Digitiser: The Show (series 2)

I like beans.

I had a lot of time for Biffo when he resurrected Digitiser as a website years ago but then he seemed to go off the rails a bit, with a long series of rambling posts about his personal life and people that he'd fallen out with.

I quite liked the first digi the show mind you, but haven't got a lot of time for the content he's done outwith that. It's all a bit TOO random for my tastes.

I could be tempted to punt in some cash for a second series mind you, as I think that's the one thing he does that has potential.

Yeah lost footage was odd... It reminded me of an inferior Jam. I didn't bother with a lot of it.

The thing with Digitiser on teletext, was that it was always grounded by being a games magazine.

A fair bit of his new stuff doesn't have much to do with games and is a bit untethered as a result, it's more like an extension of his writing for kids TV. Which is also pretty great but probably not for me.

I did used to read the new Digitiser2000 website when it relaunched a few years ago but the updates dried up. It was really good for a while, it had his games writing and then the odd article about weird animal taxidermy which would make me laugh.

I respect Biffo though for getting on YouTube and keeping up with the times. Just probably not for me but I hope he can get a big audience and succeed.

No, he just did a shout-out on Twitter asking if anyone could do a Geordie accent. I don't think I can, as it happens, but I'm from the North East and it seemed to be close enough for him.

I do appreciate that most of his stuff nowadays isn't really about gaming, and even the Digi show is mostly just jokes and sketches that are spun-off from a gaming theme rather than being 100% games-focused. I really enjoy that - and like I said, my favourite thing of his is Found Footage - but I can imagine he's got an audience who liked his games writing and kinda wish he'd do more of that.

His kids' TV stuff is really good, though. I had no idea when he brought Digi back that he was a TV writer, and I was making promos for CBBC at the time, and then it turned out I was literally doing the promos for his show.

I've got a lot of time for Biffo. I worried he'd faded away for a while after Digitiser 2000 started to dry up and I don't watch absolutely everything he puts out these days, but it's been great still having him around on the fringes.

I backed his new show day 1 as I do enjoy a lot of the weird and stupid shit he thinks up and it's sort of comforting knowing some of the legends of our youth are still knocking around.

I really like surreal comedy but it still has to be funny. Just saying random shit and expecting it to be funny because it's random doesn't work. And the YouTube stuff kind of fell into that category.

Like a cat inside a watermelon but it's thinks it's in a car and the cat is driving the watermelon toot toot little watermelon cat. Ohhh the watermelon cat goes zoom zoom zoom down the A19 to Cumbria. But what's this it's a dog on a banana. Jubida jubida jubida here comes the doggggg on a bananaaaaaa the cats in a watermelon and the dogs on a banana and they're heading to Cumbria to buy a Stetson.

And scene.
