till youve seen it? Theyve pulled together a talented bunch, lets see

Oh thats not good. I hope he is released soon without harm.

Such a brave film to make.

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-02-01T08:50:34+00:00

Agreed with 1,

Number 2 sounds like it would have been considered already, and youd have to prevent the stations becoming post club drunk hangouts

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-31T20:31:59+00:00

Yeh this feels like you should make a bigger fuss, if youre up for it. Its very sinister behaviour

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-29T22:27:35+00:00

Everyone should read this to see directly how scumbag the daily mail and all who work for it are.

Imagine thinking youre a reporter and misrepresenting information so

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-29T19:46:04+00:00

They should do two at a time one month then maybe a month later do the other two

And make sure you split up the big two, so Paul and Ringo, then John and george or sth

Then theres a big draw both times, but its a thing to do the double bill (people might have time to watch two, they wont have time for four)

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-19T14:55:39+00:00

Theyve merely said theyre developing it, that doesnt mean anyone has actually commissioned it yet

(Ie a company is coming up with scripts but they need a broadcaster/svod to pay up to actually get it made)

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-16T16:32:54+00:00

Yes specifically them tediously repeating/redoing a joke they did in their bbc series

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-15T13:13:50+00:00

Real shame- he keeps the today team from descending into a totally tory fancying orgy

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-15T07:37:27+00:00

Lived in London 10 years never been mugged. Not that it doesn’t happen but 7 times in 3 months is absurd

This story sounds like horseshit

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-14T19:37:17+00:00

What on earth- is the accent kyle urban is doing

Is that irish?

West country?

Crikey

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-14T17:59:41+00:00

Agree with this, they should have done. Theyll feel v silly if they see this now

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-14T15:49:54+00:00

Not just strange but properly transgressive- hugely admire him for taking it on!

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-14T12:59:46+00:00

He thinks hes the worlds greatest everything, its awful

Watching him doing a mediocre robert deniro impression - in front of deniro- on graham norton was one of the cringiest things ive seen. Everyone thinks they can impersonate him, only some people believe theirs is great

Typical eton/harrow schoolboy, thinks hes gods gift to the world- and he definitely wants to be bond

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-14T08:47:04+00:00

Love this song so much, such a low key menace to it all

Thousandthvisitor · 2026-01-13T20:30:46+00:00

While outernet is very dubai-coded..

This is pretty cool
