03.31 | 'Pure 24' - a hangover cure, or something
You have to hand it to him - Otis Deley managed to pull a half-decent appearance on 'Pure 24' last night. It's nice to know that he's only an idiot when he's on kids' TV. And, let's face it, who wouldn't be? Otis, I apologise for slurring your character.
I liked that Charlie Porter guy, too. He was going for the 'Jarvis Cocker in pyjamas' look, which would be really bad, unless you remember that no-one watches BBC3, and it's only geeky fan-boys like me who tape the show to watch it over breakfast before going to work.
Yes, so whilst the other 3,000 (or thereabouts, probably) people who watch the show stay up late to watch it, I actually get up early to see this trash. It beats Sara Cox, at least.
The part that grabbed my attention (and made my cereal go soggy) was the guided tour around the CTU set given by Jon Cassar, the show's executive producer. There were even some interesting technical reasons given about why certain parts of the set had to be blown up. And, no, I'm not going to recount them here, because it's far too early in the morning, and why don't you try fiddling bleary-eyed with VCR buttons whilst trying to button a shirt and polish your shoes? I did it for my personal enjoyment, not yours.
There was something else 'new-ish' about 'Pure 24' that I enjoyed, but I can't quite remember what now. I'll probably think about it and update this when my brain starts working proper.
I have to go shave now before I go to work. I'll catch up later.
