More because it’s vaguely amusing and you get to see Blake Lively (Serena) do the robot than because it’s very funny, here’s the Gossip Girl season two gag reel.
And although Hugh Laurie gets all the kudos these days for his American accent, Ed Westwick who plays Chuck Bass does an equally good job I think – and here’s proof of just how English he is in real life, together with his advice on how to convince people you’re American. He might be joking.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
