Monkey Dust is so bloody dark in places.
The suicide Dad, bloody hell!

I still do Ivan Dobsky impressions every now and again.

Psychoville.

Forgot how good this is. Much better than series 3 of League of Gentleman.
David is brilliant.

The Pauline episode is good. The rest not so much.

I'll mention (again) Amazing World of Gumball as a kids programme which includes astute exposition and gags for adults.

I've watched a bit of TV with the kids over the Easter hols and have been blown away by how consistently great The Amazing World of Gumball is. 

Just seen one episode (10 mins long) which was about explaining love. It's a sublime piece of TV. That kids' TV can be this great is uplifting. 





The whole thing is below and worth 10 minutes of anyone's time. 
Love, love, love, love, love.

Aethelred engaging in Joffery levels of cuntery in Last Kingdom tonight.

Over-the-shoulder cam work during the ambush scene was exquisite too.

Its the once every 3 year occasion I accidently watch Dr Who. Still shit.

I quite liked it.  The new companion's considerably less irritating than Clara, and Capaldi finally seems comfortable (maybe its the knowledge he's leaving).  

That said, I've noticed that I have a soft spot for what I would otherwise categorise as "crap" at present, so perhaps my quality filter is off.  Case in point - I'm really enjoying the second series of Legends of Tomorrow, despite declaring that absolutely nothing would persuade me to watch it again after the po-faced repetitive tedium of the first.  It turns out that the same thing that made me watch the first persuaded me to watch the second - namely my kids - and this is a lot, well, not better per se, but certainly much more fun.  They've realised that the whole premise of the show (C-list superheroes travel through time) is basically cheesy shit, and have embraced it.  The first episode doesn't just feature Nazis, a T-Rex, and lesbian sex with the Queen of France - it also spells out their new-found disregard for feigning any scientific credibility whatsoever by punching Einstein in the face.

So, yeah, maybe I'm just really in the mood for watching bad telly at the moment...  

(Though seriously, under no circumstances watch the first series of Legends - even in my current mood, it's still irredeemably terrible.)

Based on the episode "pilot" (call a doctor my sides have split) doctor who seems less serious about itself and the companion is far more fun. Clara had a similar initial feel though so we'll see how it goes.

New season of Archer has just started, if you shiny know what I'm talking about them you have seven series to catch up on you lucky bugger

BCS S3 E1.

Ten minutes watching a man deconstructing a car, it's like some fucking James May show.

New Bear Grills Island. Loving Frank's  'leadership' skills by running off down the beach with the two jerry cans.  'Young Persons' Island - they forget to take the cans with them as they embark into the rainforest. 1 - 0 to the Oldies so far.

Having made fire, established Base Camp and purified water, Oldies party into the night. Youngun's go to bed early having failed to do anything. 2 -0 to Oldies. This is going to be a slaughter.

Nah, battle lines have been drawn here, they're not going to merge.

While he had the drive he's going to be a pain in the arse. You could tell that incident REALLY got to him.

Yar with Neil heavily involved they're getting a lot right it seems.
