Phallic "Go Find It" Advert

· ·

Phallic "Go Find It" AdvertSometimes the English are a little fickle about the stuff broadcast on TV and radio. People complain about insults, innuendo and out right misbehaviour (though this last one wasn't actually initially heard by anywhere near as many people as those who complained), but no one seems to have made any complaints about Ford's "Go Find It" advert gracing our TV …

Botox Ads Now on UK Telly

· ·

Last night Claire and I were sitting on the sofa chatting with the telly on. We weren't particularly watching it at that point, it was just on in the background.

Whilst chatting, I happened to glance at the TV as an advert was finishing. Something made me look. I don't know what. Maybe it was something said during the advert, or…

Timmy Time

· ·

Timmy TimeI've been a fan of the work of Aardman Animations ever since I first watched Morph and Tony Hart as a child. Subsequently I've seen all of the Wallace and Gromit animations and I like to keep an eye on, though not always watching, their other animations.

Now do you remember A Close Shave? Do you remember the ballsy sheep, Shaun…

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

· ·

Claire and I have just finished watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and much to our surprise, it was a lot better than we were expecting.

It's a story about a man, excellently played by Brad Pitt, who's born old and ages backwards (IMDB provide a fuller explanation of the plot). The movie is very well done with Brad Pitt…

Christmas is Upon Us Again

· ·

I wonder if the "economic downturn" (read that as "the consequences of some super greedy bankers playing silly buggers with other people's money") has caused …

Jozi - H

· ·

Tonight I was flipping through the channels on our Sky box (I don't subscribe, I just see what I can get for free) and stumbled upon "Urban TV" showing a dreadful South African drama - "Jozi - H". It's apparently a medical drama set in "Johannesburg's trauma unit" in a kind of ER style. One question: Which one? Jo'burg has …

The Snowman

· ·

The SnowmanChristmas isn't Christmas without certain things, and one of those things is the old classic kids movie The Snowman. The most well known part of the whole movie is when the boy and the snowman go "flying through the air" - sing along everyone... "We're walking in the air...".

Unfortunately it's not on TV this year, but fear not, Irn Bru's…

The Mighty Boosh

· ·

The Mighty BooshLast night, whilst waiting for the re-run of Wednesday's Heroes (brilliant TV series) episode, I encountered The Mighty Boosh on BBC 3 for the first time. Well, encountered probably isn't the right word, I've heard about it before, but never actually watched a full episode from start to finish.

Now I have, I'm not sure if I need to add it…
