Things that made me go 'What?!'

Numero Uno: of couse is Simon Amstell's first foray into film (liking the alliteration?).  Black Pond  stars Chris Langham and is about a family who get accused of murder when a stranger comes to dinner and kills himself.  Cheery stuff all round.  Can't tell from the trailer who Simon is playing - probably just a minor character.  Quite strange altogether though - seeing as most critics say he can't act at all.  What does this mean? Delays in 'Grandma's House'? No more stand-up?  Hopefully not - hopefully it just means 'more Simon, please'.  Which is perfectly fine with me.

Numero...Deux?  French will have to do.  Frankie Boyle is in talks with Channel 4 to make another show.  Hmm.  Here's hoping it's better than 'Tramadol Nights', which will surely rate near the top of lists of 'the worst TV programmes of 2010/the Noughties/the millenium/ever'.

ETA: Simon is playing an 'eccentric psychotherapist'.  Extremely interesting stuff for sure.
