IrishBhoy Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Four in a Bed can be absolutely comical viewing on a lazy Sunday. 5 episodes on the trot on More4 usually. Always amazes me that these hotel owners don’t have their rooms in immaculate condition when the other contestants come to visit. If I was a hotel owner showing my business off on national TV, I think the first thing I would do is go out and buy fresh bedding and mattresses. They know the other contestants are going to turn the place upside down to find any dirt or stains, and anyone watching on TV is hardly going to use your hotel if they see pish stained mattresses or discoloured pillows. Some of the people on it can be extremely petty though. An episode I watched last week had someone find a dead fly stuck inside a window frame, and when it came to scoring the cleanliness they scored them 5/10, which prompted the owner to say ‘Is a fly worth 5?’, which I found very funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Just watched a show @King Kebab would probably enjoy on BBC4, The Octopus in My House, intriguing stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Trailers for a new movie in the cinemas soon "Nope" seem to have been kicking about for ages and I haven't seen such a shit looking movie in a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I thought it would be shite when it was initially recommended to me, to be honest, but Two Doors Down is terrific. Even have to reluctantly admit that Jonathan Watson is brilliant in it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Watson is a pretty good actor IMO. The impression stuff in OAE might be a bit dated now but he's decent in sitcoms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He admitted himself that his acting was way over the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The darts episode was utterly fantastic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The episode Mrs Ranter and I watched the other night was the one where Eric went to his door to ask to borrow a hip flask for Alan (for his brother's wedding) Watson nonchalantly said "he'd look it out and drop it round later" until Eric mentioned that Michelle was on his house right now, and as you say, the change in his facial expression as he said he'd look it out right away and bring it in was brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was City Lights' thing at the time - everyone in it seemed to be overacting (& overacting some more after that), not just Watson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 There's a bit in City Lights where Kelly's character goes to church with his mum. He's never been before and doesn't know what to do. The choir and congregation finish a hymn and he gives it a standing ovation, complete with "bravo!!". It was well acted at the time (necessarily ott) and I still chuckle thinking about it. Anyway. There's a gardening program with Titchmarsh (lovely, lovely man) and he goes around with his team changing people's gardens for the better. He did one for a family whose daughter had a neurodivergency that meant the garden was shaped to her needs for silence and other sensory things. The family were obviously worked hard with her but you could see how devoted and loving they were to all their bairns. Their faces and the face of their wee lassie were priceless. Wonderfully uplifting telly. I can't remember what it was called. Garden Rescues or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Doon McKichan says or does something selfish with no self-awareness whatsoever. Jonathan Watson is a cuckold who dare not say anything. Alex Norton and Arabella Weir bear the brunt of McKichan's crass behaviour. Elaine C. Smith says "f**k". There, I've just described every episode of this pish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I bumped into Gerard Kelly in M&S in Glasgow once. He was alive at the time and it was shortly after his wonderful Bunny Bunton in Extras. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say "Well, obviously" but with M&S I don't suppose that would naturally follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
