You can watch this on Christmas Day in your lockdown while waiting on the last miserable days of the year. You can fit it inbetween your Christmas lunch meant for 20 between the two of you and watching the Queen go on about her horrible annus. I take it that headline is ironic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidingPie Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 We've started watched Misfits on Netflix (though originally on channel 4). Its exactly what you'd expect with the words "channel 4 decide to do a series about people getting super powers, but they've all got asbo's as well" Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton in GoT) plays a good role and frankly, if they ever reboot Blakes 7 he gets my vote to play Avon. The first few episodes, are a bit full on and I'm glad they calmed down some of the characters a bit otherwise I doubt I'd have stayed with it, but when it hits its stride its a lot of fun.

I'm happy with 1 all programme! 1 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.

graveyard johnny Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 what we need now is another series of a man smirking grinning and sniggering on a baking programme- a man with no talent whatsoever but must have a great agent - a man who has a first name like xmas - a man who is as funny as passing blood through your penis see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidingPie Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Ok we’re a bit odd in our house and watch Bake Off. Can’t believe people have complained about the opening.

Derwent Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Criminal : United Kingdom on Netflix is very good. David Tennant’s acting performance in episode 1 is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time, absolutely nailed it.

Bleep1673 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Very strange item traveling up and down the seafront today, there was a car being towed behind a truck, but it seemed lost as it was going backwards and forwards, east and west along the promenade, then I went out about 11am to go to Boots, and noticed the truck had floodlights on the back, then I remembered a letter we all had delivered from Channel 4 Productions that they were filming something to be shown next year, I also remember a local car park full of production company trucks. Hastings is the new Hollywood? This is about the 6th production being filmed in the last 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glemiln Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Motherless Brooklyn, 2019 Sky Cinema 1950s New York, a lonely private detective afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome, ventures to solve the murder of his mentor and only friend. A fine depiction of the era and excellent performance by Edward Norton, who wrote the screenplay and directed. Class acts too from William Defoe and Bobby Cannavale and the cast in general. Some great lines - “Got through Guadalcanal without a scratch, and I get shot with my own gun - in Queens!” - and fine jazz in Harlem. Nearly 2.5 hours to enjoy.

He's an oddity. Sometimes he can be very funny, but a lot of the time, he doesn't seem to be trying. I remember hearing an interview with him about how he creates his comedy, and it all sounded more like a business than a pleasure for him.

Futtocks Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Sky Arts, as of about 10 days ago, has a Freeview channel! Channel 11, to be precise. Okay, it isn't HD but this is very good news.
