Bizzare Buzzcocks Behaviour (part two)

Really?! How does this witchery work?


Oh God - it's beyond me to actually EXPLAIN it! :eek: :confused: :D

Dub will know though (having started the bit torrent thread)!

But I downloaded the Bill Oddie NMTB just this week (from uknova) and it was a pleasantly fast operation. :cool:

but i can't get ON UKNova :(
 
Oh :(


To be fair, it took me MONTHS of trying, so just keep banging away at it ( <-- :eek: :o :confused: ) and you will get in in the end.

Surely somewhere else would have it? Maybe not. :(

Of course Turner wouldn't be "vehemently against it", she'd do anything to get her face back on terrestrial telly, including taking a load of insults from Amstell. Same goes for Feltz.

What Amstell says in that interview is actually worse than what I accuse him of as he seems to be suggesting that there's some "cosy, I don't mean it and we're great mates really" element to the stuff he comes out with on Buzzcocks. What a load of back-slapping, showbizzy bollocks dressed up as "dangerous telly".

No, i think he's half joking when he says that too, and the other half is playing the game to make sure they still get guests.

Let's hope he's half-joking...

Why would they want Turner, Feltz and GMTV woman as guests anyway? They have nothing whatsoever to do with the subject matter of the show, know bugger all about music and haven't got an ounce of wit between them. They're just there to have lazy insults tossed at them.

sounds perfect

I'm willing to admit that insulting Feltz and Turner is never an entirely bad thing... but it's not exactly original, ground-breaking or even particularly witty, is it? Everyone hates them already and it's too easy.

it's a BBC2 comedy show, not a new paradigm in media criticism. What are you expecting to happen?

Wasn't suggesting it was, I just expect a bit more from people as supposedly talented at comedy as Amstell, Jupitus and Bailey. What will they attempt next week? Shooting fish in a barrel?

I know what you're saying, but just because they're easy targets and *everyone* hates them, I do think to take the piss effectively in a way that's funny and not just cringingly embarassing is a talent held by the few.

imo when I see Jonathon Ross trying to the same thing when he interviews he falls into the cringing category for example...

:) :( :eek: :mad: (My five year old wanted to pick some smilies, so they've no real relevance to my response btw...:) )
