Finished this on iplayer tonight and was most enjoyable. Watching this as well and have a couple of episodes to go. Whilst I'm enjoying it and Freeman is excellent, I just find the whole thing a bit far fetched and the fact he seems to just wander around doing whatever the f**k he fancies rather than actually arrest folk doesn't seem very believable Pretty much the same opinion as myself - enjoyable but it doesn't seem like a very realistic scenario. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Not sure if this is the correct thread for this but for those staying in tonight cult horror flick The Abominable Dr. Phibes is on Talking Pictures (Sky328) at 9.05pm. The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) - IMDb Quote Doctors are being murdered in bizarre manners - bats, bees, a killer frog mask, etc. - which represent the nine Biblical plagues of Egypt. The crimes are orchestrated by an organ-playing, demented madman (from his home base, replete with a clockwork orchestra and help from a beautiful, mute assistant). Detectives are stumped until they find that all the slain doctors once assisted a Dr. Vesalius on an unsuccessful operation involving the wife of organist Dr. Phibes, killed in a car crash upon learning of his wife's death. He couldn't be the culprit, could he? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage wasn't as bad as I thought he might be, he should listen to the old groundsman a bit more. I thought Smethurst came across very well and they've made a great job of the ground. More trouble at Charnock Richard yesterday. The club have invited proganists in to explain. No mention of Ruel St or yer Maw. https://macclesfieldfc.com/2022/01/22/a-message-from-our-owners/ Savage comes across as awful IMO although probably compared to normal humans. Compared to savage it's probably not too bad. Why the f**k is he in the dressing room. Heavy Big Ron Manager vibes which is also god tier cringe TV 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Around the aworld in 80 days. Simultaneously racist and for this woke lefty far too on the nose heavy handed anti imperialist (I'm anti -imperialist but anti heavy handedness). Also for a show about a round the world race tediously slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Didn't know Martin Freeman had a performance like that in him. If you pushed the idea of The Responder, I think everyone would have recommended the same lead but what Freeman produced was on a par with what you'd had expected from Stephen Graham, but in a way that didn't steal the whole show. Strong cast in.general. Maybe not the strongest storyline but as a character-piece, it was excellent. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story was hard to take entirely seriously but cannot fault the acting and as you say, Freeman was excellent, hopefully see him getting more roles like this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanton Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Rumpole of the Bailey on The Talking Pictures channel, it's a wee bit dated nowadays but still good , also it's seems like Patrica Hodge has always been old she looks practically the same age then as she does now . The Missing ( series 1) on catch up , this is the series that was forerunner to Baptiste . James Nesbit and his wife are on holiday in France when their son disappears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucinda absolutely aced that main challenge so I'm glad the judges agreed. Hopefully Siobhan is back soon, Ellie was a bit dull for my liking. What a delight it was to have Siobhan back this week. Was a close run thing between AJ and Jenny for star potter this week but AJ's otter was next level stuff. Hope they go on to win the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Tonight's episode of Imagine... on BBC One was magnificent. Labi Siffre is an absolute inspiration and Alan Yentob, for all his faults, really gets the art of the documentary. It'll be on the iplayer for the next 30 days. Get it watched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Quite enjoyed The Curse on channel 4. The folk from People Just Do Nothing in a cross between Snatch and Eastenders. I thought the first episode was the weakest and it took a bit of getting used to how drippy and annoying a couple of the characters were. Some fantastic motors from early 80s/late 70s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Got a rare shot of the telly during the day the other day and got in a couple of episodes of "how it's made". Never knew how much effort went into a curved door for a corner cabinet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
