Marshall Tap

Posted in Comedy at 8:24 am by alby

Just been playing with the BBC iPlayer. Seems someone’s been watching Spinal Tap; the volume control on it goes up to 11.

Have fun.

Twice yearly show

Posted in Comedy at 3:12 pm by alby

I do like “The Daily Show” but there’s rather a lot of dross on it. Thankfully they put some of the good stuff on their website.

I particularly liked this bit.

Have fun.

Have a look here.

Hurrah! And isn’t it cool that the french for Rabbids is “lapins cretins”?

Spaced reprise

Posted in Comedy at 7:06 pm by alby

For those of you not in the habit of clicking on the links to the right in this blog AND who also like Spaced, you may wish to click on the Andrew Collins link in the next few days.

Seems he hosted the Spaced retrospective at the BFI and he’s got the intro and Q&A on video on his blog there.

Thought I’d make you aware.

Have fun.

Done to Death

Posted in Comedy, Reviews at 10:28 pm by alby

Oh the magic of Charlie Brooker.

He’s just done a thing about elimination shows on telly and done a rip-off of The Apprentice. There was a wonderful bit of showing “the sidekick” (like Alan Sugar’s 2 buddies) as a high powered business person.

When doing the intro of the sidekick he used a bit of tweaked film with moody visuals and a nice and lovely backing tune and I quote

“Clubbed to Death – the most overused piece of backing music on telly”.

Well done that man. Ace show by the way.

Have fun.

It’s a sign!

Posted in Comedy at 8:02 pm by alby

Finally found it. I knew it existed but I couldn’t find it (not that I looked very hard). Now all I need is the “If you can’t see this sign, the road ahead is impassable” one.

Have fun.

Concord

I am agree with Rod. The Conchords are ace and you should all know that their stand-up show is on BBC4 this Tuesday evening. They have a full series starting on the same channel the following week (Tuesday again).

Ooh, hopes dashed

Posted in Comedy at 1:21 pm by alby

I just got another email from the “Genius” office.  I was all excited wondering whether my latest idea had been picked for the next series (the new series starts in October by the way).

Opened the thing and all it was was a request to try again with something as they’re going to do a TV pilot show later in the year.  Damn!

I’ll prolly re-write my last idea and even suggest a guest genius for that episode.  Ah well. 

Have fun.
