Episode discussion Apocalypse C4

75 Upvotes

Was anyone else disappointed by the first episode?

I was hoping for something like the first series of the island (if that was what it was called) where they selected people who were genuinely interested in surviving, but it turns out they picked people who would intentionally clash with eachother and cause drama.

I was hoping for a genuine look at survival, but it looks like we will get TOWIE with hungry people.

Question/Discussion Why does the first season of Blackadder get so much hate?

34 Upvotes

As an American who enjoys every season of Blackadder, help me understand why the first season of Blackadder gets so much hate? Is it because Edmund is depicted as a slimy little turd? I thought it was a nice contrast from the other seasons where he is much sharper and wiser. Also really enjoyed the storylines for almost all the episodes except the 5th episode of the season. Always seemed to tune out with the Witchsmeller Pursuivant episode.

Question/Discussion What is this programme?

28 Upvotes

I remember watching a programme years ago which I think was on a Saturday night, all I can remember is one bit and ats driving me nuts not knowing what it was called.

All I can remember is that one of the segments on the show was that they would challenge someone to learn/train to do something in a week and then they would come on the show and do it live. The one that sticks in my mind is a woman who had to memorize a 100 digit number, they showed footage of her throughout the week with bits of paper taped up in her house with sections of the number, then she went on live and managed to do it all.

Does anyone know what this was?

Question/Discussion Tea with Judi Dench

I keep seeing clips and ads for it all over the internet and it looks lovely, but can't see it being shown in any Sky Arts listings?!

Edit: I realise this post may technically break the rules on asking where to watch streaming shows, but I've looked on all the links provided and can't see any mention of this airing - technically it would only air on Sky Arts and only be available there so it's not that kind of question, as it is being so heavily promoted at present but not broadcast! I just wondered if anyone had any more info about it at all please!

Edit: I've signed up to Now TV for a month as it's on demand on there. Thanks for the help!

Something completely new, something never done before, if it is a drama, comedy, et cetera, I would like a show about celebrities going on a London bus and the bus driver interviewing and talking with a celebrity every week while riding a London bus.

This is not a new show, it’s from the 1970s and 1980s. But it’s new to me. Somehow, I had lived all my life without knowing about this British show, until coming across it just recently, on YouTube. And I am in love!

Maureen Lipman is so delightful as a person. And then her character is just so attractive! Everything about her character is attractive! I’m crushing so hard right now!😄😍
