I watched the lot, including the pilot, in two sittings. I don't have kids, but still got the sense of desperation and the humour.

Bedford Roughyed Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Detectorists and Star Wars both done today. Managed to stay spoiler free for both! 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 know the monastaries owned certain 'rights' to them before the Reformation but who owns them now?...in Canada they are the property of the Crown (and lakes also), therefore any citizen of the Crown is allowed to use them due to common law (same with all Crown lands which is most of Canada)...I always make a point of camping on Crown land since its free...is it not the same over there? When you say right of access do you mean putting in your boat? Oh My God!...the map you shows looks awful, like a nightmare to dedicated paddler! "The right to paddle", now thats a laugh, now thats a good one...I've never tolerated such nonsense unless there is a very specific reason (e.g dangerous water, habitat protection, etc (must be reasonable) you people are way to complacent over there....FREEDOM!

They are touring next year ... I'm trying not to gush but that was just about as good a return as could possibly have been hoped for. Utterly faithful to the original series of so many years ago without being slaves to it. Even setting up the obvious one for Chinnery the vet worked because it was so damn knowing ... and then so damn brutal. And in other news, I polished off Star Trek: Discovery in double quick time. First Trek I've watched since Deep Space Nine so I can't compare it to Voyager, Enterprise or the recent movies but I'll assume it thwacks their dull bottoms.

Futtocks Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 A couple of call-backs in last night's 'League of Gentlemen'. The town being merged with Spent, the location of the original (radio) series, and the episode ending with the two women trapped "Inside No.9".

You have the TOSser (The Original Series) trekkies who rail against any Klingon wearing anything other than dusky Arabic looking spray tan. You have the Next Generation trekkies who rail against anything other than a Cornish pastie forehead Klingon. You get anyone with the slightest bit of anal retention over Star Trek railing against the modern "reboot" movies. You then get the lot who see anyone other than a straight white male cast in a major role as a "victory" (either sarcastically negative or hyperactively positive) for diversity rather than it simply being the best actor for the role. Who gives a **** what someone's demographic grouping is if they're a good actor who does justice to the role? Also, who cares if the writer casts a role as a gay man or writes a polyamorous Klingon/Tribble marriage, we actually do have gay people in society you know, and some "normal" marriages I've seen between men and women would best be described as "different". You can probably tell I read the internet reviews of Star Trek: Discovery. I think they were reviewing a different TV show to the one I watched as the one I watched was a well constructed TV series that's actually very well written and acted, with intelligent casting, enjoyable stories and a very good character arc, all written within a logical structure within the overall Star Trek "universe". 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...

In my opinion, the Christmas Special (after series 2) wasn't up to the high standards of the regular episodes. It was still okay, but not quite as good.

Made teenage sons watch the first couple of episodes beforehand and there was a seriously impressive number of callbacks. I hadn't noticed the Huddersfield dialling code on some of the businesses the first time through, either. I thought it was brilliantly done. I rarely watch tv though.

Last night's episode was as strong as their best work (i.e. not series 3 or the feature film).
