whathoI've been watching multiple episodes of Would I Lie To You? on Dave for two primary reasons:
1. David Mitchell's rants. They're ace, they are. He's doing something about ice-wardens right now. It's a BIT great.
2. Angus Deayton's silhouette OH GOD. I almost wish the whole thing were just a compilation of Angus entering the studio. He starts off doing a BRILLIANT THING behind a circle, in silhouette. In one he rides a bicycle and in another he's lying on a couch smoking a pipe and OH GOD, it's entirely beautiful.
But the autocue script. Is it anything than 100% pure offensive? It's so upsetting. It's like contemporary HIGNFY. I think Angus is trying to keep pace. Did HIGNFY always used to be this way, incidentally? I'm sure I remember being largely unoffended by the HIGNFY autocue script and by HIGNFY in general, while recently it mostly makes me furious, but I'm terrified I was just blind to it.
I also saw Dr Who this evening, though not in any sense on purpose. My cat decided she wanted to sit on me, which has never happened before, so I stayed very still and quiet and watched Dr Who. Mostly I thought it was a big pile of wank. But I'm not very open to the idea of Who's being good these days. I don't know. I couldn't understand a word Billie Piper was saying through her ill-fitting dentures. I liked that David Tennant wasn't in it. I can't be doing with Rose. RTD protests too much. I can't believe they're using Bad Wolf again. It doesn't signal the end of the world; it signals a whacking great red herring. Doesn't he remember? I did like the big plastic beetle. My brother says they stole it from 1973, only then it was a spider and the prop was better. Or something. I don't really know.
Also my mother bought me a bus ticket today so I could go swimming with my brand new noseclip. It was grand. I didn't drown once.
