@R-L Celebrity? I don't recognise a single one.
Exactly. Should be titled 'I'm a D-Lister desperately trying to raise my profile'
I have to say though, Brits get really obsessed with 'celebrities'. Seeing one in the street is a big topic for conversation yet the funniest thing is that the brit 'politeness' kicks in and the 'celebs' can go about their business without much hassle.
I had a workmate come to work one morning all excited because he saw someone who used to play a bit part in a series of Doctor Who in the street. Weird thing was that everyone knew who he was talking about and agreed that it was exciting.
When I commented that Doctor Who himself (the Capaldi) version was waiting to board a plane at Wellington Airport with a group of us on a work trip they all creamed themselves.Odd people.
To be fair I got a similar response here when I had breakfast with Damien MacKenzie , Liam Squire, Jerome Kaino and Joe Moody
75% of those players didn't make the RWC ... no breakfasts with ABs for @jegga during this RWC cycle.

@Crucial yeah it's weird eh, get absolutely obsessed with "celebrity" status. Some of the shit shows or hosts that turn up with these "celebrities" in as well just because they're "celebrities"! And shit that tries to create them...like that fucken gogglebox....did I see there's now "celebrity" gogglebox?

@antipodean I might watch this ... Haskell loves to talk and is extremely opinionated (can be funny at times). I would suspect this, combined with a lack of food (the guy is massive) will put a lot of this year’s ‘celebrities’ on edge.
-
@jegga I actually missed ever hearing this story.

9 looks like James Haskell . The rest are probably famous for being on this show.
It is Haskell. I'd say Caitlyn Jenner is easily the most famous, maybe followed by Ian Wright and James
I see which one is Jenner - I thought it looked like a haggard middle aged woman. Some sort of cleaned up meth using homeless whore for a couple of decades. Famous in real life for donning a dress in order to not go to prison.
Haskell is "famous" for being a Test rugby player despite being severely limited.
If it's possible you've just made the show even less compelling to watch.
Hey it is what it is, entertaining car crash TV! I will be watching. My rule is a couple of episodes and if it's boring I'll ditch it, but it never is and I love seeing people squirm!

I don’t like to brag about it

@taniwharugby said in TV Serieseseses:
@NTA the new series?
Haven't got there yet. Still rewatching S1 & 2 from when I saw it on Netflix.
Reckon I'll be into S3 some time this weekend
-
Finished S2 of Jack Ryan.
Enjoyed it, probably better than S1 but then I like the genre so yeah.
-
-
@Machpants probably not as gung-ho as most...not read the books, but more action than thriller.
-
@taniwharugby Thanks I'll check it out

Are you watching this on Prime Video or from an alternative source?
I am thinking of signing up for a short time to watch some of their shows which are starting up again soon.
-
@Bovidae alternative source this time...
-
@taniwharugby There are so many streaming services now.
Disney+ will be available in NZ from next week and will be very popular because of the Marvel and Star Wars content, not to mention Pixar movies and National Geographic documentaries. I want to watch The Mandalorian but only 2 episodes will be available at launch and will be released weekly after that. Therefore, best to wait until after Xmas to be able to the whole season.
