I’ll have to watch it on catchup. I’ll also give The Killing Season on All 4 which is on tomorrow (i think). I watched it. it was uncomfortable viewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's got Adrian Dunbar in it you're safe. I thought the first episode was trite from the opening scene onwards; detective arrives at crime scene with takeaway coffee, lifts the barrier tape and gets the lowdown from forensics. There is indeed a cd about to be released. I haven't bothered with it since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the self deprecation out of the way early doors , would have been funnier if he had said he had been staying in Wigan during lockdown to write the gags for this tour. Some gags hit the mark , but to repeat them over and over and over again was filler...and lazy. Out of the blue a SHOUTED rant against John Cleese , which was about the only thing he did not repeat. He mentioned his 15 year old son during the gig who probably wrote the skit on Ricky Gervais . 6 out of 10 , I am being generous as it was taped in my home City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 This is being shown again this evening. An unusual and fascinating documentary - very much recommended.

Gordon Street Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) I watched this made for TV movie on Netflix last night. It was called;'I Came By'. Decent quality cast including Hugh Bonneville and Kelly McDonald. Bonneville was hugely upstaged by this double breasted immaculately tailored sage green silk suit. Nevertheless it was a decent tale occupying what might be he psychological thriller genre. One of the crucial aspects of the plot involved Bonneville, cast against type, regularly and frequently, cremating stiffs in a ceramics kiln in the cellar, flushing the ashes down the bog and nobody being any the wiser. I used to teach pottery. Even with a ventilation hood, the fumes and smoke from the burning flesh, bones and viscera wouldn't have just stunk the cellar out leaving deposits that would have been a forensics expert's playground, but would have stunk the house out along with the entire neighbourhood and surrounding neighbourhoods and probably the whole suburb. When I told my wife, she said I was being picky. Edited September 6, 2022 by Gordon Street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Just giving episode 1 of Amazon's The Rings of Power a go. You can certainly see where the money went, and the New Zealand scenery is, as always, spectacular. But this first part is mainly establishing the who, the where and the why, so I'll have to see episode 2 at least.

Futtocks Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 A bit of very good news in these troubled times.

Adelaide Tiger Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It’s Friday night, the wife and eldest daughter are in the UK for a few weeks visiting family, the other daughter is stopping at the boyfriends house tonight and I am sat watching episodes of Randall and Hopkirk Deceased. Loved the show as a kid but I can’t believe that I could not remember Annette Andre as Marty’s wife Jean. She was an absolute stunner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 For @Futtocks 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. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee is brilliant at commentating on the direction the country is going in, and the sort of people who are taking it in that direction. But there seemed to be an element of primal scream therapy in his performance, as if he were trying to exorcise his quite legitimate feelings for Ricky Gervais, who is a recurring theme in his work, amongst other things.

Vambo Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Sledge Hammer! Oh my. Haven't watched this since it aired back in the day. Just rewatched the first episode (pilot) and it still cracks me up. If you liked Police Squad/Naked Gun then you may very well like this as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 In recent months I've been trying a lot of old comedies that have just passed me by over the years. Tonight I've decided to give Gavin and Stacey a go after putting it off for ages assuming, from what little I've seen of it on trailers that it wouldn't be my sort of thing. I've watched the first two episodes and am massively shocked to find myself enjoying it quite a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched the first two episodes and am massively shocked to find myself enjoying it quite a lot! I know what you mean. I saw a few clips and found it annoying (because they usually featured Corden being the very worst laddish version of Corden), but a full episode showed there was more to it. Despite the title, it is an ensemble effort. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Bearman Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Crossfire on BBC now. My wife and I stayed in that very hotel in Tenerife a couple of years ago. Its part of a nature reserve with direct access through tunnels into the park. Just like Keely Hawkes' room it overlooked the entertainment area. It could have been the very room.
