The Poles Are Coming!

Andy — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 19:49:00 +0000

Well in case you missed The Poles Are Coming! last night on BBC2, a programme from the BBC’s White season, I have managed to condense an hour programme into three key clips.

First up from Lithuania, Tomas Jankovicius lets us know how hard he works, and what he gets for it.

Second, from Poland, Mariusz points out that there is something missing from the fields of Peterborough.

And finally, outside the Job Centre, we find the English.

Say no more.

For more information about the BBC’s White season visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/white/

To watch the whole of The Poles Are Coming! (if you’re quick) visit the BBC iPlayer.

And for an indication of how I managed to get these clips, Matt Deegan unashamedly reveals all.

Great advert. Shit paper.

I’ve been told that this advert has been on the tele for ages! Just shows you how much I watch ITV really… Anyway, after a little aside on the Spooks trailer I thought I’d highlight this as well. A nice bit of stereotyping [what more would you expect from the Mail] combined with a Gladiator-esque battle scene [the one at the beginning in Germania]. Lovely.

…and is that Frankie Goes To Hollywood I can hear?

…’Two Tribes’, ah, I geddit.

Spooks: Series 6

Andy — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 11:12:00 +0000

Arrrrrrrrrghhh! Yes that’s right, this Tuesday at 9pm will see the return of BBC MI5 drama Spooks. I am very excited.

The last series was absolutely fantastic, every episode and every subject matter was so spot on with today’s current political climate. It was almost as if the episode had been recorded the previous week rather than the previous year.

Below is the trailer for the latest series, which when I saw it on BBC2 last night, I thought “Hmmm I wonder what the music is for that”. As it so happens I didn’t google to find out but instead forgot about it until just now when I was playing the new UNKLE album War Stories, and realised its a track off that album called ‘Chemistry’. However I do feel somewhat deflated since the comments discussion on the youtube page said that anyway. Well… I found out on my own, honest.

Either way, you may or may not be able to find the track following this link at the Hype Machine which will no doubt reveal a hundred different blogs saying what I’ve just said but several weeks earlier. Ah well.

Skins

Andy — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 18:09:00 +0000

This looks good. Skins is a new drama coming to E4 on January 25th. Despite the trailer doing a who’s who of clichés, I reckon you could probably apply 50% of them to your own mates. Spot the actor who was last seen with an equally mop top hair cut wearing too much wool and co-starring with Hugh Grant.
