Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially
isnt that first one the guy who played Storm Shadow in GI Joe? Turning Get Out into a film about anti ninja prejudice, incredible work.

✨Have YOU played powerwash simulator and then gone on to powerwash something in real life? Do you have thoughts on how they compare? I want to talk to you for a story I'm working on.

Shares appreciated!
Thing is if he’d used sense a third or fourth time it would work, the repetition would become a rhythm, but that single repetition Is exactly wrong, incredible bad writing.
Coincidentally I found out today Anne Hathaway is an Arsenal fan.
AN APOLOGY: when I badly applied this temporary tattoo of Superman last night I had NO IDEA it was actually Ultraman, Superman’s criminal double from Earth 3, disguised as Superman. I commit to grow and change and wash it off in the shower at some point.

The radio sitcom I wrote, a really long time ago now, is getting another airing on BBC Radio 4 Extra, so the pilot is up on Sounds now. It'll only be up for 30 days, cos that's what the contracts were like back then. I said it was a long time ago. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

Watched over the garden wall with the homies yesterday and it was lovely as usual but in one of the last shots we all bolted up in our seats at the haunted duck man breaking perspective sticking out of the corner of the screen looking directly into the camera
At the risk of being a l’il bitch on the internet, that Omega thing absolutely isn’t true, he’s clearly the Time Lord version of Milton’s Satan, a fallen angel.

You would watch On the Air in the early hours while tired and wasted and be completely disoriented, then rewatch it at a reasonable hour while stone cold sober and have exactly the same reaction.
AIUI, and I’m sure someone more knowledgable will chip in to correct/confirm, budgets are so tight at a corporate level that all these decisions are delayed by the financial side, seeing if a co production deal is possible Etc.
There was an amazing period when I was in my late teens where you could watch David Lynch’s On The Air on bbc2 in the early hours on a weekend.
Say it’s 1am and everyone’s trashed. What was your go-to, post-rave TV pick?

Something cerebral enough for the high people, funny and weird enough for the drunk people but ambient enough for the couple of folk that had had too much?

For me, ‘Donald in Mathemagic land’ remains the gold standard.
The most baffling thing about Ludwig is how long it took to commission in the first place. it’s a comic detective show starring the star of a BBC1 panel show that’s on primetime seemingly every week! That’s the Jonathan Creek formula for TV gold ffs!
To be fair to the Ludwig guy he is writing golden age style murder mysteries which are the hardest thing on earth to write

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Ok here’s another of my badly scrawled working out for a videogame puzzle. What game am I playing?
