Good news. I bet it will have bit again.
What is the “luvie alarm” that goes off? Is luvie another term for “super gay” or “flaming gay” in England? I think it goes off when Stephen does something really gay.
Watch Series 3, episode 10(Cleve Crudington). It’s about 5-8 minutes in.
Luvvie seems to be a term actors stereotypically call each other. So when someone tells a story with another celebrity involved to show who they know, it’s a luvvie alarm.
From the thefreedictionary.com:
It’s supposed to be camp, I think.
Are you thinking of Have I Got News For You? It’s a long running topical news panel quiz. Ian Hislop is the smug Tory who laughs at his own jokes, although if the readers here are expecting a Fox New style panelist, they’ll be disappointed. He may be a conservative, but he’s no extremist.
A luvvie is also known as a ‘thesp’ (thespian). A sort of over-the-top classical British actor-type who greets his colleagues with ‘Luvvie! Darling!’ Mwah Mwah (ostentatious cheek kissing). Not necessarily gay. Think Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir John Gielgud. The sort of person that opens a sentence with “When I was playing Cleopatra to Larry’s Anthony at the National…”
Just joining the love. What other show will tell you what happens when you put smarties tubes on cats’ legs?
Not necessarily gay, but Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud? Heh.
I get it, though. 
I know, I know. Olivier was most likely bi.
Ian Hislop and Paul Merton are very much conservative and liberal respectively in the lowercase mode. Hislop has never withheld his scorn for the antics of the Tories, nor has Merton promoted a political agenda as far as I know.
Mythbusters, if it runs long enough.
QI returns to UK TV, BBC2, tonight.
Not that this concerns me, of course, for I do not live in the UK and must therefore wait for it to screen locally. ahemahem*
Thanks for the heads up! I, too, will be impatiently awaiting its duly scheduled arrival on our shores.
I won’t link, but the first one is up on Youtube already. XL version, too.
I see that the “Idleness” episode is also floating around on Youtube. Apparently, Jeremy Clarkson made a fool of himself about some public strikes and they delayed the episode.
When does “The Immortal Bard” episode air. It has David Mitchell, my favorite panelist.
Mahaloth, it aired the other day and indeed, David Mitchell was on it. It was pretty good and yes, it is floating around the Youtubes.
