You know what they say: old news is good news! Well actually they’ve misremembered. Anyway, the episode of Fifty 50 Show due to go out a fortnight ago has finally popped up. In it, Dan Peake talks about appearing on The Common Denominator, and Travis Penery joins host Lewis Murphy to discuss Schlag den Raab and all the HOTTEST two week old gameshow goss.
There’s an extra bit of Dan stuff as well.
We’ll probably think about doing another episode of The Line Up soon.
MEANWHILE! Robot Combat League starts showing on SyFy in the UK from next Monday at 8pm (repeated 10:50pm). Had a chat about the first episode here, but funnily enough despite all the excitement haven’t really gone out of my way to watch other episodes.
Emma Willis new Big Brother host. Well done her.
Re: Robot Combat League, you’re not alone. I thought it looked amazing at first, then I watched two episodes and kept wishing I could call up the producer and tell him to just get on with it already. A more fitting name for the show would be “A Bunch of Pointless Idle Chatter With Maybe Six Minutes of Actual Robot Combat Towards the End”.
By the way, according to IMDB, the executive producer for this show is Craig Plestis, the same bozo responsible for the train wrecks known as Minute to Win It (US) and Who’s Still Standing?, both of which were also bogged down by too much idle chatter and faffing about. The same guy was also added to the staff of 1 vs. 100 for the second season, which was the exact same time that show turned into Who Wants to be a Millionaire Plus 100 Other People Want to Answer Questions Too. Probably not a coincidence. I’m starting to think this guy needs to be blacklisted and never allowed to work again, unless the job requires asking “Would you like fries with that?”
