I’d watch Winslet read the phonebook, but this was a wonderful delight. The range she showed in just the first episode was remarkable and it was so enjoyable to watch her flex her comedic talents, which have always been apparent (see, also: Extras, among other things), but never the most prominent part of her career.…

Sounds like F1 will soon have an all sportswashing calendar. It’s race towards irrelevance continues.

Do you think when you have lunch with Daniel Day-Lewis, he’s normal-ish?  Or is he as up his own ass about, say, ordering a panini as he is about acting?

Was that the one where the cops open a fake fried chicken place to use as surveillance, but then the restaurant becomes popular? If so, I agree, and I will also check this one out.

Extreme Job was really good, so I’ll check this out.

Oh I cant wait for them to drop some of the greatest traditional tracks in Europe for some human rights abusing dictator with a terrible street course.

Shame.

Can they for the love of god stop with the terrible road tracks and race on actual purpose built tracks? Monaco definitely needs to be launched into the sun. It’s basically an F1 parade.

For example, we’ve never seen red on the Grid before.

Imagine if this article had been written by someone who had actually seen Tron, rather than being vaguely aware of it through cultural osmosis and skimming Wikipedia.

Right? I wanted to immediately shout a my computer “SARK!!!”

Yeah Red was the color of the Master Control Program so that Dillinger tease makes even more sense. 

“For example, we’ve never seen red on the Grid before.”

If you want anything reasonably priced, you’re getting stuff produced out of China.

Remember that AT&T outage?

Have you watched Upstart Crow? Starring David Mitchell as William Shakespeare, you could consider it a spiritual sequel to Blackadder II (especially since it has the same creator).

Getting a bit of an Upstart Crow vibe from this, which can only be a good thing! (That also featured Noel Fielding as the composer Thomas Morley.)

I remember when everyone laughed at Honda, Yugo, Hyundai and Kia. They filled an important need - cheap cars that people could easily fix or repair and also sipped gas. Frankly I would love to see more of the Chinese cars because they’re clearly better anything the Big 3 are pumping out, as already shown in Europe.

Having driven and been driven in Chinese cars, they are nice and quality is the same or higher than the traditional manufacturers. There is a reason why China is the leading manufacturer of EVs. 

Looking forward to this. Tamsin Grieg is a national treasure.
