British Telly

So is that where "Good News Week" came from? Like GNW would seem to be an Australian version of "Have I got News for You", yeah? Does Anyone else want to give Benedict Cumberbatch a big hug after hosting that? He looks a little thrown, but he got through it and did a good job. He certainly has the right voice for being a TV host. Round of the Baskervilles - I may have just missed half the next round from surprised giggles and had to go back.

Also, Martin Freeman is an awesome host. I think I'd be petrified by the guests on that "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" episode. Ha! Yet he's all relaxed and finding the whole thing hilarious. &hearts &hearts &hearts &hearts

People are always trying to tell me that Australians are crude, but I actually think British TV proves we're not really crude at all. I'm always breaking out into laughter, because surely they didn't just say that! lol. I love British humour. It's so obviously where our humour comes from and yet it's not exactly the same as Aussie humour in my humble opinion. It's kind of brilliant, though! It feels like the British can get away with more... although GNW was pretty cheeky at times. Whatever, don't mind me.

Have you seen the Buzzcocks hosted by Tim Westwood yet? Where he refers to Pat Sharp's eighties mullet as "Business up front, party in the back"??? I nearly fell off my sofa!

Buzzcocks is far cruder than HIGNFY for the most part. But it depends on the host. Favourite this season has to be Jack Dee, but mostly because he looks like my big brother! Mr Cumberbatch did a pretty good job on HIGNFY though!

I don't know who Tim Westwood is... (or did you explain that to me in an icon meme??) But no, I haven't really seen any of these shows except maybe in passing. I noticed there was a lot of Brit TV in NZ when I was there... like cable stations full of it. Which is so awesome for you guys. ABC doesn't advertise very well and I tend to miss all the good stuff when it does make it to Oz.

Tim Westwood's a very annoying club DJ type person. Worst ep of the season!
