Two fantastic links from this week’s b3ta newsletter:
– Some fantastic sketches off Armando Iannucci’s 2004 end of year show, particularly the wonderfully surreal iPod one and the BBC1 Ident. These made me laugh. A lot.
– Supper With The Stars. Dinner with Syd Little, Jim Bowen (“Special Requirements. Darts and a dartboard.”) and Stan Bordman, anyone? Or how about Keith Harris? (“Keith likes to appears on his own, but for an additional fee, will bring along either Orville or Cuddles.”) Not sure I fancy paying for Tamara “only drinks expensive champagne” Beckwith to turn up, though: “Repertoire: Tamara will chat endlessly about her upper-class lifestyle and celebrity friends.” Sounds positively awful…
But she’s been on TV in “literally dozens of shows.” That’s stardom.
I like how the frontpage promises “to make your party sparkle with an elusive touch of Hollywood glamour.” Er, Hollywood?
