New series of Pyschoville started last night. Brilliant dark comedy from the men behind The League of Gentleman.

If you have sky player online, and the movie package, then you can watch 'Tormented' like I just did.
It has a pretty basic storyline, isnt exactly mind taxing but contains loads of blood and grizzly deaths.
It isnt an oscar winner by a long way but I found it kinda enjoyable.
If you enjoyed Skins season one then you may well enjoy the way it pokes fun at an exaggerated youth.
If you didnt enjoy skins...then it may well not be for you.

For those of a certain age and musical sensibility

Spiral on BBC4
All 12 episodes available, the one above is the first.
This has been gripping over the last few weeks, a Parisian answer to The Wire if you caught that. A Mexican serial killer, Albanian pimps, random nutters, corruption in high places, dodgy lawyers and police infighting - what more do you want? Subtitles? -Yep them too.
Brilliant.

Not on iPlayer yet, but Chris Lilley's
Angry Boys
starts on BBC3 in June.
If you've not seen his
Summer Heights High
I can highly recommend it, its pure genius, really needs watching from the start, but Chris Lilley is brilliant as each of the characters he plays...

Not sure how to describe this, but really looking forward to the rest of the series.
Edit: just googling around and found the eponymous poem:

Used to watch it when I was a kid, now they're making more
Mysterious Cities of Gold
, not sure I'll be at home to watch them this time though.

Linked in Da News after watching it the other day, its no online to view (for the next few days at least)
Sri-Lanka's Killing Fields
not for the faint-hearted or squeemish, but shocking and disappointing that humans can commit such atrocities and appaling that the UN did/have done nothing.

Very heavy and challenging material but ultimately very important I think:

This provides the balance and is fairly essential as Pratchett's program is hardly without bias:

Haven't watched them yet and have been meaning to.
Bit of a no-brainer to me though. Its considered "humane" to put animals down (pets, livestock and wild animals) when their perceived quality of life diminishes but not a fellow human being who has made that choice themselves.

Indeed. In that respect the Newsnight program is probably more important as it provides some good points I hadn't thought about, particularly regarding he safeguarding of the vulnerable and the poor.
For example, Liz Carr's point that those facing a lifetime of bills for hospices etc may choose Dignitas rather than "burden" their families with the cost. And where is the line drawn? Available to those only with terminal illnesses or open to those with incurable illnesses or even to people who are fit and healthy but who consider themselves to enduring "unbearable suffering" through emotional problems? Dignitas market that as those who are "weary of life". It doesn't sit well with me that they should be able to commit suicide but then, as Pratchett accurately points out, if they are hell bent on committing suicide anyway and will simply do it themselves then Dignitas avoids the possibility of it being botched, saves the Police one of their more unpleasant responsibilities and affords the person in question a painless end.
Clearly the law needs to change, but how?

No idea exactly where the "line should be drawn" but at least these programs are starting to get the issue discussed which is a step in the right direction.

Janelle Monae was brilliant at Glastonbury, as where the Chemical Brothers (as always)

This girls got bags of energy and gave a great performance, running and jumping around the stage. And what a voice!

Just stumbled across some Perl scripts to
get_iplayer
for recording and downloading iPlayer programs (M$-Windows versions available too).

Yeah, great watches, and great show by the Chemical Brothers. But could someone in the know tell me this: during their tunes, Star Guitar say, which sounds to me like what's on the CD in many ways, what are they at with the knobs etc? Is it just like at a party when you think "Tune! Fucking turn it up", or are they doing something else. Have they got Tesco website up, ordering toilet roll and are just keeping themselves busy. To be perfectly honest (I've been to their gigs) I'd be perfectly happy if that's all they're doing while just providing a bit of interest for the eye as it's the music and light show you're there for mainly, but I just wondered.
I had a friend who was into DJing, and he was okay at it, but there were times he just stuck a C90 with the Breezeblock on it, or an Essential Mix, and just messed around with his records. Even though I knew, it was still miles better than either a) his DJing, or b) just having a C90 on the stereo, so I was perfectly happy. So were the partyers, until Mary Anne Hobbs or pete Tong started over the speakers: "You're listening to the, ah, Essential Mix with me... "

They purportedly play it live, winging track selection, beeps, bleeps and samples
.
Similar with Leftfield and Orbital too, although the former have live vocalists for some tracks.
All three are brilliant live, the audio-visual setups being superb and the key to their performances.

I guess to the uninitiated a drum machine looks a lot like a sampler looks a lot like a sequencer looks a lot like a mixer. Basically they'll be creating the music live, ie playing a drum pattern/ sample, looping it then adding a keyboard riff, looping it etc. It doesn't look amazing but in many ways there's a lot more to do, and to go wrong than when just standing with a guitar.

A gem from last night. He comes across as a quite sad, lonely old man who likes to dress as a nazi in his spare time, and who's not living in the kind of luxury you'd expect for someone with his back catalogue (though he's doing OK, so maybe he's just got simple tastes).

+1 for that, top stuff. Photography was incredible, was expecting a making of to fill the ad gap for the foreign markets, but good to see BBC still unashamedly making hour long progs for their own use only.
