Being Human

Being Human is a show on BBC Three that started over the weekend. It's based in Bristol right near where we recorded the album. It's about a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost who share a flat. I could elaborate but I think if you've read that you've already decided whether or not you want to watch it on Sundays or of course on the BBC iPlayer. I like it so far.

Ha!

That sounds wrong.

Nore more Lily Allen show

Lily Allen's truly awful TV show has finally been canceled. Straight after her first series somebody at BBC Three announced that it would be back with a second run. Nobody who saw the show could understand the logic of keeping her around. She even said herself recently that her show was shit. So after an acceptable period of reflection BBC Three have decided not to keep the show going. The reason I blog this story is this quote "We've got a gap because we're not doing another Lily Allen show," surely you can fill that with yesterday's Family Guy? Or back to back 2 Pints? Or some of the worst shows every televised such as 'Me and My Man Boobs' or 'The Wrong Door' or 'Clone' or 'Gavin and Stacey' or 'Trexx and Flipside' or 'Touch Me I'm Karen Taylor'. No offense BBC Three but your whole schedule is one big "Gap". 'How Not To Live Your Life' is cool though.

This month I shall mostly be watching Rabbit Chat & Date on Freeview channel 102

Do you remember when you first saw QVC? How hypnotized you were? Same with Bid.up.tv. Do you remember when you first saw that ITV late night quiz thing? How gripped you were? Well I introduce to you, brand new for 2008, the latest cult television craze Rabbit TV Chat & Date on Freeview Channel 102. Jack discovered it by accident yesterday and we ended up watching it on and off all night (between BBC Three's Family Guy episodes). It's nothing special, just a dating website on the television, but it's got a special feature! Oh yes! you can see the faces and descriptions of the people talking! On a constant loop!. No longer do you have to theorise the appearance of PUPPET! (who it turns out has "Rasta vybz") or PLUSSIZEPRINCESS (she's plus size and she's ready to mingle). Not being a regular on the chat-date circuit I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the lingo but I'm picking it up. I haven't quite got my head around "No time wasters" yet though. I don't think I want to.

I'm generally on the forefront of time wasting TV phenomenons so if you know what's good for you you'll hop on board with the quickness. I'm thinking of setting up an account to chat up some sexy birds ending every sentence with "THAT ONE TIME OUT JULY 21ST". That would be genius.

Summer Heights High

No offence Lily Allen but you almost ruined BBC Three! No matter, Summer Heights High is here to save the day! Best new comedy in years.
