Enjoying Good Omens. Never been a fan of Terry Pratchett, mainly because he was so suspiciously productive. I've always believed in husbanding one's talents to the point of suppressing them entirely. Oh, the many great works I nearly created! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUJoR4vlIIs #TV

@strypey The Gavin Richards 1980s English #TV adaption is a classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p10xejjf0pw

The wonderful thing about 70s/80s #TV is the way hair gets shorter whenever somebody goes outdoors. It's easier working around problems encountered while filming on location by modifying what's later recorded on tape in studio than vice versa, so location filming is always done first.

"When asked what my favourite #TV show is, I always say it’s not Doctor Who, because that’s too big to be a ‘favourite TV show’, it’s more of a lifestyle choice." #q Paul Cornell #DrWho

#TV looks so much better in black and white. As I very young kid, I would rather watch the Brady Bunch than #DrWho, until on a school holiday stay with my grandparents, I watched it on their portable B&W, and decided it was the most brilliant thing ever. Later, inspired by Woody Allen's late-70s monochrome films, I used to turn the colour all the way down on our TV. It makes everything look better. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/nov/08/uk-households-black-and-white-tv-licensing

I still wonder why my parents thought it so important that children go to bed at 8:30 sharp. Perhaps they thought I'd benefit from waking refreshed, turning on the #TV, and enjoying a few Open University broadcasts before dawn. Not to mention The Thunderbirds, Bonanza, Danger Man, Gomer Pyle, Jackie Gleeson, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In…

How on earth is "Super-recogniser Squad" not a #TV show? http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/18318

I think reality #TV should widen its scope, beyond competitive building and cooking, to other professions. Consider what some enthusiastic amateurs, dramatic music, and portentous voice-overs could to do for accountancy, cardiac surgery, or prostitution. "It's day three in the bawdy house, and a now inconsolable Dave has failed to impress his fifth John of the day, while for his notoriously slapdash wife Cindy the silver lining of a botched triple bypass is that her patient is now in no condition to complain about the late lodgment of his tax return."

When popular culture is priced by weight: books thicker than they are wide. https://xkcd.com/2005/ I blame ad execs-turned-authors Fay Weldon and Bryce Courtenay. Pursuant, the requirement that movies be part of a "franchise" and #TV that can only be appreciated in season-long binges. #xkcd

There's some woman on #ABC #TV at the moment talking about how her move from #Sydney to #Sawtell resulted in so much less stress that she hasn't had a drink in 11 years. <sarcasm>OMG! Same here!</sarcasm><slurp />

So, ah. This was a thing. Oh goodness, the company we keep whenever we switch on that wretched box. http://brucesterling.tumblr.com/post/174409609908 #TV

#RIP Rodney Bewes, #UK film and #TV's universal best mate. Bob Ferris in the Likely Lads and Billy Liar's Arthur Crabtree. Also great in Resurrection of the Daleks, a comparatively rare example of 80s #DrWho celebrity stuntcasting actually working. http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2017/11/rodney-bewes-1937-2017.html

#OMGA, broadcast #TV. "We have to get real here. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think outside the box. We'll never cooperate unless we work together. Are you even ready to hear what I'm trying to say?"

@kat With rising "production values" #TV has developed a phobia for dialogue (not to mention humour). If you can't say it with alternating blue and orange saturated colour palettes, meaningful facial expressions and explosions, it doesn't get to air.
-
@kat Don't miss the unfairly maligned #TV series. It came after the radio, LP, novelisation, towel, etc. and is IMHO the most polished version. Apart from the low budget and lacklustre direction. But oh! The "computer" animation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbWAwynNf-0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuumnjJWFO4 #H2G2

#TV informs me there's such a thing as a "revenge body". As in "you broke up with me, now look how sexy I am!" Um, okay, good luck with that. Personally, I sport an "unprovoked attack body". Nobody did anything to deserve having to look at it, yet here I am.
