Ian Holm and Mel Martin in the lead roles, with an international ensemble supporting them. Dated, but marvellous. Never saw it when it was broadcast, but I have just looked up the cast - wow! 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Futtocks Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The man who plays Homer Simpson and Derek Smalls has just made a joke on live national TV about Adam Hills getting knocked out playing Rugby League. We are living in a very strange world indeed. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

The man is a Swindon Town legend and I won't hear a word against him. Definitely my favourite player to have ever worn my teams shirt. Plus he tipped well at Christmas, on my paper round! Top bloke!

ivans82 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Documentary film on Eric Clapton on BBC 2 last night was very interesting in parts and harrowing in others . What a life he has had from one extreme to the other , talk about what life throws at you .Anyone remotely into E C should watch it on catch up .

ckn Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The Blacklist, Season 5. I'm now sick to the back teeth of this show and probably won't watch Season 6 when it comes out. I'm not sure whether it's the actor or the script writing but Liz has to be the most bone thick, untrustworthy, grossly negligent, reckless and outright abysmal FBI agent TV has ever portrayed. Right from the first episodes, the script has had to drag her along and only James Spader's "Red" and Dembe keep the show from being turned off in the first 30 seconds. The Season 5 finale is right out of the "here's how not to write screenplays" lessons that writers will have had. The episode before had a blunt-ended tyre-iron stab right into someone's gut from falling from about 2-3 foot away, then the worst "bear" in screenplay history that was even less convincing than Rainbow's Bungle. This episode must have been written by a drunken intern having a laugh and it somehow passed into the show. The finale "reveal" was pathetic, Liz's character now needs to accidentally fall into a tree shredder if the show has any hope of recovering from this level of abysmal writing. Seasons 1-3 were outstanding, barring the season finale betrayals, season 4 was weak, season 5 has only been kept alive on life support by Spader's skills as an actor. 1 "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...

Futtocks Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Well, even if you just have FreeView, a re-scan will give you half a dozen extra Wimbledon channels right now, and the Inverdolt can't be on all of them.

He was working for ITV during the French Open, they should not employ someone as dismal as him. His Marion Bartolli sexist comments should've had him blacklisted (if that is still a PC phrase).

I grew up watching the TV series, and only discovered the book and the movie much more recently, and love them too, despite them being quite different.
