ryanrizzle1337 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Also, Man Vs Bee on netflix (or Amazon) Made me laugh a bit, better than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Binge watched the first four episodes of 'The Suspect' yesterday, brilliantly written and performed, can't wait for the next episode on Monday. Blast from the past I never expected to see the light of day again, 'Til Death Us Do Part' with all the 'naughty' and 'inappropriate' words bleeped out. Alf Garnet at his very best, spitting vitriole in all directions...if you're only a young'un and never heard of him have a watch, well worth it... It's on the 'That's TV' channnel... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might give it another chance cos I like Joseph Gilgun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on that after the second episode. It suffers from one of the things that ruins a lot of TV thrillers for me - the plot being driven along by the main character doing inexplicably stupid things, I just think that's lazy writing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have but not enough that you can't work out the racist and misogynistic language. As Alf comes off worse in every argument I've always believed the show's a good advert against such attitudes... ...shame the censors don't see it that way. All we need now is 'Love Thy Neighbour' to make a reappearance... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we need now is 'Love Thy Neighbour' to make a reappearance... They clearly didn't get it if they've censored it, the whole point of it was to take the piss out of Alf's moronic bigotry (unfortunately a lot of the viewers didn't get it either and thought he was the 'hero' of the show ). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) @Boojum Exactly right booj mate, I seem to remember Warren Mitchell being interviewed. He said idiots used to come up to him in the street and say things like'go on Alf stick it to the coons'... ...to which he replied (not verbatim) something like 'fuck off you ignorant prick' as they missed the point entirely.

Saddam Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) I think he said 'we're actually laughing at you'. Edited to add - At a Spurs game 'Oi Warren I love it when Alf takes the piss out of the ****' and he replied 'Actually, we're taking the piss out of you'.

Saddam Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Quantum Leap (2022) If AIDS was pretentious it would be called Quantum Leap 2022. Just another soon-to-be-cancelled reboot of something that was once special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Dunno man, I don't think the original was anything special, it was just a rehash of the same old Irwin Allen formula of Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel etc that American TV has been reusing for decades (with some nauseating Christian bullshit thrown in). It was basically Highway to Heaven with time travel instead of angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growinggold Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 hard watch but "help" is great TV film. Jodie Cromer an Stephen Graham smash it. both the best in the game if you ask me. phwaarr n Jodie is just so so beautiful. like top class beautiful her knack to master any accent is outstanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 I've been watching Community on Netflix (I'd never heard of it). Sitcom made between 2009 and 2014 created by Dan Harmon, co-creator of Rick and Morty. It can be a bit hit and miss, sometimes the quirkiness can be a bit wearing but when it hits I think it's very funny and clever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 I think House of the Dragon is kinda growing into something that could be good. Thought the first few episodes were shite, but I've persevered with it. I think the forwarding in time anc change of actors last episode was pretty clumsy. But I've got to admit I thought the latest episode was actually pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
