Finding Old "Big Breakfast UK" Episodes? Need To Find One From 1992-1994.

Hey all,Firstly apologises if this belongs somewhere else. I read the rules and this doesn't seem like a /r/tipofmytongue type question.Does anyone know anywhere I can find episodes of the TV show Big Breakfast in the UK from around the 1992 to 1994 years?My family appeared on one of the episodes where Keith Chegwin came to our street in (I believe) his out-and-about segment called "Down your way". He challenged our family to find 3 items in our neighbours house, and if we found them we got a prize.I would love the find the epsiode as it is the only recording of my whole family before my dad died a few years later due to cancer. We did have it on VHS, however time has not been kind and the tape is now lost. Would love to be able to get a digital copy to suprise my mum!Unfortunately I was only about 2/3 at the time, so only remember what I have seen on the tape back when it worked. Keith Chegwin was in our street, knocked on our door and my mum had to shout "Whos that sexy man knocking at the door?". He then challenged us to find 3 items (a bag of peas, a hair dryer and something else) from our neighbours house. Keith also almost gets attacked by a dog in our street.Many thanks for any help, really hoping I can find it somewhere! via /r/television http://ift.tt/2uN3FaX
Is the golden age of tv over?

Reboots, spin-offs, series based on tv movies... TV executives have gotten lazier. Does anyone have an original idea anymore? Discuss. via /r/television http://ift.tt/2we7Jz8
What's your opinion the controversy on HBO's Confederate?

So HBO announced they're doing a show from the writers of Game of Thrones called Confederate, set in a modern USA, but in a n alternate reality where "Southern states have successfully seceded from the Union, giving rise to a nation in which slavery remains legal and has evolved into a modern institution. The story follows a broad swath of characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone – freedom fighters, slave hunters, politicians, abolitionists, journalists, the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate, and the families of people in their thrall" in the lead up to the Third Civil War.Some people have started a #NoConfederate campaign, primarily black people offended by the premise of a modern world with slavery, saying it is pandering to the fantasy of white males.Personally, I think the show sounds fascinating and it's a really great idea to do a GoT-esque show in an alternate modern world. Sounds like America has become a broken battleground. And in the shows description, they say there will be a large variety of characters with different positions and in different regions, and it's clear the world will be treated as more of an apocalyptic battleground than a fantasy, with respect to the black characters. However, I'm a white male so I can't fully understand how these people feel and I respect their opinion.Overall, it seems it boils down to that we should reserve judgement until we have more details. It very well could be a disaster, but I have trust that it will be resepctful and encourage these sorts of discussions. via /r/television http://ift.tt/2vl8UjL

Have there been any great sitcoms the past few seasons?

I've realised I don't really watch any anymore, and I can't think of anything recent that's piqued my interest besides Trial & Error (Which is great!!). But I need a new comedy to work through with my breakfast.Previous series I've loved include Community, Scrubs, It's Always Sunny, Parks & Rec, Silicon Valley, The Office, Happy Endings, New Girl, Brooklyn 99, Modern Family. Recent binges have been Veep & My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.Have any other sitcoms from the last 2 or 3 seasons really stood out? via /r/television http://ift.tt/2vXSyKV

What ever happened to Discovery Channel / National Geographic Channel?

I remember back in the day when I would actually enjoy watching these channels; I could do so for hours. That was back when they showed quality programmes, programmes of which you could actually learn quite a lot about the nature and how things work in the world.Now it mostly seems to be about people making money in crazy ways, or people doing crazy things. It seems that everything has to be huge and exiting; there is no more depth, nothing more to learn it is 9/10 times just content for stupid people who've got nothing better to do with their lives than sit around watching television all day.Well, not that that last part is such a bad thing. I mean, I too find myself binge watching shows some days.. via /r/television http://ift.tt/2uNpaZq
"Mother" - Teaser trailer for Darren Aronofsky's new film

Quick Question about gun sounds in older movies.

I recently watched Patton(1970), and noticed that while most of the sound effects were good, some of the gunshots sounded very weak and puny, more like a "pew" than a "bang". I don't quite know how to describe it, but I've only noticed it in earlier movies.I get that real life gunshots aren't as impactful as Hollywood would like us to believe, but these sounded so incredibly phony that it made me start wondering why they would use this type of sound effect. via /r/movies http://ift.tt/2veXYTY

Fun with movie puns

Put yours in the comments!Glad He Ate Her - Group of lions escape from the Roman Colosseum, try to find their way back to Africa. Emperor's daughter takes it upon herself to track them down, eager to apply her knowledge gained from a trip she once took down the Nile. She claims to have a "transcendent rapport with all creatures of the wild". After several near misses she finally has the lions trapped just as they're about to board a ship for Tunisia. Alpha male lion devours her. Her cadre of soldiers do not intervene.Re: Arwen Dough - Arwen has divorced Aragorn and now lives a solitary life in a Manhattan apartment. Distrustful of the race of men, she stashes all her money in a box she keeps in a closet. She's dismayed one day when she catches a man across the alley spying on her through binoculars. And now the doorman is acting strange around her. And why is her neighbor Gladys suddenly so inquisitive and keen on having tea in her apartment? It's not quite adding up until she intercepts a memo...Sit a Sin Cane - Surreal basketball movie about a team of anthropomorphic canes. Point guard starts an affair with a human woman called Rose Bud who puts him to ferocious dildoic use. They fall in love and elope. Coach is a real uptight religious prick, and racist against humans, thinks canes should only marry their own kind. Benches point guard as punishment, causing an uproar among fans, who start a movement for cane-human racial equality.Scarf Ace - What it sounds like. Story about a talented, effeminate Miami Marlins pitcher of Cuban extraction who likes to wear a pastel scarf while on the mound. The scarf violates MLB rules, but Ace, who moonlights as a gangster, threatens to have the commissioner's son's legs broken if he doesn't make an exception. Commissioner backs down, and a bescarved Ace goes on to have a stellar, coke-fueled season, while also gaining fame for his frilly scarf. So much fame that he becomes a gay icon, beloved in the lgbt community. This does him no favors with his fellow gang members, however, who increasingly disassociate from him. Commissioner, upon learning Ace has lost his "muscle", decides to enforce the dress code again. An apoplectic Ace then crashes an executive meeting at the Commissioner's office, guns blazing. Security rushes in and he goes down in a flurry of destruction.Thai Tan, Ick! - Chick flick about a kids summer camp. One of the campers, Tan, is from Thailand. Awkward, ugly, unkempt, speaks broken English. All the girls make fun of him behind his back, except Jodi, the prettiest, most popular girl, secretly has a crush on him. She seduces him, which proves difficult because he's too flustered to know what to do. Eventually she succeeds. But then someone catches them making out. The girls are disgusted. However, Jodi defends her attraction to him, and she has such conviction, and status and popularity that the other girls get a crush on Tan too. He draws Jodi's portrait topless in the moonlight, on a slowly sinking canoe. The girls are sooooo jealous. Next day, new arrivals show up to camp, including two really cute boys. All the girls including Jodi promptly forget about Tan.Tack, Seed River! - Autistic boy is obsessed with splitting or as he calls it, "riving", sunflower seeds. Doesn't even eat them, just rives. His concerned parents send him to his grandpa for the summer, who lives on a yacht, hoping the fresh air will do the boy good. One day at sea, grandpa falls and breaks his hip. Yells to the boy to turn the yacht, as they're on a collision course with a massive cargo ship. But the boy has no idea how to do that. Besides, he sees his grandpa as corrupt on account of the parade of prostitutes he's been with over the summer. He's happy to sabotage the yacht to spite the old man but doesn't realize what he's doing is also suicide. Tragedy ensues.Ram Bow - Wendy's friend cracks wise about how car commercials around Christmas always show people surprising their loved ones with bow-wrapped cars. As if anyone actually does that! Wendy decides to defy her friend and do exactly that. Her husband has been talking about replacing his pickup. She says fuck it and buys him a new Dodge Ram, all the bells and whistles. Now, where do you get a giant novelty ribbon and bow? The next 70 minutes of the movie then consist of a painfully detailed account of the minutiae of Wendy's efforts to acquire the bow and wrap the car, and arrange to have it appear in their driveway at precisely the right time, all without her husband knowing. On Christmas morning, when she pulls her PTSD husband outside for the surprise, he has a thousand-yard stare, like he's not even seeing the truck. Seconds go by. "Well?" she says with a desperately hopeful smile. "Return it," he says and goes back inside. BLEAK.In Deep End: Ants Dei - Ant defectors from Opus Dei have formed a breakaway group just for insects. They've set up a compound in the tiny town of Deep End, Wyoming, and gained notoriety for their increasingly vitriolic criticisms of the Pope. Allegations of abuse begin to surface from insects who've escaped the compound. To outsiders, Ants Dei has all the classic signs of a brain-washing cult. They begin preaching a dire apocalyptic message, fearing aliens will soon arrive and destroy mankind, and their rhetoric is so compelling that word spreads and many Catholics around the world start to believe the prophecy. Deep End soon becomes a magnet for millions, insect and human alike, who make a pilgrimage there seeking salvation. The town is not at all equipped. Dystopian conditions begin to set in due to sheer logistics. How does it end? Two words: Yellowstone supervolcano.Met Ra Poleless - Silent black and white film about an ancient Egyptian who, upon becoming a eunuch, has a profound mystical encounter with Ra. Siddhartha-esque in its searching meditation on the quest for enlightenment. The eunuch explores the many ways in which the male ego is bound up with having a dick, and becomes increasingly interested in bridging the divide between the ruling class and working class in Egypt.Tomb Our Own, Ever Dyes - Political activist and t-shirt empressaria Ever Harrison has an ayahuasca trip where a fern tells her to embrace her responsibility to help bring peace to the planet. "Tomb our own", the fern declares and drills into her mind. It makes total sense to her in her altered state. Stop killing innocent foreigners. If anyone deserves death, it's the war criminals in her own government. Upon getting home, she dyes the slogan on a bunch of t-shirts, but they don't sell. Nobody gets it. She runs it by her friends and family. They don't get it. Meanwhile in all her attempts at advertising the shirts, she's managed to get herself on a suspected terrorist "no-fly" list. And all Ever wants to do is get back to the rainforest to take more ayahuasca to get more mystical advice. So she takes a cruise ship, and it's going well until a dashing British gentleman commandeers and turns the ship, triggering a torrent of violence and hysteria as everyone fears a terrorist attack. Hiding in her room she screams "Tomb all of us!" in hatred of mankind.Bear Real in Dunn - Halloween horror movie set in North Carolina. Belchy the Bear is the trendy costume of the year. All the kiddies love the cartoon character. As trick-or-treaters hit the streets, there are Belchys everywhere, merrily belching. Little does anyone know, the small town of Dunn, NC received a faulty shipment of Belchy costumes. Due to a factory error, these masks got lined with a chemical that slowly turns the wearer into an actual ferocious bear. Horror ensues, every frame like a painting. The movie title is a local newspaper's callous headline the morning after. via /r/movies http://ift.tt/2wdyvrg
Can you help me remember this movie?

I cant really describe it well, but often throughout the film, the narrator describes someone saying something, and then it shows the scene of them saying it.For example, the narrator would say something like "He told me that i was the stupidest man to ever live in this town" and then it would show the character saying "you are the stupidest man to ever live in this town".These arent the actual lines, but it is really similar. Any ideas what film it might be? via /r/movies http://ift.tt/2vlfsio
Is it possible to make an audience feel anger during a movie? And if so what movie did it ?

We know that movies provoke emotions , but anger seems to be very rare. Our empathy for the characters on the screen usually never make it past sad , fear and happy, maybe revenge but never anger. It's weird how football games can achieve this but not a movie, at least not one I've seen yet. I'm sure some indie films have probably done this lol, but ok the big screen we have yet to do so. What kind of story do you need to structure to create these feelings in the audience. If you have seen a movie like that explain? via /r/movies http://ift.tt/2wdQIFk
