Not one Shetland accent, legally illiterate dialogue, every character has one set of clothes, Perez is a shite polis who just accuses everyone and eventually has the answer revealed to him. I watched about 5 minutes of it once and I heard 2 Aberdeen accents, a Weegie accent and fuck knows what the other one was, but it wasn't Shetland, or Caitness, or Inverness, or anywhere north of Perth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 On 20/09/2022 at 21:32, The Naitch said: Michael Palin in Iraq on Channel 5 is utterly fascinating. Much like his North Korea documentary a couple of years ago. As someone who has been to 90% of the places he is going to in this series, I can vouch that it’s about the most authentic picture of the country you’ll get on that level. Compare and contrast with the Top Gear nonsense from a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Dont Hug Me I'm Scared has finally made it's transition from Web series to Channel 4. Watched all 6 episodes on All4 and like the original, it lives rent free in my head. Was worried how it would translate from 8-12 minute web episodes to a 23 minute format but it works perfectly. An amazing mixture of creepy, funny, surrealism and wonderful voice acting. It's not for everyone but I just love it! If you've never seen it, go do the 6 web episodes first. You don't really need to but you'll fully understand a lot of the easter eggs in it if you do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Was watching ninja warrior last night and flicked over to bbc 1 during the break to catch a bit of the hit list. Same wifie presenting both programmes. Riled me up no end for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Sensationalists: The Bad Girls and Boys of British Art If, like me, the last few weeks has been a living hell, realising what a dull, backward, conservative shite pit this country can be then this show can restore your faith in your fellow subjects. It’s a three part BBC doc, narrated by Keith Allen, charting the rise of the modern art movement in London through the 1980s into the 90s. It’s less about the quality of the art (though seeing Damien Hirst’s shark in the gallery is very striking) and more about bright young things putting a rocket up the establishment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Bluey. Australian kids cartoon about a family of dogs. Pitched absolutely perfectly for likeability of the characters, life lessons and humour. Fantastic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Bluey. Australian kids cartoon about a family of dogs. Pitched absolutely perfectly for likeability of the characters, life lessons and humour. Fantastic.Watched a few more with 5 year old grandson yesterday in addition to all previous ones over the last couple of years. Terrific stuff...for the target audience obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Watching what I think could be the worst film ever made, Made in Italy with Liam Neeson and his son doing up a house in Tuscany, with some seriously cringy attempts at romantic interludes and bereavement. It's so shite I have to watch it till the end just to see how bad it gets. Film Four. Liam Neeson should stick to revenge movies and with this tripe he's probably destroyed any hope his son had of an acting career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Russia 1985-1999. (iPlayer) Three episodes in so far. Adam Curtis' latest. It's not usual Curtis style- no voice over for starters, and no ridiculously convoluted linking of relatively obscure narratives. It's a relatively straight look at life in mainly Russia with bits of other Soviet Republics "through the collapse of communism.... And Democracy". People more familiar with the history might notice some discrepancies but to me it seems less fast and loose with the facts than some previous efforts. He's covered much of the early episodes about the plan etc in Pandora's box before. I wouldn't watch it if you want to get a clear linear sequence of how events relate to each other. Things just happen which is quite, presumably deliberately, disorienting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Been catching up on The Walk In, about the takedown of neo-Nazi terror group National Action. Stephen Graham stars as Michael F Collins, an ex National Front member turned anti fascist campaigner, who helped bring down NA.It’s interesting in its portrayal of Robbie, the NA member the drama most focuses on. It shows how he could be lead into joining a group like NA and the attraction that they might have to young men. It also starts Tommen Baratheon as a Nazi paedo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
