A Dog and a Bell

Yesterday I mentioned Ricky Gervais, but somehow omitted the massive news that he's hosting the Golden Globes again.

I love how the organisers have forgotten their indignation from last year as they desperately try to boost viewing figures. Here's hoping Gervais' tongue is even sharper this year.

It seems that Pavlov's Dogs learn faster than the Hollywood Foreign Press.

Praise is too short

It's really easy for everyone to jump on the "I hate Ricky Gervais" bandwagon that critics roll out whenever he comes up with a new show. How quickly they forget how funny Extras was, or how The Office genuinely changed global comedy.

Was Life's Too Short as memorable as it's predecessors? Who can tell, yet? We've only seen the first episode. Let the characters establish themselves before you jump to negative conclusions.

Personally, I thought the whole thing was fairly funny until Liam Neeson turned up, at which point I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
