How's this for getting things going on LJ: a MEME!

[beelikej]

Keeping up with LJ is a bit tough at the moment, but y'all rock for posting! *rolls around in flist* I'm still juggling too many things this week, so I expect I won't be able to catch up properly until the weekend, but I didn't want to postpone this meme that long, so here's quick post:)

I love that you love Bill Bailey in Buzzcocks but have you seen his one man stand up show? He's so good! And Black Books, please tell me you've seen Black Books...

Is it the version where Judith beheads Holofernes that is apocryphal then? The version of the story I'd heard was she killed him by hammering a tent peg into his head. Whichever, she was badass!

I think I've seen snippets of one of Bill Bayley's music/stand up show, that was good:)

I tried Black Books long ago, because of Tamsin Greig, but the main character got on my nerves with all the smoking :-p Upon your recommendation I will try it again; I found the series is officially up on YouTube! (First two seasons are complete, third season is being uploaded this month)

The whole book of Judith is apocryphal, except for Catholics I think. Oooh, never heard about the version with the tent peg. Wicked!

I'm now wondering about the tent peg because I can't find any mention online... I saw Judith was a Catholic thing, which explains why I'd thought it was normal, being brought up catholic and all.

Ah yes, I think Dylan Moran grows on you - he is not a sympathetic character but that's partly why it's so funny. He and Manny are so ill suited.

Bill Bailey is fantastic. He's one of those comedians who is on fire no matter what panel show he's on, or what guests he's on with.

I'll be a memesheep! Hit me! :)

Bill Bailey ROCKS \m/

Alright! Here are the three icons I want to know more about....

Man, I miss the Buzzcocks. I should rewatch some.

Chris > everything

Although David Tennant is also pretty fantastic. I got to meet him last year at Awesome Con and he was every bit as lovely as I could have hoped. :)

Bill Bailey! ♥ Buzzcocks! ♥ Simon Amstell! ♥ ♥ Oh and of course, how could I ever forget the Gay off! ♥ ♥ ♥ Thanks for reminding me of that particular gem, heh.

You're not wrong - I just don't have a lot of opportunities to use this Simon icon;)

Gosh, Buzzcocks was a lot of fun. I was a big fan of Mark Lamarr, so I was a little apprehensive when Simon took over after a series with guesthosts, but I loved him right away. *reminds self to track down that autobiographic sitcom he wrote and starred in*

Same here, I loved Mark Lamarr and honestly didn't think anyone could properly replace him (of course it turned out no one but Simon was able to in the end.).
