I’m Australian, and I’ve always found “I’m a Celebrity” to be so amusing. I used to enjoy watching it when I lived in the UK. However, they’re not really in a jungle - they’re in a stunning national park with roughly four million people living within an hour of them. People go hiking and camping there all the time, and Australia is one of the very few (only?) tropical places you can go to and not risk horrific diseases. In terms of jungles, the one they are in is maybe the safest on earth 😅. Yes we have some scary bugs and reptiles, but we have an incredible healthcare system. I don’t think we’ve had a spider related death since the eighties here, and deaths from snake bites are maybe one or two per year. We actually have an Aussie version of I’m a Celebrity now, and it’s filmed in Africa. It’s not half as entertaining as the UK version though.
Oh yes. In Canada, we have 'suburban' camp 🏕 forests too. Camp spots within 6 - 8 million people + US, and people treat it a like home away from home 🏡
Oh my days, once again Marina sent me all aquiver when she stated to Richard ," I love it when you talk like a head line". What a team. Just Brilliant !!!
Am I the only person in the world who doesn’t want to watch ‘celebrities’ swallow cockroaches or eat kangaroo bottom bits? Great podcast as ever and congrats on the local press news.
You and me both. I can’t even remember seeing the first one, let alone this outing. It seems such a tired and predictable format which is unfunny, to me at least
I wish TV series wouldn't end on cliffhangers unless they know they're coming back. There are so many good stories with no proper endings, it makes me reluctant to start watching new series until they've ended. I feel as though contracts should specify a certain budget to wrap up the storyline before cancellation.
One of my disc songs would be Doctor Jones. Crazy to select that but when my first-born son would wake in the middle of the night I'd sit up with him while he was teething and we'd watch the Aqua video cassette until he fell asleep again. It's a beautiful memory.
Marina is definitely the middle at a dinner party. She can roll out the anecdotes at will but has the deft touch of knowing when to let someone else's anecdotes shine. Richard is the staff.
On House of games yesterday, the winner chose the Richard Osman Luggage set as the prize. I swear that if Richard was to put this on general sale, it would be a huge seller.
Between Seasons of Friends, many of the cast had haircuts during the break and a storyline was specifically created where Phoebe had cut Chandler and Joey's hair (to explain their haircuts) because the premiere episode kicks off directly from the previous season's finale, so Monica asks her to cut her hair to look like Demi Moore.
Marina - I asked my wife about the National trust thing. (She’s a regional conservator for them) and people don’t have to leave a fund to maintain a house they leave to the trust. The decision is to take the house on or not is mainly based. On historical significance and public benefit. So they do say no to houses. But it’s not specially BECAUSE no money has been left with it.
Richard, you know full well that seat 4 is the comedian, and comedians are generally a) cleverer than average and b) better suited to bizarre questions and c) able to handle being last priority and shine with the least attention Why pretend otherwise? You've answered the same question correctly before.
I love watching you both and I,'m really enjoying this content. I suffer from hearing loss and notice that Richard seems to block his lips quite a lot with his right hand which prevents me from lip reading assist. (obviosually your both right-handed but camera angle affects Richard). I so not want you to stop using hand geatures as they are of course very important but just wondering if camera angle can be tweaked or alternatively Richard learns to use his left hand. 😂 I know CC are an option but I get a better experience lip reading assist. BTW I will stjll watch regardless.
I worked as an extra for a few years and had to go down to NSW costal casting for the Trails Team. Basically they put you in there for a bit and you get to keep two fully made episodes for yourself. Sadly because I had a green ant allergy I didn’t pass the medical.
I worked for an advertising agency and there were brands who would refuse rather lucrative deals of outdoor advertising if they included wraps of stairs etc. because they didn't want to see the brand name stepped on. I kinda get it.
I always wondered about cliff hangers - I remember Star Trek The Next Generation Season 3 cliff hanger where Captain Picard is abducted by the Borg and converted and it ends with First Officer Riker ordering to fire, and it ends then. However when the season four first episode airs, it does look like they taped both shows together, as the amount of make up and costume work makes me thing in this case they did tape both episodes at once.
I can only recall one instance (Supergirl with Melissa Benoist) but there are instances where the resolution to a cliffhanger is filmed but not shown until the next season. You can tell because they show the resolution with everyone looking like always, the next scene starts the episode properly and many of them have different hairstyles. So clearly some significant time has passed between filming.
Season finales: I'm pretty sure that the beginning of the first episode of season 6 of _Castle_ was filmed at the same time as the end of season 5. Castle and Beckett are having a heart to heart sitting on swings in a park, and it ends with him proposing to her. At the beginning of season 6, she expresses astonishment and then accepts. Since they already had the order from the network for another season, it would have made no sense to wrap at the end of the season 5 segment without spending the extra time to film the season 6 segment.
Desert Island Discs: many many years ago, when I was but a youth, Sofie Tucker did the show and all eight choices were own records. As I recall it. Further, I recall, dimly, she was invited a second time and, again, restricted her choices to her own performances. Not so sure about the second appearance but I'd bet a pint on the first one.
What a great call for Def Leppard on the Walk of Fame. They should honour it with Rick Allen's single handprint as a symbol of success in defiance of tragedy (or something like that)
Okay, so clearly we can't just call this version the "Walk of Fame." So here are some alternate suggestions for the R.I.E.W.O.F - The Jar of Stars - Write the name of the star on paper and, as you might guess, put it in a jar. - The Fame Frame - Get a frame, then add names to said frame. (No canvas in the center, just names on the frame.) - The Chest is Entertainment - It's a chest, with the names of people from the world of entertainment in it. (The last one is my personal favourite.)
the $50,000 for 'upkeep' of those stars is a great reason to nominate as many people as possible. Each person that accepts get's $50,000 for the company responsible!
Seat 4 wins more often because the buzzer is more responsive. Meaning if two people slam their buzzers with a split second of each other, seat 4 will always pick it up compared to any of the other positions. Having been aware of this since season 3, I've seen this to be true, and if you consider whether the person best at the game always get puts there, you can see how they perform in other rounds, and it's really only a race to the buzzer that puts them in the winning seat.
For copyright reasons I suggest you call it the Stroll of Stars. You could have a 'reality' show based on the committee making the choices, who will make it ? Tune in next week/after the break to find out ! Have a roster of celebs coming in on the committee as the 3rd judge and let the drama commence...
Marina can be such a philistine sometimes. Judging someone's whole career just on one song and ignoring the albums and anything else she has done. The sort od journalist I thought they called out on here.
Bushtucker trials were lame 20 years ago. They basically took Noel Edmond's wizard wheeze and replaced gunge with live animals, pasting Ant & Dec on top. It's hardly TV gold.
I think seat 4 has the advantage because they've got the hang of the round by the time the question gets to them. Often, the first question and occasionally the second can be completely botched by misunderstanding the point of the round. By seat 4 the penny has dropped.
I noticed on the earlier episodes of House of Games (HoG), the comedians went on seat 4 and the comedians usually won as well. Male comedians more specifically.
A bit late, but please put Frank Welker into the 'Rest is entertainment' walk of fame. The fans did try to get him nominated for a proper one but he turned it down. Also if you don't know who Frank Welker is, get a cup of tea and spend a good 10 mins looking through his IMDB. Everybody with hearing has heard him at some point even if they don't know it.
Wasn't there an episode of Friends that was meant to continue one from series to the next. The new series started and they're in the same clothes but all have sun tans

Top Ten for RIE Walk of Fame: Glen Powell Glen Powell Glen Powell Glen Powell Glen Powell Glen Powell Glen Powell Glen Powell Glen Powell And Glen Powell
I'm not sure if this is an urban myth, but didn't Nile Rogers chose all his own songs on Desert Island Discs? Also, why are some folks invited on for a further episode? Would this be a programming case of the Gene Autry Walk of Fame?
@@maddi3582 there are a few who chose only their own music or mostly their own music. I think it’s fair enough, musicians invest a lot of their lives into their music sometimes so they will be natural choices. Google says Rogers, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (7/8 I think), Moura Lympany, John Lee Hooker (I remember listening to this one and I don’t think he had particularly understood the format and they were mostly collaborations so it wasn’t all about him), Norman Wisdom (5/8 his own songs) and Otto Preminger (music from films he has made and, slightly hilariously, his autobiography was his book choice). Engelbert Humperdinck also chose his own autobiography and one of his own tracks. Edit: found some other oddities. PL Travers chose poetry readings and no music. Ian McMillan chose John Cage’s 4’33” ( for anyone unfamiliar with it this is 4 minutes and thirty three seconds of silence). Jamie Oliver and Harvey Smith both refused to take a book.
I’d assumed that seat 1 was at a disadvantage because they have to start most new rounds and not everyone has quite understood what’s being asked of them at that point.
Would it be partly due to religious beliefs Mohammed Ali not wanting to be walked on? Soles of feet being positioned in your direction being a big insult.
I literally do not understand why anyone watches _IACGMOOF._ It's both boring and repellent. In that respect it's better than _Big Brother,_ which is just boring.
You know I had noticed that the generally awful Wales Online have improved a bit. Still unwatchable largely because the broadband speed here in mid wales can’t keep up with the pop ups, but topics are a bit better and I mainly look at the comments to get the gist of the article 😂

Gwen Stefani totally deserves a star on the walk of fame. No Doubt about it.

I believe Ali's Star is on the wall because he didn't want anyone walking on the name 'Muhammed' as it could be a desecration of his faith.
Yes, that sounds about right. I knew there were religious reasons behind it, but I wasn't sure what, I just know that the sole of the foot is unclean.
If you take the walk of Fame tour, they tell you his star is on the wall for religious reasons
Yep. Mohammed as the prophets name and Ali is derived from Allah the name of God so he didn’t want the names walked on
