Oedo 808

This thread smacks a little of people prematurely writing their own obituary. The taste of decay and bitterness is palpable. Anyone who didn't realise a few of the slots would already be handed out or at the very least short-listed is highly naive. I would have been happy to do a slot just to play a gig but to get all excited about playing the Northern Lights festival would have been ridiculous in the extreme.

I felt like this last episode was a denouement more than anything else. For me the climactic moment of the series was in episode 9, this was mostly leading you towards series 2.

I probably preferred the content of the first series, but I agree that the bits with Armando Iannucci were an improvement on the sketches. The one he did about political correctness with regards to the naming of dead prostitutes was amazing.

The first series is on seesaw here: Watch Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle online - SeeSaw -I don't think Stewart Lee is as 'on the fringes' as he makes out, it just plays into his style/persona to portray himself that way.

On the night the video in the OP was taken the door fee was 4 if I remember correctly.

How many of these showcases are there?

Got to be honest, lost interest. Too much religion pish in it too.

Lord of The Rings is like Game of Thrones in the same sort of way that Star Wars is like Star Trek or Superman is like Batman or Hot Tub Time Machine is like Back To The Future or Rawhide is like Unforgiven or The Beatles are like The Stones or Penguins are like Puffins or Bagels are like Doughnuts or Lions are like Tigers or Grape Juice is like Wine or I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is like Butter or a Square is like a Rectangle or Chorizo is like, you know, Sausage.... but at the same time it's not really like that.

Aye, love it

I hear U2 is quite popular there

Most useful post on ab-music in a while. Can someone rep this for me please? Thanks.

I give up. What is it?

I've got a long bus journey ahead of me today so I might just pass the time by mucking around with it. I like the idea of them stuffing their faces in the morning so they get their money's worth... and spending the rest of the day totally bloated, passing gas.

She'd make a good housewife. Gutted she didn't do a crabdance.

It's not too late Graham! ...and if you want me to be your best man I see they've got a speech template so there's a money saver right there! Those are usually so costly to write.

That's cool!

This is what happens when you have a Conservative Government in power.

Or did Syco release the claims about the show being a fix themselves in order to grab all the publicity for Ronan no matter the final result?

I think that would make for a great comedic back story.... My wife died of cancer. Before she died she was in a lot of pain and really suffering in the hospital but even through the agony and tears of it all she told me her dying wish was that I come on Britain's Got Talent and perform for the nation her favourite joke. Anyway, a man walks into a clock shop, whips out his knob and puts it on the counter. The girl behind the counter says, "Excuse me sir, this is a clock shop, not a cock shop." So the man says, "No worries, just put two hands and a face on this then."

Whatever they want to happen. Most likely you'd be treated as a risk to their big investment and not get on the programme. I think there are something like 3 auditions before you can audition in front of the cameras and then there is 'bootcamp' and so on and so on... plenty of opportunity for them to assess how easily you can be manipulated.

2004/5 I think. I'm not sure what happened, it was something really out of the blue like a heart attack or an aneurysm or something like that. One minute he was fine the next he was gone. I never heard about it until a few years after the fact. I do remember he was only 44 when he died.

I agree. TV is way better than it ever was.

This is getting good
