Yes, great scene, Gav!

Quote: Leevil @ November 9 2009, 11:30 AM GMTLast night, I watched the whole of Extras series 2, and actually quite enjoyed it. Not the best sitcom, but some great moments. Opinion changed.
Well done.
Sir Ian Mckellen talking about his "acting process" is very good too.
"And you will learn the words, there will be no script on the night. And that goes for everyone..."
Robert Lyndsey was quite good too. Need to see more of him, in a non-My Family role.

An idea I think he himself would agree with, the amount of time he spends slagging off My Family.
Hah! I've not heard anything about that.
Quote: Gavin @ November 9 2009, 11:54 AM GMTBest Extras episode. The one with Patrick Stewart. F**king fantastic.
Patrick Stewart: So in my film, I play a man who controls the world with his mind.
Andy Millman: Right. Oh, that's interesting.
Patrick Stewart: Yeah. For instance, I'm walking along, and I see this beautiful girl, and I think I'd like to see her naked, and so all her clothes fall off.
Andy Millman: All her - clothes fall off?
Patrick Stewart: Yes, and she's scrabbling around to get them back on again, but even before she can get her knickers on, I've seen everything. Yeah. I've seen it all.
Andy Millman: (pause) Okay. It's a comedy, is it?
Patrick Stewart: No. It's about what would happen, you know, if these things were possible.
Andy Millman: What's the story, though, what's the ...
Patrick Stewart: Well, I do other stuff; like I'm riding my bike in the park, and this policewoman says "Oi! You can't ride your bike on the grass!" and I go "Oh no?" And her uniform falls off, and she goes "Ahh!" and she's trying to cover up, but I've seen everything anyway. And I get on my bike and I ride off. On the grass.
Andy Millman: [increasingly uncomfortable] So it's mainly you sort of go around seeing ladies' tits?
Patrick Stewart: Mainly.
I love that scene.
Didn't (obviously) watch the whole show last night, but on All-Star Family Fortunes (define "star") they had John Barrowman and his family.
Fair play for ITV for deciding that their audience could handle the concept of a gay man on a game show without them sitting there open-mouthed, staring at the screen. And even further kudos for the fact that his husband - or "partner" as they referred to him - was part of his team. (ITV audience's hairs stand up on back of necks and left leg starts to twitch uncontrollably.)
However, unlike if he had been a female "partner", his status in relation to John was mentioned like an embarrassing aside, before they cut swiftly away to the "hilarity". Also, they positioned his husband right down the other end of the line, with John's Mum, Dad and sister in-between them. Presumably just in case they became distracted from the thrilling game show concept and started to rim each other or something.

Quiet wasn't he. So introverted is John Barrowman.

Public transport is actually really good here, even in London.
The pricing, on the other hand, isn't so amazing.

Quote: Nil Putters @ November 8 2009, 8:53 PM GMTIf Cowell keeps these twins in it's a fix.
It's been a clear fix for a couple of weeks now. He wouldn't have stated that he'll "leave the country" this soon otherwise; reverse psychology.

It's not too bad here, although it's not perfect. I had my eyes opened when I went to Amsterdam and used the trams. They were awesome and always on time.
Quote: zooo @ November 8 2009, 10:43 PM GMTDon't worry, the only Death in Venice that lot will ever watch is on Living TV right now.
Bitch!
P.S. I have never heard of Death In Venice.

This doesn't mean it's a "fix". It means marketing man Mr Cowell is trying to manipulate the vote.
If he had Sinita ringing in voting for them for 24 hours - then it would be a "fix".
Quote: Tim Walker @ November 8 2009, 11:17 PM GMTWas it Visconti? Blimey, I could have sworn it was Zeffirelli.
Should have just written "foreign ponce". Covering all bases that way.

That's the best stuff Gervais has ever written.

Alright, alright; same difference though. I doubt Nil (or whoever it was I was quoting to) meant a fix in that sense.
