and get three points.

What have you been watching this week? (w/e 3 July)

What have you been watching this week?

Not much here, I’m afraid. I’m currently working my way through episode two of The Philanthropist which is slightly more offensive but slightly more involving this week. That Mitchell and Webb Look was a little bit lacklustre. The Daily Show was a bit tatt, thanks to that women off Flight of the Conchords, who couldn’t have worse comic timing or lines if she tried. Top Gear was fun. But that’s about it really.

You?

As always, no spoilers unless you’re going to use the <spoiler> </spoiler> tags, please

Peter Serafinowicz is all over the place

3 July 2009 Rob Buckley Post a comment

Peter Serafinowicz seems to be all over the place, these days. He’s on tele, he’s on the Internet, he’s in the movies. What a busy chap.

Here are some recent and forthcoming highlights for your enjoyment. In the first, he’s out with Sarah Alexander when he bumps into Will Arnett and Amy Poehler.

He’s also starring with Jon Favreau, Kristen Bell, Jason Bateman, Kristin Davis, Malin Akerman, Kali Hawk, Faizon Love and Jean Reno in Couples Retreat:

And to prove he’s not gone all big time, he’s still working with Look Around You partner Robert Popper on Radio Spiritworld, the only radio station to broadcast from the after-life. You can subscribe to it in iTunes.
