Although none of us know what Freeview is, it has enough pull to trick Tivo US into allowing the name change.

Ep 117: Peep Show

Monday
Jan 28,2008

We?re back baby!! Cutting up them boxes and causing strife.

This week we review what kept us interested televisually over the summer months. Debate rages over the inherent hilarity (or lack thereof) in UK import Peep Show. And we Don’t Buy some ads from the tennis (both long and short form).

Plus all the usual news views and slander you’ve come to know and love.

117 — Hungry for your ears.

Welcome to BOXCUTTERS SPECIAL EDITION BRAVO.

For your listening convenience and pleasure this episode has been divided into two parts.

In the first part the three merry men look at the 2007 ? the year that was. What rocked, what sucked and everything in-between.

Later some friends drop by the studio for some fun and frivolity, including Marieke Hardy, James Talia and Jess McGuire, while Tom Elliott is kind enough to interrupt his holiday to call in.

Special edition Bravo ? more fun than your ears can handle.

Firstly there are some issues with sound this week so apologise about that.

Secondly there are some issues with humour, but hey if we haven’t apologised in the last 110 eps we aren’t starting now.

Content a-plenty in this week’s instalment.

In Raywatch we examine the latest Today Tonight/Chaser fiasco.

It’s a BIG Fall with The Big Bang Theory and Big Shots.

There’s an I Don’t Buy It that’s hard to swallow.

We pick over the unsatisfactory bones of Californication. Or was it all a dream?

There’s some Letters To Boxcutters.

And some unexpected DVD bonus features just in time for Christmas.

Plus the sound thing. Must be the heat. And the gremlins. Although the fact that it is a bit strange and really not quite right sums up the whole episode really.
