Fry and Laurie reunited!

My current level of squee could crack glass and end wars  it is so very mighty. ::nods:: I just wish it was a proper show, you know, of the old type. I'd swap any proper Fry and Laurie one-off special for every episode made of House or (bloody) Kingdom (a pox on both).

Someone please tell me this deeply pleasing vid is real and that I'm not hallucinating (for that would break my heart).

Boris Johnson vs the DJ.

...taking a short break, I flip on Channel 4 and the afternoon film, Warlords of Atlantis where I find Michael Gothard! in a blonde wig and gorgeous silver frock, very Mary Quant.There's an awful lot of bronzed male thigh on show all over aamof, silvery Stig-like helmits and rubber sea-monsters and James Onedin! and Doug McClure!  Yea verily, the stupid is stupid and everything is very poor indeed and yet, I cannot look away!

Highly recommended.

But I must get back to my scrubbing, these cushions won't poof themselves.

(and how wrong is that?) but here he is in a gloriously handmade interview talking about it.

And on 'Five Minutes' just being his usual wonderful self.

And yes, I should be working, I really should...

Jo Brand, Sean Locke and David Mitchell on QI*

Yes, it's FRIDAY!, people, let us rejoice and be happy. Permission to make a kissy face and smooch you all most mercilessly...?

* Didn't Stephen enjoy saying 'doing a stretch'? Bless his Paul Smith cashmere socks.

the simply ENORMOUS wank-fest going on over at NBC quite as much as I am? 

INFO (For the British portion of my flist): the issue is basically over who is the bigger star - the current presenter of the Tonight Show (the delightful Conan O Brien who is pure comedy gold and the reason I 'acquire' the Tonight Show on a daily basis) and the former presenter of the Tonight Show, Jay Leno (used to be OK but well past his sell-by IM oh so HO - not to mention poor Jimmy Fallon who is piggie in the middle and getting getting totally shafted). Honestly people, even if you don't watch the shows or know the personalitites involved, go google because this is a glorious wank-storm of the purest kind with both sides bitching at each other on national TV, bwahahahaha!

Believe me, it's FANDOM WANK being played out on a massive stage and I'm loving it (and so is Ricky Gervais if Wednesday's show was anything to go by). Even Larry Saunders never came close to anything half so good.

If you love wank, you'll love this. ::makes shooing gestures. waves Conan-supporter flag::

...No one's mentioned David Tennant's astonishing performance as Russell Brand, the Ghost of Christmas Present on the Catherine Tate show last night but there you go. Anyone listen to them on Radio 2 this morning then with the Most Holy Lord Bernard of Cribbins...?

Doctor Who was pure hilarious crack, I have rarely laughed so long or hard - which was good. Our home now has a new line, 'he ate it like The Master' - only used on the dog so far but we eagerly await the chances to broaden that scope.

So, good Christmas, everyone? We still have snow. Dad is going to 'dine' (the way The Skeletor Master 'dines') with his brothers today, he's been in the bathroom a mere 2 and a half hours but still hoping to have him at at least the underpants layer before my cousin comes to get him at 3.00.

Other than that, it's been relatively calm and unfraught. I now own an ipod and a goodly pile of DVD-based comedy and a bottie of delicious hard stuff. I'm now off to make sosmix rolls, please wish me well in my culinary endeavours and have a lovely Boxing Day all!

XXX

it's Alan Bennett Night tonight on BBC2, and HIGMNFY and The Thick of It.

This is excellent news, this almost makes up for the fact that I shall have to go into the icy garden in a moment to lift and shift a wild cherry tree.

...winding down, thinking about going up to bed, watching that Fleetwood Mac thing on BBC2 and thinking about Tony Harrison's bold demand:

"Tusk," in its entirety, with the pauses as Lindsay Buckingham intended! Watch the room crumble at the aura of the H-Man!

So, I'm alright. You alright?

Bunny and the Bull coming out in November!
