What are you watching tonight?

[Worthy4England]

But I think they were treading a fine line with all guests not to interrupt or annoy them too much, presumably as they don't want to deter others from going on it. Not sure they need guests.

me neither... guests don't work well on a show like this if your primary focus (a-la-Carr) is to make a joke about them being called Bjorn - but as the interview unfolds discover that they might actually be a genuinely interesting and engaging person to talk to properly - but you spend most of the stupidly tiny amount of the time you have allowed yourself crow-barring in your pre-planned gags and reassuring the audience that maybe it would be worth inviting him back one day - because, actually, they'd rather listen to him than you....

But without the X made a better fist of it than Y stuff. It all came across as too contrived and didn't work very well.

[thebish]

it was show number one though - maybe they will all relax into it a bit as it unfolds.. I thought they all looked a bit self-conscious...

She's a proper funny one that Laverne.

Sometimes she's fit
Sometimes she's rank

sounds like that episode of seinfeld

[Lofthouse Lower]

Great shout. Love that show.

[Bruce Rioja]

Ha - good point.

Really like Brooker, but since he married that Blue Peter bird I think he has lost his edge and is in danger of becoming one of the people he was usually so good at slagging off.

The problem with TV critics is that they're all desperate to be on TV.

My degree, was rather higher in classification than his 2:2...

Which is probably how I can recognise him for what he is.

Smug, unfunny and totally crap without a script.

My fecking God!

Oh dear, Worthy.



Is there a T-W Wanker award for Worthy4England?

I think (I hope) he was taking the piss. I think.

I think (I hope) he wasn't taking the piss.

Egotistical twattery at it's finest.

Nah. I read back through it several times first.

Although very early in the year Worthy has already laid claim to this TW trophy:

Brucie always responds well to those....

I always suspected W4E was clever. Glad to be proved right.

Very good.

I'll be giving this a go...

The Killing

Saturday 22 January
9:00pm - 9:55pm
BBC4

1/20, series 1

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, put a few beers in the fridge and book a pizza delivery; you're going nowhere on Saturday nights for the next ten weeks. The Killing is, indeed, thrilling; a 20-part detective drama (shown by BBC4 in double bills) following day by day the investigation into the murder of a young woman. It's a Danish production with English subtitles, but this in no way distances a British audience and you will quickly get lost in a deftly plotted, dual-stranded mystery full of great characters. The star is Sarah Lund (Sofie Grabol), a decent, hard-working, not-at-all-maverick (hooray!) senior detective who is spending her last day with the Copenhagen force before she leaves to start a new life in Sweden with her boyfriend and son. But the murder of a teenage girl takes hold of Lund and refuses to let her go. Apart from Lund, a clear-sighted, intelligent woman who operates without flash or bombast, what's really spellbinding about The Killing is its refusal to shirk from the very real aftershocks of grief and horror caused by a sudden, violent death.
