That reminds me, that's waiting for me on iPlayer!

If you're talking about the Louis Theroux show then I challenge you not to come out of watching it not thinking that the Daniel guy in there is one of the most dislikeable characters on this planet.....

I would also recommend Fast and Loose on BBC 2 on Friday Nights if you liked whose line is it anyway. It is more crude and its nowhere near as good as whose line is it anyway, but the interpretive dance section makes me laugh every time.

Sorry to disagree, but for me the Interpretive Dance round is the only thing which stops Fast & Loose from being a complete and utter cowpat of a show, not fit to lick Whose Line Is It Anyway's boots - which is surprising considering it's from the same production team.

If you find yourself at a loose end in London on a Wednesday or Sunday, get yourself down to the Comedy Store and watch the Comedy Store Players, in my humble opinion the best improvised comedy it is possible to witness - especially if you can get a night when any of Paul Merton, Andy Smart, Lee Simpson, Richard Vranch or Stephen Frost are performing.

Loving the Reggae season on BBC4

Gonna have dig out my Trojan and Scratch Perry comps.

A bloke at work is well into his reggae (and I mean well into it), he recently bought a bunch of MP3s that were stored on DVDs. i think that it was 36 DVDs with around 1400 complete albums and 6000 singles His justification for spending £80+ on this collection? "I've probably only got about half of them already."


Back on topic it's ironic that the only thing that I really want to watch at the minute is a Danish crime thriller called The Killing. Well worth catching up with on iPlayer (I think they'll still have the first episodes up)

In between baking a chocolate cake with my 4 year old niece last week I was introduced to the CBeebies kids show Rastamouse. Your post just reminded me of it. Rastamouse is a crime fighting reggae loving Rasta mouse with friends called Scratchy and Zoomer. It's a classic, apparently he's even bringing out a single.

[MrJan]

I saw Rastamouse for the first time the other day, the purists will probably hate it but I thought it was great. I'd love to have been in the meeting where they pitched the idea for a stereotypical Jamaican mouse that solves crimes and plays dancehall in his downtime.
