IrishBhoy Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Anyone watched Stephen Graham’s new film on Amazon, Boiling Point? The full film is shot in one take, which is obviously crazy, but the acting in it is excellent as well. I seen a clip on Twitter of one of the scenes, and I genuinely thought it was a documentary. Obviously once I seen Steven Graham and a guy that used to be in Eastenders, I realised it wasn’t, but it made me go and find the full film, and it was a very enjoyable watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Martin Freeman is a fantastic actor and can save any shite tv show he's in. He's also been in some excellent shows too of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s one of a select group of actors who can take on a character and you don’t feel like there’s an overlap from previous roles. He will always be Tim Canterbury to me, but it’s testament to his ability that I could watch any of his performances and not even give his role in The Office a second thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be serious here Billy Bob Thornton makes that first season of Fargo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cast, awful programme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I equate Freeman most with Sherlock, but agree that he's good enough in everything he does that you don't see him as one of his previous characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Watched a few episodes of the Responder in which Martin Freeman plays a slightly dodgey scouse police officer. Didn’t think it was very good tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Cheaters - BBC series, 18 parts but each is ten minutes long detailing the consequences of a drunken extra-marital between two London residents in their late 20s. I guess they are millennials. I thought it was great and really didn’t expect to. It’s a comedy and it’s pretty funny but the writing and acting are superb. Each character is revealed very cleverly and you go from having little sympathy with them to really feeling for them. Particularly good was Susan Woking as Fola. For the red triangle fans it’s extremely explicit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. YAS! Absolutely delighted for AJ. They were excellent and that final build was just superb. The whole series was superb, actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say though, the main character's girlfriend was extremely irritating throughout and I had absolutely no sympathy for her given she was the one that kicked it all off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a bit irritating but I warmed to her through the whole thing. I just found out that the guy who plays Jake is Laurence Fox’s brother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Just finished binge watching The Ipcress File on STV/Britbox over a couple of nights. Excellent stuff, they played it a bit like the Avengers, best British telly I've seen in a while. Cheers, I was wondering what it was like. I watched the Michael Caine film recently on iplayer and then saw that this was coming on by complete coincidence and hoped it would be good. Is it an update or set in the 60's cold War era like the original book and film? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set in the same era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
