Time to Vote For a New Friday Show

Colin Bayley

Because its all about you and your insecurity isn't it Saul. I made a general comment about a behavioral trend I noticed and you immediately took it as some sort of attack. Then spent the next hour walking around with your thumb up your arse seething about it. Couldn't let it go could ya. All you have to do to stop me replying is to leave it now. But your incapable of that aren't you.

Saul

So you admit you have no point at all anymore; you’re just a common, slightly thick troll with a neurotic inability to let an argument go. Okay, that sounds like a reasonable stopping point. It took a while but at least I know you’re just a twat. For a while there I actually took you seriously. Have a nice day Colin. Go out and touch some grass.

Colin Bayley

I carry on because you are unable to walk away. It's not in your nature. If you don't reply to this you will return to it at some point. It fascinates me.

Saul

I asked you if you have a point 'anymore'. I know what you originally wrote. You've whined about Matt Berry for god knows how many replies now. I got your point. Everyone got it. Monks in the himalayas got it. So what is your point now? Why are you still replying in this thread? Why am I still getting notifications? D'you think I'm going to change my vote or something? You're like the last guy at the fucking party, still dancing when the music's stopped. Go home, you're making me lose the will to live.

Colin Bayley

The point is in the sentence I use the word point.

Saul

That’s a no then.

Colin Bayley

I was referring to your answer to Jason. I think you'll find the only one banging on about JC is you. There are several shows I would prefer to wwdits this time round. My original point was how a princess Diana like obsession springs up on here for different individuals seemingly overnight. The world doesn't revolve around you it goes round the sun.

Saul

Wtf are you talking about “waited a while”? I went to bed Maybe you think you’re so magnetic I should’ve stayed up all night replying to your increasingly douchey points, but normal people sleep at the end of the day Have you actually got a point anymore, by the way?

Colin Bayley

You had the last word. Waited awhile. Then went at it again. Naughty.

Saul

I find the idea of you being enthused about a show like Jonathan Creek baffling too. But I haven't droned on about it for five replies now. Let it go, you're being really fucking annoying.

Colin Bayley

I haven't mentioned Jonathan Creek for 3 polls myself. I just don't understand the love you have for matt Berry. He's OK. But to elevate him to a reason to watch something is baffling.

Saul

I don’t care. Stop nagging me for voting differently. I’ve not said anything critical of Jonathan creek, so have the decency to accept a different vote without being such a giant pain in the arse about it. The vote will shake out how it will.

Andrew

We shall await the mystery reveal then,who would have thought that a poll on a patreon page would have been such a stressful ordeal 😅

Ian Richards

In my experience, Josh usually closes the poll at either 10 or 11, and JC was comfortably in the lead (by about 5 or 6 votes) during that period. It was only a sudden glut of late votes after 11 that made it close at all.

Michaela

Jonathan Creek was definitely ahead by one point when it was midnight (UK time)! Then I refreshed the page at 12:03 and the poll was closed and suddenly WWDITS had another vote!

Andrew

Michaela

The poll is closed though? Or do you mean earlier?

David Lyons

Didn't realise it would be this close so I undid my vote for Shadows...

Michaela

Agreed!

Michaela

I’d like to think that he would choose Jonathan Creek, as it’s been coming second in the polls for months! Only seems fair that it has its turn now 😁🤞🏼🤞🏼

Jack Morgan

So we have a draw. Does this mean you'll watch both 😅? Unlikely, but it would be amazing because they're both such great shows!

Colin Bayley

I like wwdits. I just don't want to see it on here now. I want something different to what's already running. Thursday and Saturday are quite simular and a matt Berry comedy will make 3 shows of the same style. Taskmaster is like income tax because they make 20 episodes a year so you have to go January to May before you start reducing the overall numbers. I hunger for different.

VEGGIE GAMER

In all seriousness, it would be an absolute joy to see you react to Jonathan Creek! It is a really fun, engaging and hilarious show with an awesome 'mystery of the week' that I am sure you will appreciate! Would be so good to get this on the weekly watch list!

Alex P

Jonathan Creek definitely is good - certainly the first few series. Though some of the latter specials were a bit lacklustre.

Michaela

It’s a tie! What happens now? 😲 (Also, damn whoever voted for WWDITS at the last second! 😣)

Saul

I really don’t know why you’re being so pissy about this Colin. No one said Matt berry is the equivalent of Robert deniro. You just sound cross that someone dared recommend a show you’re not enthused about.

Dave P

Agree, theres a lack of good shows on reaction now

Dave P

Only show im watching the reaction to is thick of it currently, shame

Stephen

Jonathan Creek, please no... As entertaining as watching paint dry.

Colin Bayley

Why such an aggressive stance? Matt Berry is very good at playing matt Berry. Robert Deniro is not shitting himself because matt Berry has burst onto the scene.

Dave P

Please not JC

Kieran

I had voted for Fresh Meat, but after seeing the tie decided to put in my vote for Jonathan Creek. I watched the show when it originally aired and loved it, no idea if I'll still think it's good 20 (?) years later.

Michaela

Holy cow JC is drawing! 🙈

Saul

@jason - Yeah agreed. Also, it’s not like Matt berry’s even in anything much rn. He’s not even in boosh every episode. Plus, he’s fucking brilliant, who cares if he is. It’s not like I’ll be moaning about Caroline Quentin being in everything if Jonathan creek gets in.

VEGGIE GAMER

Yeah I love that show and it would be great to see him react to it!

Steve Read

There's a few gooduns on here, but Rhod Gilberts Work Experience is funny and I haven't seen it a million times.

Jason

I think it makes sense. people join cos they like a show and then they vote in the next poll and vote for other stuff they like, which often has the same actors etc.

Saul

I’m pretty sure wwdits isn’t going to win so it’s irrelevant anyway. I like Matt berry so I haven’t felt like he’s over represented but I suppose if you’re not a fan it feels different.

Colin Bayley

Sorry. I didn't mean it to be aggressive. It just a trend I've noticed in these polls over the months. Which I truly don't understand. I like a variety of things of different genre's and also some rubbish. I'm just not keen on the same thing over and over which a lot of these trends result in.

Saul

Why such an aggressive reply? There are many comments supporting Jonathan Creek here - there is one even saying that it should get voted in because there are lots of comments about it. and that that should count extra in terms of votes. I added some balance to the comment section that’s all. Think about how you feel reading my comment - now consider the possibility that I and lots of other people might feel the same way reading all the comments about Jonathan Creek.

Colin Bayley

Why is matt Berry the new god? The last one was Steve Coogan before that it was log. Are we now going to have his whole catalog in succession? With a few bootlegs of him eating his lunch somewhere shot through a Bush? Do you only listen to one band at a time and wait to you've heard everything they have recorded before moving on? A bit of variety is not a bad thing. It broadens the mind and opens you to new experiences. It also stops what you like becoming stale.

Saul

Can I say, in defence of What We Do In The Shadows, and as some balance to the support for JC - WWDITS is a wonderful show, light and funny, with brilliant performances throughout. There are werewolf vs vampire fights, ghost lovers, genies, giant trolls, gargoyles, demon chases through toy shops, vampire crossfit, cursed hats.... It would be a worthy winner. Also...it has Matt Berry! Douglas from IT Crowd if you don't know. And the rest of the cast is just peerlessly great. It's one of the best casts in any comedy I've ever seen.
