ckn Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 We watched Pride tonight. Actually quite good.I remember my granddad showing me the Sun headline about this during the miners strike when I was younger about this and saying "divide and conquer, that's how they'll win" meaning Thatcher and trying to divide society by making those "different" something less than the rest of us. It actually made me remember that woman on Question Time complaining that the cuts she was cheering on were now affecting her. Edit: an article about the film for those who don't know the back story "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Rhino Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Watched episode 1 of The A Word on BBC 1 tonight. Now I have no experience of dealing with a child with autism but my wife does through her job. She thinks it's being portrayed very well so far. If nothing else it's also a funny, well acted television program. I'm sure there will be tears also later in the series. Christopher Eccleston is in it so it is easy to recommend it.

Futtocks Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I recently installed the Channel 4 app on my Amazon Fire Stick and they have the complete sets of 'Absolutely' and 'The Adam & Joe Show' available to watch free. Given that there's been close to naff all special on TV this holiday weekend, this has been a godsend.

Some of the more soapy bits seemed unnecessary and distracting but even whilst Little Ginger isn't identical to the boy in question a huge amount of it rang true - although they did compress the diagnosis into one or two sessions where for most people it's a lot *lot* more time than that.

Kenilworth Tiger Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The Night Manager was one of the best programmes I've ever seen Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

Derwent Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The Night Manager was one of the best programmes I've ever seen Agreed, one of those series that shows that when the BBC gets it right they are the best in the world. The show was very well written and very well casted - Hugh Laurie was brilliant as Roper, and Olivia Colman is brilliant in everything she does. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Homes Under the Hammer has helped us reach our first £125,000 cash savings profit from a sale, we will be on there soon. Martin, Lucy or Dion? With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it a lot, once I got into it. Yeah I liked it in the end. Only six episodes like. The 80s music was fun and it almsot got a bit poignant at times. Plus my mate was in it.

Rodill Rover Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I recognized him as the dogger as soon as I heard his voice, it took me straight back to Kenny Senior in Phoenix Nights, a very funny character. I have also seen him do a very accomplished stand up at The City Varieties Leeds some years ago as part of a Tour with Paddy Mcguiness and some others from Phoenix Nights. Would always welcome seeing more comedy from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he got into comedy later in life which he was made for. https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Rhino Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Discovered Demand 4 has all 7 series of Hill Street Blues. What a brilliant program. 35 years old and as good as I remembered it. Better than most tv shows nowadays. Way ahead of its time.

ckn Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Now that the season finale to The Walking Dead is tomorrow, I've started watching the second half of season 6. Damn, the first episode (No Way Out) was good. Pity it's a work night or that'd be a binge watch.

Just finished watching episode 1. Okay, Spiro is not nearly gnarled and gruff enough, and Theodore is about 30 years too young. Otherwise, very few bum notes. It takes me to a happy place.
