Never is there a time for more Meades.than now

[@jasonmarson7870]

I love how he manages to take the piss and yet remain respectful!

[@paulcowham2095]

I completely agree Jason, his films are both fascinating and funny, a very enjoyable combination.

[@Bullhassocks]

The world needs Meades.

[@nelsano3]

Meades is untouchable

[@BelatedCommiseration]

Its so strange how the apparently whimsical and child friendly can, in the right light, look completely insane and almost frightening. Its the teddy ruxpin effect! But is so strange how there appears to be this fine line between two apparent opposites...but then in a way I suppose thats a metaphor for the sort of message Meades is trying to convey in all his docs. He just wakes up in his suit and then just waunders off...that sort of obvious unspoken dichotomy is always amusing to me.

Meades is who Brooker vainly aspires to be.

Now there's a gap best measured in redshift.

True

[@Evemeister12]

lol at the frightened kids

[@Stereolabdream]

Meades on France, like "Off Kilter" on Scotland makes you re-consider an obviously foreign place again...it's easy to forget that Meades spent 20 years doing the same thing on England for the "English"....abroad again...those words never seemed relevant at the time...now they do.

What's with that random KKK joke 😂

[@see6052]

Made me chuckle

[@snotwurfit]

They were referencing Birmingham, Alabama. Which was/is a KKK stronghold in the USA
