my missus Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 well just caught the third episode of WandaVision and all i can say is stranger and stranger. Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes I can barely define the shape of this moment in time(roger waters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverback Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Just caught this Bay filmed in morecambe and its decent, also managed to get into the bridge after a couple goes and its catching. Hrad work finding things to get stuck into, i dont understand why so many discovery programs have someone banging hell out of the drums all way thru, or switching to some muppet a few times telling us in detail waving arms about what we have just see anyway.

Rob Bell is the worst for that , talking as if he is telling a bedtime story to a 3 year old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I find him unintentionally funny as he has only one pitch, which is total excitement. he hasn't run out of superlatives yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Last night I binged on series one of Staged with Michael Sheen & David Tennant. Some of it was very good and funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Obviously advertisers think people who watch telly during the day are all old , ill or on the brink of death . Endless adverts for motability scooters , stairlifts , funeral plans , wills and of course old celebs earning coin from sun life insurance . But over the last year just about everyone has been at home , so that looks a bit incongruous now . As if watching telly content wasn’t depressing enough! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say I've thought the same thing, surely advertisers have got a bit of a captive audience at the moment, perfect opportunity to sell some unnecessary, mass-produced, capitalist goods!

Bedford Roughyed Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Wandavision layered more onto the story. Really liking it. A few nice throwbacks to the Avengers film series too. 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...
glemiln Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Netflix has one of its latest and best films - The Dig starring Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan. Set in 1938 at the time leading to the excavation of Sutton Hoo on Edith Pretty’s land, it’s not only about the dig, but also the relationships of those involved. It’s beautifully filmed and acted, especially the leads. (Carey’s performance as Sally Sparrow in the Dr Who episode “Blink” in 2007 is etched in my time line!)

I've always liked Carey Mulligan ever since I saw her in the crime film 'Drive', one of my favourites of that genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Looks like Talking Pictures TV is gunning for that classic Saturday morning serial feel. This is for the 6th of February.

If only champion the wonder horse was on after it. Email TPTV - they have an ever-growing list of requests, but the stumbling block is always licencing. If Champion the Wonder Horse is easy to get the rights to, it could get shown some time soon. That they've got Zorro, Flash Gordon etc. suggests that old serials may be do-able. 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
