Bud the Baker Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) The US (Amazon) remake of Utopia has not received good reviews. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/sep/25/utopia-review-sanitised-remake-is-no-match-for-cult-tv-original An ultraviolent show centring on a deranged ex-scientists attempt to prevent (via a comic book) right wing eco-extremists unleash a flu-like pandemic that will ultimately kill 95% of the human race - perhaps it's just a little to dark for 2020. The UK original was, erm, visceral! Edited September 27, 2020 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Mystery Road 2 finished last night with Jay Swan taking out the chief baddie as it looked like he was escaping. It then left us with the possibilty of Jay & his estranged wife Mary getting back together... Hope "they" make a MR3...

Bud the Baker Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Recorded The Tall Droll & The Short Doll (a comedy about Chic Murray & his wife) on BBC4 earlier in the week - if it's still available on iplayer I'd recommend it! Sidesplittingly funny in places - don't miss the one about The Blackpool wedding! Edited October 4, 2020 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Docu on Glen Campbell on BBC4 tonight @ 10.40pm. Covering his times as a session guitarist with The Monkees in the 60s, Country superstar in the 70s, is drug fuelled days with Tanya Tucker and his later career up until his enforced retirement in 2013 due to Alzheimer's. Seen it before & expect I'll shed a few tears again - it'll be a hard hearted viewer who doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Spinning a Yarn: The Dubious History of Scottish Tartan (BBC4 again) Nothing I didn't really know - the list of Tartans was compiled/invented by a pair of brothers from Surrey embellishing it a false provenance they claimed to trace back the Middle Ages and that there was no real link between Clans and a particular tartan till roundabout the 1790s! The modern kilt is your nothing more than fucking slaveware! Spoiler Just don't tell the Tartan Army!

faraway saint Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 I'm a Celebrity review tonight, Ans & Dec are quality. Like all good presenters they make it look easy, it isn't. Can't wait for the new series to start in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids enjoy watching that Jungle show especially the eating contests. Maybe I should introduce such dinner challenges at our meal times to get them to try new meals? Tonight I will tempt them with a mild korma curry laced with...... That's the challenges I don't like. I'm afraid I'd be "out of here" if I had to face them. Think is starts next Sunday.

Bud the Baker Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) On The Town is showing tonight at 8pm as part of BBC4s classic fillum series, starring Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly & the other one with the funny name Spoiler Jules Munshen - 3 points for anyone who didn't have to look that up!

antrin Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) I watched an absolutely BRILLIANT Western fillum, last night on BBC Iplayer. It's still there. The Homesman https://www.imdb.com/find?q=The+Homesman&ref_=nv_sr_sm Starring Hilary Swank (double Academy Award winner!) and Tommy Lee Jones. from 2014, it appears. I didn't recognise it at all - I must've been working away when it was released (or something)... I read Geoff McNab's review on Rotten Tomatoes, in which he raves about it and says it's the best Western since... Cint Eastwood's Unforgiven https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105695/ I'm inclined to agree with him. Harsh, bloody at times, an intricate tale and stark, haunting photography of the landscapes in which Frontiers-people had to try to survive. Better than anything else I've seen this year. Free on BBC I player: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05rmlr9/the-homesman ps It's also pretty funny on occasion!

antrin Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) We plan to watch THIS ONE... https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00038l3/the-new-girlfriend ...tonight. Utterly opposite of The Homesman, but it looks like good fun! FREE! EDIT: Just realised that I may have posted bollox, above. I believe that, this evening, there may be a fitba match on telly that she might want to watch, instead...
