Why am I getting James Bond evil villain + henchperson vibes from Bazos and his wife.

I love listening to Richard dropping knowledge on the TV industry, this is going to be a great podcast. Also, Slow Horses is returning this week. It's a show that if it was on BBC it would be the next Line of Duty or Happy Valley. Have you seen it?

Yep. Saw the first season, and (foolishly?*) started the book series. Which I am up to date with. Sorry.... with which I am up to date. Excellent writing, and the TV series definitely lives up to the books. *Spoilers!!!

I think I saw a bit of one like it and then because it's not on the BBC, not seen it again. But then Anita was like that, s1 on the beeb and then s2 was on some sky channel, which I have, but may dump sky as tbh everything seems to be on streaming channel and not much on sky.

Really enjoying these podcasts

My new favourite podcast! Brilliant.

This will be really weird . I watched episode three first now episode one . I’m in my mid 70s and, back in the 70s film critics , local film critics would , excluding Pauline Kael, sound negative to give the impression they were smart . I really like you guys (you both are really smart)putting a positive spin on things good work. Happy new year. Hope there will be a lot more 👍🇨🇦🇺🇦✌️

Love love love Richard osman

the whole point of the original squidgame show is that making this new show is disgusting and evil. i cant believe they saw a fictional dystopian future and said "hey lets make it happen!!"

205 Million Bucks a day ..... there should be a law against it.

The thing you also missed about Squid Game is that the contestants are suing for the harm it did to them including nerve damage.

Yep apparently that red light green light game lasted all day and some times up to an hour between light changes.

I’m watching a Podcast about a TV show I have never watched and no longer even have the means to watch because I got rid of my telly a couple of years ago. I’m watching it because Richard and Marina are two people who know how to talk in depth about something and make it interesting and informative. An unusual concept these days.

How can you damage a reputation of lying corupt self serving *#@!

Just discovered this on KZread. A tough start with unreality tv, and game shows. I remember the generation game when growing up. But after that never paid them any attention.

We don't care about the filler chat -it's not there to explain to the audience but to fill time.

Loved it and impatient for next one already 😅

I've just found you and after watching 4 in a row I'm finding your audio levels are too low on 2 of them. [ this one included ] If you have any audio normalisation issues get your tech to play your video next to a MrBeast one. You will undoubtedly get the levels correct as Jimmy has never had complaints about audio levels in his videos, even at the beginning. PS often the individual on the right of my screen says a word that contains a whole sentence! [ the captions cannot keep up at all ]

In gameshows, starting with participant interviews, it shows a lack of confidence in the game. First show the game, and if the participants are exceptional, only then will the audience care about their background. Really it's true of any drama, any storytelling. First get the story straight, then go into setting, then go into characters, then go into plot.

I don't understand why netflix didn't either do a season 2 of squid game with the original showrunner or a kond of spin off system where each season is squid game on a dofferent country - so you do a European squid game in France or England or whatever then next seasons in South America etc etc instead of doing basically what Mr Beast did with the concept years ago at this point, very sideways move.

Can Marina swap with Alastair Campbell on the Rest is Politics every now and then? That would be perfect

Surprised that nobody dies in Squid Game… what’s the point? (😜)

Riveting stuff

I keep saying they need to do a series of Taskmaster with the 5 most recent Tory prime ministers. See how useless they are.

You told me how good a programme was after telling me what happens at the end. Please decide if you are having spoilers or not because it ruined the rest of the episode for me, wondering whether I should actually get invested in the thought of watching a show you are talking about whilst at the same time wondering if you were about to spoil it further for me

Loved season 1 of the Aus traitors. Hated. And I mean hated season 2 Australia. Awful casting. Mixing in ‘celebs’ like the US version, it was unwatchable.

The first half of this podcast sounded exactly like a Novara Media segment. I know it's a Gary Lineker 'vehicle' but if i wanted to read his Twitter timeline, I'd just read the bloody thing.

As someone with understanding, how do you interpret someone who is patronising but offers the ignorant no analysis or enlightenment? Asking for a friend.

Marina’s witty chronicles about politics are preferable to hearing her talking about entertainment. I hope one day she appears on Have I Got News For You.

Richard was wrong on his Farage opinion here and the public result shows this, not that ism a fan but both were wrong here

I honestly think Farage isn't trying to stand out, he's trying to blend in. Populism appeals to the working class, the more he's shunned and upstaged by others (more celebrity types), I think his popularity will grow with a larger public base. It will feed into the 'media establishment vs working/patriotic people' narrative. Much of the (albeit limited) discussion I've seen online is along the lines of 'he's not as bad as I thought, he's alright'. Which I have to imagine is, at least a part, of his goal. Hancock made the mistake of trying to get people to like him, so they didn't. People will appreciate Nigel as being more of a 'bloke' and less concerned with being liked. They'll appreciate the unapologetic honesty, as opposed to feeling pandered or appealed to. Just consider the fact that he ISN'T being picked for these challenges when you'd imagine there would be public sentiment for it, like with Hancock. I'm a Celeb has always seemed to be a show about picking your targets, a level of timidness can be rewarded. While I do agree, that this may all backfire and push him further into obscurity, it will also mellow his public image and I can definitely people growing in sympathy for him - which I find hard to believe isn't a goal of his.

I think you're right and wrong in what you pin down to his populist style. Populism is about appealing to an inferiority complex, that much is true. But it's also about attempting to achieve an authentic image of strength. If his goal is to blend in, he's failing. People self-mythologise. The goal of a populist is to allow people that luxury, while appealing to all of them simultaneously. Farage being a boring crusty old fucker isn't blending in - it's standing out in how bland he is. He's charismatic for a politician. For a regular person, he's a complete charisma vacuum.

@@rprobp186boring as hell too. “99% of people don’t care” but they spend the entire episode completely obsessing over him.

I've been listening to these in reverse chronological order after finding the videos in my recommended page and this is by far the worst episode, I'm glad they've steered more away from politics and more on how show business works. Farage DEFINITELY got the airtime he wanted, seeding little truths about the European Parliament and his personal politics to the ITV audience. Not only that, but every time he had an argument with Nella Rose she always, always came out looking like a complete fool and just bolstered Nigel all that much more. As much as Richard and Marina hate it, people did find Farage interesting.

“Farage is so boring.” “Farage has no personality.” “Farage was lucky, they didn’t want him and just had money left over” - then proceed to spend the entire episode talking almost exclusively about Farage. Don’t they realise they’re completely obsessed with him?

Yeah, he’s the human equivalent of a cat video on twitter, it’s fun to watch because “it thinks it’s people!”, Farage doesn’t realise how boring or inept he is so it becomes almost fascinating to see what he does in a new situation. He’s like a zoo animal.
