The BBC2 episode was excellent, very well plotted.

BBC1, rather.

Wouldn't it be a fab job to be a researcher for this?! They came round to work to do the research for the Post Office, I think they might have borrowed a poster too, cos I did spy one.

Also, Chunky kitkat were not available in the seventies and JSims character would know that!

He does know that but every now and again he forgets himself 'whoops, oh yeah it's 1973 innit, d'oh'.
Didn't like episode 3 as much as the first two.
"Frank Miller"!

I know this is stretching the metaphor too far but last night I got to thinking "hold on if Sam's other life is "Hyde" then this one is Jeckyll: 1973Sam is the one with the sense of humanity, 200xSam is the debauched monster".

Like I say, metaphor past elastic limit.

Frank Miller?

Also in what sort of crazed world is a chunky kitkat more of a treat than a regular one? I don't pay my license fee to watch such foolishness etc etc.

Sometimes he seems to make "future" references deliberately - such as in ep 2 where he said he liked reading Dan Brown novels.

there's something about chunky kitkats i don't like tho. it could be their chunkiness, but i do love Yorkies.

question from previous series: why wouldn't Tyler bet on famous sports results?

i was gonna say the woman who plays Annie seems to be becoming worse at acting each week :( she's nearly as bad as the pub landlord.

xpost because he hasn't actually travelled back in time, therefore Arsenal lose the cup match etc...

I am forced to the conclusion that it's in fancy media circles that chunky kitkats are considered preferable to normal ones, and this explains why I have never before encountered such madness.

Steve, he went on about Red Rum didn't he?

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

does a chunky kitkat actually give you more chocolate or even biscuit than a standard four-finger kitkat? or are they just filled with lots of air, like tennis balls?

Red Rum? Red Rub more like

Winning at 9-1, he was far from rub!

i guess one good reason to know old sports results is if you get sent back in time. i would suck at it.

but maybe i would get cool points by listening to can and stuff like that.
