March 7, 2022 at 7:09 pm #272161 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant I saw a still of the 1994 one. They use Microgramma in it. March 9, 2022 at 7:30 pm #272228 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant April 2, 2022 at 5:55 am #272667 WarbodogParticipant Dark (2017) April 2, 2022 at 8:55 am #272668 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant A) Dark is awesome, I hope you’re enjoying it. B) Whilst I didn’t think of this, by the time the show was done I had a load of Red Dwarf connections in terms of story and stuff which I find quite interesting, even if they are in no way deliberate at all C) LOL. April 2, 2022 at 11:35 am #272670 WarbodogParticipant I watched the first series at the time, then just stopped bothering to follow new things for a while, so doing it properly now. It’s like sad, German Back to the Future. April 2, 2022 at 11:39 am #272671 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant I did the same, watched series 1 then forgot about it. Picked it up again during the first lockdown and ended up binging most of of s02 and all of s03 in one night. The best bit for me is the casting, every character regardless of era is perfectly cast and could all well be the same person from different moments in their life. April 19, 2022 at 7:44 pm #273095 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant May 26, 2022 at 6:12 am #274082 WarbodogParticipant Various writers have contemplated the life lived backwards, but this page from Alan Moore’s ‘The Reversible Man’ from 2000 AD (1983) reminded me a lot of the end of the Better Than Life novel (probably open in a new tab to read). Four-page comic: https://imgur.com/a/KfgIAQL May 26, 2022 at 9:59 am #274088 Ian SymesKeymaster Wow, very much reminiscent! Also, that was great. May 26, 2022 at 10:45 am #274091 Jonathan CappsKeymaster If time is reversed then this must mean Alan Moore stole the idea from Rob and Doug. May 26, 2022 at 10:48 am #274094 DaveParticipant If time is reversed then this must mean Alan Moore stole the idea from Rob and Doug. That’s OK, because they stole it from Tenet. September 5, 2022 at 8:23 am #277001 WarbodogParticipant I was already alert for tenuous Red Dwarf similarities with that title. September 5, 2022 at 8:45 am #277002 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant September 11, 2022 at 9:36 pm #277337 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant September 11, 2022 at 10:37 pm #277338 RudolphParticipant September 12, 2022 at 5:52 am #277345 WarbodogParticipant September 12, 2022 at 6:58 pm #277364 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Nicely done, Warbo! September 15, 2022 at 6:45 am #277488 Pete Part ThreeParticipant You probably won’t get much love for that one round here, but excellent work. September 15, 2022 at 9:11 pm #277504 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Yeah I’ve no clue what it is. I still think it’s good though. Wish I did know it. September 15, 2022 at 9:17 pm #277506 WarbodogParticipant Yeah I’ve no clue what it is. I still think it’s good though. Wish I did know it. It’s the first scene from this. The Bodylanguage in Bodyswap just totally reminded me. September 15, 2022 at 9:35 pm #277508 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Ohhhh, cheers man! I’ve really got to watch that some time. I’ve seen clips of it and it looks like a lot of fun, and I’ve seen them all in other things and they’re all fantastic in those. September 16, 2022 at 4:06 am #277513 RunawayTrainParticipant Oh, very good! I never had any interest in watching The Office, now I’m older I think I’d probably appreciate the humour more but wobbly camera work like that drives me bonkers. It invokes a misophonia-like response, whatever the visual version of that is. (I tried watching Parks and Rec and just couldn’t take it; Superstore has some zooming going on but the camera stays steady so it’s fine.) September 16, 2022 at 5:04 am #277516 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant The Office UK is brilliant. But also possibly you need to have experienced it at the time to appreciate it as it sort of pioneered those shows and now you’ll have seen everything it did in other things. Parks and Rec is better than The Office US. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. September 16, 2022 at 12:54 pm #277524 Ian SymesKeymaster But also possibly you need to have experienced it at the time to appreciate it as it sort of pioneered those shows and now you’ll have seen everything it did in other things. I saw everything it does in other things before The Office, though. This is the main reason for my antipathy towards it (other than the fact that Gervais has gone on to become a monumental piece of shit), I have a contrarian aversion to being told how groundbreaking something is, when really it was just a cross between I’m Alan Partridge, The Royle Family and Operation Good Guys. Also because it set a template for how sitcoms would evolve over the next couple of decades, when I really liked how sitcoms were before. I have a similar disdain for Nirvana for the same reason – they heralded in the grunge era and in the process killed off the glam/hair metal era which is my fave. Not that this is the fault of the show itself, and I do like the first series and the concluding specials (went off the boil a bit in S2 imo). Lots of great moments that I still find myself quoting, the quiz episode in particular is brilliant. September 16, 2022 at 1:42 pm #277525 Flap JackParticipant The Office was groundbreaking because it was the first sitcom to be set in a workplace. September 16, 2022 at 2:04 pm #277526 Jonathan CappsKeymaster it was just a cross between I’m Alan Partridge, The Royle Family and Operation Good Guys And that sketch in The Day Today. September 16, 2022 at 2:12 pm #277528 WarbodogParticipant Parks and Rec is better than The Office US. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. I only watched Parks and Rec a couple of years ago, but quit at the start of season 6, my honed sitcom senses wanting to avoid witnessing another decline into mediocrity. Don’t know if that was the right call. September 16, 2022 at 2:30 pm #277529 Jonathan CappsKeymaster I would say that was a bad call. I enjoyed it right until the end. September 16, 2022 at 2:34 pm #277530 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant I saw everything it does in other things before The Office, though Perhaps I should have said popularised then. Don’t get me wrong I’m not sat here quoting it or even rewatching it, I think I’ve seen it three times ever. But it did have a massive effect on sitcoms. Which, granted if you didn’t like that then that’s a bit shit. Bit I think as well as setting a template for sitcoms, it opened up other possibilities too. Particularly with the great single camera, no audience sitcoms that you get a lot more of now and are often quite phenomenal for it. I only watched Parks and Rec a couple of years ago, but quit at the start of season 6, my honed sitcom senses wanting to avoid witnessing another decline into mediocrity. Don’t know if that was the right call. If you thought it was about to drop off then you probably did make the right call. I really enjoy it right to the end but some people really don’t like the last series in particular. I think the criticism are unfair but I also recognise where people are coming from with that. September 16, 2022 at 2:53 pm #277531 UnrumbleParticipant Parks and Rec is better than The Office US. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Another in agreement here. Recently finished a re-watch, the opening theme gives me an endorphin rush every time September 16, 2022 at 2:57 pm #277532 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant If you didn’t know, Rob Lowe has a podcast with one of the writers called Parks and Recollection, they just finished series 3 recently. Very good and interesting stuff. Also not overly long and wanky, its a tight 40mins each episode. September 16, 2022 at 3:28 pm #277533 UnrumbleParticipant If you didn’t know, Rob Lowe has a podcast with one of the writers called Parks and Recollection, they just finished series 3 recently. Very good and interesting stuff. Also not overly long and wanky, its a tight 40mins each episode. Been following it since day one. It manages to tread that same line the show did, of everyone being supportive and caring of each other without it being overly mawkish. September 16, 2022 at 4:18 pm #277535 RunawayTrainParticipant The Office was groundbreaking because it was the first sitcom to be set in a workplace. Please tell me that was a joke, deadpan mode? September 16, 2022 at 4:59 pm #277537 International DebrisParticipant Particularly with the great single camera, no audience sitcoms that you get a lot more of now and are often quite phenomenal for it. September 16, 2022 at 5:14 pm #277539 Flap JackParticipant Please tell me that was a joke, deadpan mode? Well, as you said please – it was, no cause for alarm. January 10, 2023 at 3:28 pm #281317 Stephen AbootmanParticipant 38 seconds in: https://twitter.com/AccidentalP/status/1612829653055508483 February 24, 2023 at 9:59 pm #282729 WarbodogParticipant February 26, 2023 at 4:58 am #282767 WarbodogParticipant (In this wacky theory, the rogue planet Venus finally settles into orbit as Garbage World did). March 10, 2023 at 6:12 am #283038 WarbodogParticipant Sadly, hard SF realism fans: For the ramjet to work, it has to have a frontal scoop hundreds of kilometres across. March 10, 2023 at 8:42 am #283042 FormicaParticipant Great, now we’ve got to retcon the size of the ship again. March 10, 2023 at 9:13 am #283043 DaveParticipant March 15, 2023 at 3:45 pm #283166 WarbodogParticipant March 20, 2023 at 6:33 pm #283293 Nick RParticipant “A Red Dwarf…!? Huh…” March 20, 2023 at 10:16 pm #283300 StarbuggerParticipant “Nah, nothing here. Weeell, nothing dangerous. Weeell, not that dangerous. You know what, I’ll just have a quick scan, in case there’s anything dangerous…” Reminds me of: “No, don’t go, you’ll like them! Well, some of them. Well, one of them… maybe”. March 30, 2023 at 12:28 pm #283614 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant From a recent episode of The Cleaner. Greg Davis and Zoe Wanamaker jousting with mops March 30, 2023 at 12:42 pm #283615 DaveParticipant Ah, I put this in the Mundane Observations thread yesterday but it probably belonged here. Impossible not to think of Siliconia when that happened. March 30, 2023 at 1:14 pm #283616 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant Oh I missed that, sorry Dave! But great minds March 30, 2023 at 4:04 pm #283618 DaveParticipant You at least went to the trouble of providing a screenshot, showing up my lazy effort. March 31, 2023 at 11:31 am #283627 UnrumbleParticipant Thought this made as much sense in here than anywhere else (plus I couldn’t be arsed to search for too long). Listening to the re-issue of ‘Elephant’ by White Stripes (seminal album of my teens), the spoken word intro from ‘Little Acorns’ gave me strong vibes of Lister’s squirrel speech in ‘D.N.A.’: “She told me that late one autumn day, when she was at her lowest, she watched a squirrel storing up nuts for the winter, one at a time he would take them to the nest. And she thought, if that squirrel can take care of himself with a harsh winter coming on, so can I. Once I broke my problems into small pieces, I was able to carry them, just like those acorns, one at a time” No ‘strap-on bushy tail’ style riposte follows, but you can’t have everything.
