32:51 - 33:12 Happened to read this very recently in a book called 'Novelists on the Novel'. Ford Madox Ford ('The Good Soldier') writes about Joseph Conrad's work ('Heart of Darkness', 'Nostromo'): 'One unalterable rule that we had for the rendering of conversations - for genuine conversations that are an exchange of thought, not interrogatives or statements of fact - was that no speech of one character could ever answer the speech that goes before it. This is almost invariably the case in real life where few people listen, because they are always preparing for their next speeches...'
One of the most interesting episodes of one of the best series on TV ever

Very different episode but I think its my favourite

Did they film this next to a school playground or something?
Many of these guys sound like text book ADHD around the procrastination.
I just came here to say this
Weird how people are drawn to the kind of work that is essentially kryptonite for them.
What a complete monster Linehan became eh. These days were very much simpler.
Standing up for what he believes in
All of these shows are really bad in my opinion. Except Peep Show which is total genius.
You've either got abysmal taste or you missed Graham Linehan somehow
You may consider them really bad - but you should read the stuff that doesn’t get made.
Father ted, black books, shameless and The IT Crowd are bad to you?!
