Amazing!

I’m sure I’m late to the party, but at least I’m here!

And my favourite…

Good, isn’t it?

See also, Framley Examiner.

Scarfolk is rapidly becoming reality. There’s a book too.

On my brief reading, it seems teh book was ‘first’, then the website etc later??

Perhaps..

Marvellous!

I particularly like

This one should ring a bell with one or two broflakes.

Framley Examiner.

Used to love that.

To rent – space behind curtain, would suit a very small child (or something like that).

I’ve never heard of it, either. That lot above reminds me of TVGoHome, which was comedic genius.

Ahh yes, TVGoHome – I’d forgotten about that one too 🙂

Love the Examiner. Classifieds and the property pages are brilliant.

I got excited then because I thought you were going to say “Why have I just discovered Scarfo”?
Incidentally they did an excellent song in 1997 called Cosmonaut no.7.

They’re good but TVgohome will always be king. It’s still good after all these years.

It’s still good after all these years.

It’s still true after all these years – the programme descriptions are often bang on the mark:

19/03/1999 7:00pm EastEnders – A soap opera so transparently fictitious it may as well be set on the $£&^ing moon.

Wow, I had no idea TV Go Home was still going. I’m sure I used to read that in the 90s.

Ah, it doesn’t look like it is – I think the last update was 2002.

I think my favourite Tvgohome thing was:

“Spend a weekend of nihilistic screaming in a dark cave in Wales” (or something like that) 😆

Just finished reading the TV Go Home book cover to cover. It’s old, but contains so much relevant to today. Utterly brilliant.

(ooh, thats what everyone else said 😀 )

It’s old, but contains so much relevant to today.

Seems that’s why it stopped.

Sadly for TVGoHome readers, it could just be that it is becoming a victim of its own success. [Charlie] Brooker says the book and the TV series will mark the site’s swansong.

The problem, he says, is that some TV has become so bizarre, it’s pointless to try parodying it.

“Touch the Truck made the point for me,” he says, referring to the show in which contestants stood round a truck touching it for as long as possible, with the last one standing winning it. “I was seriously considering just copying the listing from the Radio Times and putting that on the site straight.

“And who would have thought you would have seen something like Banzai? I never thought I would have seen Pete Beale having his scrotum weighed on television.”
