Did i miss the Gavin and Stacey catch up episode?

Stopped watching after the 2nd episode. The first season I watched because it was new and different. The second season I wanted to see how they might change things to keep it interesting. This third season it was a case of bored now, seen it all before.

The audio editing on this podcast is very clumsy.

Where are people getting tiger urine from 😂

Sorry, there are times people do smile when they're about to hit you or hurt you. It's a misdirection as well as a reflex. I work in security and nightclubs (in the past) and plenty of people will smile at you before they attack, so they can get in close. There are clusters of tells that will warn you: tension in the face, veins pulsing, indirect eye contact (looking slightly off the side of your face while coming in), hands behind the back, calmness that is counter to the situation or their other mannerisms, etc.

Absolutely loved the original Fall Guy

I thought this years Stricktly was awful. Chris was not the best Dancer.

When Richard says, it’s JUST oasis, you can listen to them at home? What a pathetic statement.

I enjoy the rest is entertainment. The question "Has strictly saved itself? " prompts the reply; as when asked regarding the health of eg farage or Trump, "Who cares?"

Hang on - are you losing the plot here ? Traitors is really well made and great viewing across generations and is getting millions of viewers - Why so high and mightily over this particular show The UK version is beautifully made and edited and is an exemplar - why not give some credit here So many other awful shows that you could pick to rip apart

The Brutalis is 3.5 hours. It's wild. It was not what I thought is was. you're not ready.

I lay my books in piles by subject woth bigger books at the bottom like triangles xx

I was on Pointless and The Chase within the same year. Slipped through the net.. 😂

My father was on several daytime shows, not really quizzy, but he was on countdown, two tribes, do the dishes, deal or no deal and countdown in the early 2000s. He mentioned there were a few that did the rounds on the smaller afternoon shows, as they already knew the way the shows were made. This meant they were quickly moved through, namely to ensure the shows were filmed as quickly as possible.

If do a celebrity version of the traitors I think should do mixture of celebrities and people who have done it before like Paul.

My A-Level history teacher was on quiz shows constantly. He sat at the front of the classroom and did crosswords all day. He was rubbish.

Already bored with traitors after the first one as the people on it and the whole show is sooooooo boring!

It's highly likely that the three 'volunteers' weren't volunteers and that their volunteering was a condition of their casting. Also, their luggage wouldn't have been on the train as it's a heritage railway from Aviemore to Grantown-on-Spey (end of the line) in the Cairngorms, which is some distance south east of Inverness, with Ardross Castle being to the north of Inverness.

The editing of this episode is terrible. It's usually pretty seamless, or at least understandable, but there are loads of jarring cuts this week. . . Irritating enough for me to do something I never do. . . write a comment on you tube.

A complete unknown ???

32:45 - God-daaaaayyyuuuum, Marina's absolute salvaging of Fossil Free Books from this point on was incredible.

The Hollywood studio thought that “young people won’t see movies without young people in them” is going to be absolutely smashed when Thursday Murder Club comes out 😊

I used to love Richard, after the strawberry and orange creams thing, I just don't know?!?!

How do bully journalists 'feel'? The answer is they don't. I don't remember anyone having any feelings about anything except getting a good story and then going to the pub over the 20 years I was a reporter. (Proper journalist btw, not some Nepo Baby with an Oxford degree who writes Op-Ed from their home in Belgravia.) There's an argument that the assholes who write it know that assholes like to read it. People are horrible. As for Ariana, she stole Wicked for me. Unbelievably talented. It's not my sort of thing, really, but I'm also a musician, I understand how much work this woman has done. She's actually awesome.

Totally disagree on the trailer conversation. HATE trailers that show you the whole movie. Much much rather something give you a vibe, who’s in it (without spoilers), what the photography looks like. I’ve NOT watched far more films because of their trailers than HAVE watched because of them…

It’s an old tired format that needs resting for a few years. Once it would be THE topic of conversation on a Monday morning, now hardly anyone I know watches it any more and the few who do, do so only sporadically or in the background.

Cornelius O'Donovan was still using Twitter/X on January 10th, so reports of his death may have been greatly exaggerated.

Surely there is middleground between cookie cutter trailers and so esotheric you don’t know what the film is about?

First time listening due to the algo picking up my love of Traitors. V enjoyable, but the movie review was awful takes tbh.

It’s a lot like the Bermuda Triangle, is no mystery, but people want to think it is and don’t do any research.

Love Traitors haven't seen any of this series. I wait to the end and then binge it. But here's an idea: Lovely little task for an intern at the BBC: Keep doing the show as is, love it. But also do another version, edited so that you don't know who the traitors are. You can then genuinely play along at home. Great use for iPlayer there.

Love an interval! No more letting people out of the row/back in/having view blocked etc. Possibilitly people will only eat cooked food during interval (don't need those smells and noises, thanks)

Love Marina's takes on films. The only thing I disagree with is that they should put younger actors in the jurassic park film. What they need is competent actors and a good script. All the jurassic world films have been unwatchably bad so I do hope they put something good out that has broad appeal. Also I thoroughly expect James Gunn's superman to be a hit. The first trailer was awesome

Given its continuing mass popularity and obsessive following the answer to your question is…no.

I love this Pod and realise you are both very busy but seventeen minutes? Wrap them up for a decent slice!

Says the quagmire! Haha

Lovely to hear Cornelius O'Donovan's name pop up - he was my Maths teacher at school! I'm pretty sure he's still alive and well though...

Tom Cruise has never won an oscar.

But it works for Jeff! 😂

Friends of mine appeared on Pointless as a couple, within two years of him doing Tipping Point and her doing The Chase. So it clearly happens. I think they won on all three too!

Lilo and Stitch has made a huge jump up because of all the neuro-diverse kids who watched it, saw themselves in Lilo, thought Stitch was awesome and it then it became their favourite Disney film, just in case you wonder why it has gone up in people's estimations.

Trailers: the trailer for Babylon turned me right off seeing that film. It only seemed to involve Margot Robbie screaming a lot.

Is anyone like me coming in fresh at series 3 and feeling disappointed? There's so much backstory I feel like I've missed the boat. It's still watchable and moreish but kind of lame because the contestants mainly aren't that clever and come up with stupid reasons as to why someone is a traitor. I thought it would be smarter. Big Brother 1 was much better for intrigue. My idea would be to have a Traitors made up of detectives or psychologists and see if "experts" are any better at detecting the traitors. They'd have to be retired I guess or it could be career ending 😂

I prefer the side by side format rather than this jumping back and forth

Love them or hate them the Kardashians are masters of the cosmetic surgery procedures

BBC TV trailers are even worse than film trailers for giving away the cliffhanger resolution and other key moments of the upcoming episode. I've never understood why they don't just use the cliffhanger moment from the end of the *previous* episode as the hook to remind people to watch. The best TV trailers so far this year IMO are the Aardman promos for The Traitors, especially the one with Feathers McGraw in it.

6:17 Jimmy Carr had that done.

As Harry Hill would say, “FIGHT!!!!!!”

12 minutes in and I've had 3 ad breaks. I mean, come on.

All trailers now put me off the films they are advertising. That is why I almost never go to the cinema now because all film look the same and they’re all sh1t
