TelevigionAlmost certainly a man who attempts to be funny and/or creative for a living. Actor, filmmaker, writer & optimist.
This week I’ve watched two things that are, on the surface, tailor-made for me and that I’ve been meaning to watch for a while (well, just over a month since they were initially released). It turns out that it is worth looking below that surface. We’ll finish up with a little diversion into a comparison […]
Obviously, it is nearly Halloween. And I received an email from the BBC! To tell me about the ghostly and spooky shows and podcasts they have on offer. No direct email commission for a series without prompting, not this week. After comedy, horror comes second or third for me (depending how sci-fi my mind is […]
Having had a wild and varied thematic and genre ride in Televigion last week, this week it’s all comedy. Some of it certainly not to my taste, some of it a pleasant surprise but all of it brand new to me. Let’s dive in. Comedy is subjective, so I’m hoping for a little debate and/or […]
It’s always a good sign when the second post in a planned schedule actually happens, isn’t it? If we get to three, then it’s officially a habit and I won’t be able to stop! It’s a slightly turbulent and emotional time at the moment, and I suppose that is reflected in the Televigion Schedule. Usually, […]
I’m on a kick to be writing just now, because I just finished a great writing course and I also have some life motivation to seize the day. So I think I’ll try a weekly recap of what the happenings have been going on that are in Televigion (perfect grammar, no notes). Honourable Mentions Ludwig. […]
My body has kindly decided to host the first of my 2024 winter viruses, so I’ve been off work the last two days. It’s the kind of virus that is happy watching TV (but anything else clears out all energy stores). So here’s what I’ve watched… 1. Episode 1 of Hacks (Amazon Prime) – lots […]
Well, it’s not just one moment, is it? It’s an endless stream of taser shots straight to the core of your being. Sometimes it is recognition and nostalgia, whether for being a kid yourself, or seeing a kid from an adult’s perspective. Sometimes it is absolute hilarity, the funny bone tickled into complete submission. And […]
Hello. In an effort to keep the Moment-um going, I thought I’d talk about the consequences of my previous post. Spoiler alert, it’s watching more television. I’ve realised that my love of TV does not spring from nowhere, it really was an important part of my upbringing (and downbringing, I pulled a large faux-wood cathode […]
For our first Moment (TM) – which since I’ve not done any specific process of trademarking, must mean TelevigionMark1 – I’ve chosen a show I couldn’t defend as great, or even good most of the time, but the experience of watching it was a seminal Televigion experience. Some scene setting. The year is non-specific, but […]
I’ve got a plan to write a series of posts under the title “Moments” – dealing with those big hitter experiences when watching something on TV has remained in my mind. Watch this space. But in coming back to this blog, I found a draft of a post from July 11th 2020 at 2.43pm (UH […]
