Tricky. Only three seasons of Arrested Development is a damn shame,
but there are rumours of a movie. Apparently Caprica has been cancelled before its time, but the book's not closed on that really, especially if Blood & Chrome does well. I'd very much like to see another series of Blackadder, as long as a level of quality akin to the second and third series could be assured.

As far as music goes, I have to say Faith No More, as they're my all-time favourite band and I never saw them live.

Both Tricky and Arrested Development were shit.
'Mr Wendel' is the gayest 'rap' record that wasn't by PM Dawn EVARR.

Hahaha
I can't stand Tricky, I was positing that it was a difficult conundrum.

*adopts Brick Top voice* you fucking prat.

I assume you mean the band when you say Arrested Development were shit, because that would be correct and to imply the same about the TV show would make you a cretin
(, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 16:24, Reply)
I have never seen the show
due to my hatred of the band. Merely seeing the words makes me feel sick.
(, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 16:27, Reply)
I can assure you that the two are entirely unrelated
I personally have always regretted the choice of title as it tells you nothing about the show and has the unfortunate connotations with a staggeringly awful band.

However the use of the words "only three series" should have been a giveaway that I was talking about a TV programme

You are both wrong about Tricky.
He was fucking magnificent live - admittedly all his talent was lost up his nose but up to 98 he made some great music.

Evolution, Revolution, Love
and other stuff on whatever that album is called are quite good if memory serves.

I think Blackadder series 2&4 were both far superior to 3

(, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 16:26, Reply)
Four was brilliant
but, for me, not quite up to the high water mark of Two and Three
(, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 16:27, Reply)
I have a soft spot for Three
Two was brilliant and Four was pretty much a masterpiece

I agree.
Series 3 has some of the finest moments of TV.

I am so tempted to swing into HMV and see if they've got any of the series on the cheap

You've got 4 and a half hours to get here
Or I'm starting without you.

That's literally as long as it takes on the train
So we just need to make concessions for a) me still being at work, b) me not knowing where you live or how to find it and c) the fact that I was kidding.

Can you wait until, ooh, August 26th?

I suppose so. On the condition that you don't talk about Glee between now and September.

Do you have the Blackobite rebellion skit.
I think it was from comic relief.

Yes
And Blackadder Black and Forth and the Christmas Carol one.

Series three should be archived and treasured for one reason:
It's great fun to show Americans what Hugh Laurie really sounds like.

Apparently during casting for House, the producer, Bryan Singer, was despairing of finding an actor who could nailt he required level of sarcasm
After getting the job, it wasn't until Hugh Laurie lapsed into his natural voice during a break in shooting that anyone on the crew realised he was English
(, Tue 15 Feb 2011, 16:44, Reply)
I can believe that.
See also an example closer to home: I am led to believe that Richard Coyle was halfway through filming the second series of Coupling before the producers realised he wasn't actually Welsh.

And it wasn't until the eight series of Red Dwarf...
...that they realised Craig Charles is a noncey, talentless cunt. Isn't showbiz funny?

Oooh oooh you are me AICMFP.

Blackadder and FNM.

Saw FNM 3 times in the early 90s. I had a slash next to Jim Martin in the bogs in the Venue in Edinburgh. Huge guy wearing a Stetson and a black leather waistcoat, stood pissing with hands on hips. Cool guy.

All I have to say in response is that if you saw them in the early 90s you must be older than me

I remember when all this were fields young man
First time I saw them was just after From Out Of Nowhere was first released as a single. I was in 2nd year at uni if I recall correctly.

The Real Thing is one of the greatest albums of all time. And if our resident muso Montgomery does not concur then he can wedge it up his musky bumhole. Sideways.

Last time I saw FNM was 1991
But then, I am fucking old. Patten more or less destroyed his entire sound rig by running an uncovered mike the full length of a metal grill stage. Deafened the front 20 rows, mind you. He then did a back flip off a 12 foot bass stack and landed flat on his back and somehow didn't end up as a quadrospazz.

I don't know, but I suspect some MDs may have been involved.
