The Elbow TV Thread

crawling with idiot on karl pilkington documentary

There was a programme or news article on the other day where they were talking about holes in something, and the "hole in the neighbourhood" bit from Grounds for Divorce was playing in the background.

Look out for Hollyoaks tomorrow evening.

Some Riot is featured more or less throughout the whole programme.

Especially funny is the edit on "fuckers"

Quite. It was an article about moths eating your clothes and they just kept repeating the above mentioned line. The only reason I think they used it was because it had the word 'hole' in the sentence and Elbow are the cool band of the moment. It had no relevance to the article at all.

Elbow Radio Thread this one. There was a really good interview with Guy on this evening's Front Row on Radio 4 presented by Mark Lawson (Mon 20th Oct)

and find links for the 'Listen Again' feature. Guy's interview is about 15 minutes in (after Tony Curtis interview) until the end of the show.

I love front row, i love radio four in general, sad i missed it, i'll try and listen again!

Thanks for that Hotblack. If only I was the Emma he was talking about.......!

First chorus, second verse and second chorus of 'Red' was played during Secret Diary Of A Call Girl (ITV2 thing starring Billie "I think Winston is a cool name for a baby" Piper) last night.

One Day Like This used for something (can't remember what - wasn't paying attention and it seemed like innapropriate useage anyway) on the One Show the other evening.

One Day Like This
On Strictly Come Dancing Sunday night results show 26/10
My wife is now getting sick of me saying "This is elbow this" so they must be on a lot these days

I heard that too! Brought a lump to my throat.

FRIEND OF OURS on the ONE SHOW

SSK is really getting some airplay and TV play now. Friend of ours?!?! Bloody Hell!!!!

Nice...those PRS royalties keep rolling in for the Elboys

Grounds for Divorce was on Top Gear last night.

Great - I recorded it for the kids last night, both of whom claim to hate Elbow to annoy me. So I'll really enjoy watching this with them.

Not only Elbow, but the stuff with the trucks was brilliant. Haven't laughed so much in ages.

Oh yes. Utterly brilliant in nearly every single way.

I do like me some top gear!

I missed it I love it

i feel an new thread coming along...

Go on iPlayer.

One last post before I let this thread drift back on topic; I was at Dunsfold a couple of weeks back and took this shot (amongst others)

Grounds For Divorce was used to advertise a new C4 drama called something like The Devil's Whore set during the English Civil War I believe.

I saw it last night after the Time Team special on the WWI bunker.

It's not strictly TV, but grounds for divorce is the soundtrack for the trailer for Left 4 Dead.
