I’m with you. I had to study the book at A-Level*, and then again when I went to university and both times saw me spiral in to an incredibly low mood, it’s relentlessly depressing as Hardy tortures Jude for hundreds and hundreds of pages.

That said I did like the bit where Arabella throws a pig’s penis at him.

There have been times when I’ve loved this show, and I do still admire it a great deal, but I now despise Richard to such an extent that I find it painful to watch. Given all his actions over the years I find him completely unsympathetic, and when things don’t go his way his childish tantrums, and bullying of others,

I’m pretty sure that if someone read the article after having been in solitary confinement for five years they wouldn’t be able to understand any of it at all.

The British original was really well written but extremely cringeworthy tv, so unless that’s your cup of tea than I imagine you won’t like it.

As much as I admire Hawking he also liked to hang out at Stringfellows, London’s most well known strip club, run by the horrendously sleezy Peter Stringfellow, so maybe he didn’t always have the best taste in things.

I was planning to watch this as I’m going through a nostalgic stage at the moment (I’m 8 films in to a Steve Martin marathon) but then you mentioned the dreaded words “David S. Goyer” and I decided to avoid it like every type of plague there’s ever been. 

Hopefully now he’s in a major new series he’ll do a new, even more scandalous Random Roles for the site.

I didn’t enjoy my first viewing of it but that’s because a friend brought along his new girlfriend to the cinema and every thirty seconds or so she would loudly ask something like “Who’s he? / Who’s she? / What’s going on?”. I don’t think anyone would have enjoyed it in such circumstances, and I bet about twenty

Add me to the list who’d love regular recaps, this show really is something special and I wish I could convince more people to watch it. At least a fourth season has been confirmed so we don’t have to worry about it’s future.

Funnily enough I watched Pennies From Heaven on Sunday, and yeah, to group it in with the others is a bizarre thing to do, it’s clearly a dramatic piece with a dark twisted sense of humour, and nothing like the others at all.

Now playing

I was the lawyer who isn’t Atticus Finch in our school’s production of To Kill A Mockingbird, which was a bizarre oddity, mainly as it was produced in the late nineteen eighties in a tiny village in Surrey, England. Where there were no black children in the entire school. God knows how anyone thought that “blacking

She was easily the best thing about Powerless (a show I was kind of fond of, but never achieved it’s potential) and I really hope she finds success now, she bloody well deserves it.

I saw and enjoyed the first two but a friend told me the next two were awful so I ignored them. But the fifth in the series is a great deal of fun so I’m looking forward to this.

I loved it personally. I didn’t expect to after the first episode but it improves with almost every episode, and by the end I thought it was a gentle, lovely little thing. It’s not the best show ever, sure, but I think the comparisons to Freaks and Geeks are pretty accurate, and I say that as a big fan of that show.

Waititi should read the recent Vision mini-series which of course also ended hilariously!

If they existed I have no doubt that both Larry and Hank would be in a lot of trouble in this current climate. Artie too, thinking about it.

It was a bit of a bizarre statement to make when the cast list also included Michael Ian Black, Thomas Lennon, David Wain, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino and Kerri Kenney-Silver (amongst others). I do think Showalter is a great comedian but Michael Ian Black would take the top spot for me.
