Bud the Baker Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Can't wait for the adaption of China Miéville's The City & The City to hit our screens........... I've included some quotes which may help you understand what's going on............. Quote The City & the City is a novel by British author China Miéville, combining weird fiction with the police procedural; it was written as a gift for Miéville's terminally ill mother, who was a fan of the latter genre. Quote the hallucinatory aspects of the book owe more to Borges, or perhaps Les Gommes, Alain Robbe-Grillet's subversion of the policier. Most impressively, Miéville’s underlying point, that all city-dwellers collude in ignoring real aspects of the cities in which they live – the homeless, political structures, the commercial world or the stuff that's 'for the tourists’ — is never laboured. Quote Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad in the European city-state of Beszel, investigates the murder of a student from Beszel's twin-city of Ul Qoman - which occupies the same space but is perceived differently.

This review in today's Herald seems to back up your opinion. http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16090765.Still_Game_review__Comedy___s_character_dies_but_lousy_gags_will_be_the_death_of_this_show/ Yes, I think that review pretty much hits the nail on the head. It all felt very overdone, e.g. sweary words need to be judiciously sprinkled to be funny/impactful, not repeated ad nauseum in every section of dialogue or it ends up tedious and self-defeating, like a Gerry Sadowitz gig. Another example of the overdone-ness would be that a partial sighting of Meena was so rare, with a sharp, rude, but not vulgar, one-liner which made her 'appearances' often very funny. This is lost when she's 'seen' three or four times a show, using language that we've not heard from the character before. I saw a bit of the latest episode and it wasn't any better. Not enough of Victor and Jack and too many ensemble scenes. No longer recording it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dilemma for ITV and Dec, what to do? Never seen it but at least I now know which one's which. No, wait. I've forgotten already. I recall Bill Nighy's excellent line in some film, 'yes, thank you Ant or Dec' . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why but a step up on the previous few weeks IMO. Can't disagree with that. The first two seemed dated and I thought they had run their race but this one was probably as good if not better than a lot in the last series.

Bud the Baker Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 On N/S & just finished watching some junk TV on the murder channel: Rebus - Black & Blue. IMO John Hannah isn't nearly as bad in the role as some make out though he is a bit fresh faced. Highlight for me is when Rebus & The Preacher deconstruct the Malt Whisky myth.
