Archie McSquackle Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 We saw the last 5 minutes last night after flicking the channels after watching something else. It looked as though they actually had some interesting archive footage there, totally wasted by the voiceovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 My ma watches that Masked Singer and some of the fucking mental suggestions the judges make for who the singers are. Tom Hardy giving up a gig to do some shite ITV talent show, nae danger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Restless Natives just starting on BBC Scotland. Magnificent. Edit - film's not even 10 minutes old, and we've already got Nanette Newman and Yosser Hughes. Great stuff.

What a series. Russell T Davies is an absolute master of his craft and I'll not hear otherwise. Spoiler Fucking hell. Episode 3 left me in bits. What happened to Colin was utterly heartbreaking. Ritchie was an absolute c**t, you're right. Took after his mum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'm three episodes into It's A Sin, fantastic so far. That whole time period must have been absolutely terrifying for gay men, who often faced up to this isolated from the normal support networks of family etc and who were ostracised from society at that point. The different reactions you see from the people involved are played so well and naturally, you can understand why some people just avoided thinking about it or rfefused to believe it. It would be hard enough to process something like that when you are 50 let along 20. Andrew Sullivan wrote a piece in the early 90s about what facing up to a tidal wave of death was like for the gay men in New York at that time, It's A Sin reminded me of that - https://newrepublic.com/article/113639/andrew-sullivans-gay-life-gay-death-1990 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Three Men Four Wheels New 10 part motoring series on Discovery Plus. Marino Franchitti and two other blokes take turns at picking a classic/race car which they discuss then MF drives. About 23 minutes per episode but would've been better at double that. A bit too much chat and not enough driving round the track but still worth a watch for petrol heads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Watched some of It’s A Sin but couldn’t get beyond the writing being full of modern speech. People didn’t say “So..”, “OMG” or “Like” every few seconds in the 1980s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the rest of the series lives up to that first episode. I binge watched the entire series yesterday. Laughed and cried in equal measure. Excellent tv. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Document: 72 hours, on the NHK World tv channel, Tues mornings. As the title, a camera crew spends 3 days in a specific location in Japan asking folk why they're there, what it means to them etc. Locations vary from a classic motorbike rally, a Tokyo city off-licence, carp fishing pond, National Parks etc Fascinating 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
