I CAN'T SLEEP but I discovered Robbie Coltrane as PROTO-HAGRID

[TVC15]

I was idly watching random shit in bed, and I finally got to watching the Blackadder Christmas Special, where I was treated to Robbie Coltrane as the Christmas Ghost:

now back to some CYE and hopefully eventually christmas sleep

You need to watch Cracker

You need to watch Cracker

I have.  It rocks.  I got the DVD sets cheap when my local shop was doing clearance.

[TVC15]

Coltrane is in Blackadder 3 too!

Yes!  As Samuel Johnson, no less.  I agree with Prole--that episode is the best of the third series.  I also like Byron, Shelley, and Colderidge's appearances, billed as "romantic junkie poets" in the credits.

my black adder torrent finished finally last night

now i can re-acquaint myself

Make sure you get Blackadder Christmas Carol, too.  It is also super awesome.  The woman that plays Nursie does an awesome Queen Victoria.

yessir

[TVC15]

Man, watch another ep of CYE or more Blackadder or some Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.  Decisions decisions.  It's going to be a pot of coffee day at work tomorrow.

Darkplace.  Episode 3

[ToxicAdam]

Please watch "Let it Ride".

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

to me he'll always be a Nun on the Run.

Darkplace.  Episode 3

I watched episode 2 (the first episode I have ever seen--I was getting format errors on my Zen W on episode 1), and that was some awesome shit.  If the whole series is like that, it's probably a good thing that it only went for 6 episodes, though.  I can see it running out of things to do fairly quickly.

attempts to return to the well were horrible

(man to man with dean learner is a horrible nightmare)

I'm mildly worried that I might kind of get sick of it before the series is over.  It's a good joke, but I'm not sure how many times it will be funny.  I am assuming things like the sub-basement quality production values, rampant misogyny, and the rampant egoism of Garth/Dagless are pretty much the big jokes, at this point?

[Eric P]

that's pretty much it.

i think it loses it's allure before the 6 episodes are up if i watch them too close together

[TVC15]

Darkplace.  Episode 3

I just watched the first 5 minutes of this while on the toilet.  That was an amazing beginning.
