Ed209 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Utterly brilliant. Just gets better and better. I mean Capone, Lucky Luciano, Mier Lansky, Rothstein and Omar? Please .... I've only seen the first episode where they give a 2 second prick tease that Omar is in it. Excited about what he will bring to the show (don't know or care what his real name is, whatever it is he should just change it to Omar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minute5072 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Boardwalk Empire and Justified are two shows I really need to get round to watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifi Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Omar isn't in Boardwalk Empire for that much. A few fairly pivotal scenes, and comes into it a bit more towrards the end. Criminally underused, but there are some excellent actors on there. The guy who plays Nelson, the FBI agent is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexclark Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Keep hearing good things about Boardwalk Empire and I love Bucemi. I'll try and get round to watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipsteak Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I saw a few episodes when i was travelling in the states. Only a couple, and not always in order, but still really impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Human Planet on BBC1. Fascinating and a nice twist on the natural history stuff. Edited January 13, 2011 by Kowalski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Rob Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Is it any good? It's got the fella out of Deadwood in it, right? I haven't started it yet, but I read some good reviews about it. I'm most probably gonna buy season 1 There's also Shane from the Shield in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5co77ie Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Horizon's 'What is Reality' programme provided some fantastic dreams last night - now I'm back in this cosmic hologram! and I think at least a couple of million of me probably haven't got up yet.

jump Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Watched 10 O'Clock Live last night, what a load of shit. Lauren Laverne doesn't do anything, Jimmy Carr isn't funny (love how the live audience barely laugh at him) but David Mitchell & Charlie Brooker are fairly entertaining and there is not enough time for the discussions to happen.

It's not trying to be Question Time though, it's meant to be a comedy discussion show so more in common with say Have I Got News For You which I would actually prefer but Jimmy Carr completely kills the show whenever he's on and the Palin piece was crap as it wasn't funny or tell me anything I didn't already know.

rachbon Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 i thought 10 o'clock live was ok. i liked the bits with david mitchell and charlie brooker. lauren laverne was pointless, she's not the slightest bit funny and her presenting was shit. jimmy carr was a bit crap aswell. he just wasn't funny. i think it would have been better without the silly bits about tunisia and sarah palin. it could be really good if it was just charlie brooker and david mitchell, discussing the news and speaking to a few guests.

philipsteak Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 And it doesn't need to be live either. Just record it a few hours earlier like The Daily Show and Colbert do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) And it doesn't need to be live either. Just record it a few hours earlier like The Daily Show and Colbert do I'd prefer it if it was live, if it was prerecorded they may be tempted to add a laugh track after Jimmy Carr's jokes and the only bits with him I like is when he stands around gormlessly and realises only 2 people in the crowd are laughing.

Just record it a few hours earlier like The Daily Show and Colbert do yes it does. mitchell explained this on graham norton. politicians and the like aren't going to come onto a pre-recorded show incase you edit it in a way they don't agree with.
