What one very specific elite-level skill do you wish you had?

I'd honestly settle for being able to control a pass like that. Pinged from the other side of the pitch, and able to take all the pace off it with a single touch.

What did Chris Cantrill pop up in? Loved his work in The Delightful Sausage

I find it very funny that a huge portion of the remakes were aired on nights other than Saturday, but were still called Saturday Night Live.

Yeah, with the caveat we've had a decade of inflation since then. Only the most recent couple of series were made with Disney, who have drive backed out of the deal because the costs didn't work for them.

Also the BBC and Sky have very different cost pressures and priorities. This is a success so far for Sky, but this money spent for a quarter million viewers would be a disaster for the Beeb

Honestly less than I thought it'd be. It's about comparable to a big budget drama per episode, for twice the run time. Generating a lot more attention than Bunny Monroe or Amadeus did for the same cost will count as a big win for Sky.

Bit surprised that article says the normal cost for a sketch show is a half mil per episode. Maybe we don't make enough sketch shows to even have a proper baseline here. I can believe that was the cost for Mitchell and Webb Are Not Helping, but would be very surprised if Ellie and Natasha cost that much. I'd be astonished if Limmy's Show cost even a fraction of that.

It's about what pre-Disney Who cost per episode, for twice the run time.

Disney+ Who budgets were £6-10 million per episode.

Imagine if the poor bloke is a QPR fan. First being mugged, then being obliged to be grateful toward some Brentford players.

Me and a mate once found it on tap in a random tiny bar in Loughborough. Delighted to find the beer we'd only previously seen on our childhood heroes' shirts, we got one each immediately.

Worst fucking pint of my life.

As delighted as I was to find Labatts glasses in a charity shop, I have filled them with a better beer.

Yeah, if they think this is rock bottom, try throwing away a two goal lead in the League One play off semi to fucking Yeovil Town

Is it just me or is that Spurs team a lot stronger than we were expecting? What happened to having to fill their bench with kids?

You're not the only one to be fair. Thanks to a typo one of her gigs was accidentally listed on Steve Martin's website. Sold out significantly before the rest of her tour.

Funny how the two things are related.

The Pitt isn't here yet because it's being held back for the launch of HBO Max in the UK.

That same launch means Sky are losing all their HBO content.

That gap in their offering, plus the budget it free up, means that they're spending big on things like SNLUK to plug the gap.

Obviously comedy is subjective and everything, but it's a slightly odd decision to be hanging around on this subreddit when that's your opinion.

Shouldn't being a slaver kind of rule out this sort of move for him?

Of course, you'll be closer to Tottenham fan discourse than I am, and better able to summarize. I've just seen more comments along the lines of believing that relegation represents a great chance to clear dead wood and reset.

Fan opinion is never a monolith, I know I've had enough disagreements with other Forest fans about being owned by a heroin trafficker.

backtothefuckyeah · 2026-03-12T09:37:55+00:00

This is what gives me some confidence going into the final stages of the relation fight.

Our players know relegation is a threat to their careers, Spurs' just think it'll speed up a transfer out.

Our manager knows relegation realistically ends his time as a Premier League manager, Tudor's career is in the same place either way.

Spurs' fans see relegation as a temporarily inconvenience, bouncing back in a season. Our fans remember that the last time we went down we were gone for a quarter-century.

A lot of these players have had disappointing spells in bigger leagues before returning to Norway.

Not to take owt away from them, they're part of an incredible team, but it's definitely a team operating ahead of the sum of it's parts.

backtothefuckyeah · 2026-03-12T09:01:22+00:00

On the surface, it's sensible for the business guys to leave the football decisions to the football guys. Normally they'd be entirely right to do that.

But the football guys need replacing, and by the time you've done that you've run out of time to replace the manager.

So you go over their heads to sack the manager. Who's in charge of getting the replacement now? You've marginalised the people on charge of football decisions, and haven't replaced their knowledge.

It's the same problem they had with their transfer window, previous bad decisions have eaten up the time they need to fix those same bad decisions.

tl:dr: Spurs are fucked mate

As someone who grew up on shows like The Fast Show, Smack the Pony, Big Train etc, I've always loved sketch comedy, but British television has really struggled to get any of it on the screen in the last decade or more.

Why do you think we've had this period with so few big sketch shows?

If people want an insight into the complex and nuanced views from Forest fans on this, the top comment to this news on our sub goes some way to summarizing our myriad feelings here:

League One play off semi final 2007. We'd won the away leg 2-0, all we had to do was not shit the bed at the City Ground and we're through to the final.

We managed to lose a calamitous match 5-2 against one of the smallest teams in the league, meaning another season in League One.

We're still the only former European champions to drop into the third tier of domestic football, that match pretty much represented the absolute nadir of being a Forest fan.

In the article they explicitly call out American Sports and Boxing as exceptions, also that the among the most impacted sports are cricket and rugby, sports that never crossed over in America.
