I never saw any of the series… Was there a sense of humour, fun, madness in Peaky Blinders? I’ve now seen the first couple of episodes of SAS Rogue Heroes (made, I believe by some of the PB team) and it really is pretty witty. And mildly violent (there WAS a war on…) and anarchic. It’s not “true history”…. But great fun. Well worth following the rest of the series. Watched the first episode last night, pretty decent. I'm still trying to buy into the main characters, this is something that seems to be a necessity for me. I'll see how it goes over the next week or two before I decide to see it out.

An unfortunate name mind you. I know. Still better than nothing. Draws in the viewers before an unknown entity. Thought the episode itself was very good.

Watched it as well, quite enjoyed it and will watch the rest of the series interview with the main actors on the BBC site today, interesting reading.

faraway saint Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Celebrity Mastermind really stretching it tonight, a rather overweight girl who was last on Gogglebox approx 3 years ago was presented as a celebrity. She certainly wasn't a Mastermind, even with the questions being watered down she scored an astonishing 2. Get her off the telly FFS.

antrin Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Brilliant cowboys, cavalry, goodies, baddies, injuns series that I binge-watched last week. The English. All 6 episodes on iPlayer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0d5vxl7/the-english-series-1-1-what-you-want-and-what-you-need#xtor=CS8-1000-[Frontpage_Billboard]-[Sport_Billboard]-[Sport_Billboard]-[PS_IPLAYER~N~p0d5vxl7~P_TheEnglishS1E1] lovely filming in the Spanish landscape just outside Madrid. I’d initially assumed it was Stateside, and wondered why there were so many UK actors, not Yanks… densely plotted (my wummin gave up) but lovely story-telling. Gritty, brutish, realistic… and pretty funny, too. best thing on telly for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 For those who watched the first two seasons the new Jack Ryan series is just out.

faraway saint Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Just had the misfortune to see the start of The Scotts. When it first appeared I was very hopeful, since then, almost the same patter on every episode. Tragic 2nd rate comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledfan Posted December 24, 2022 Report Share Posted December 24, 2022 This year's two doors down Christmas special was really great. Well acted, funny and also emotional. Elain C Smith really is a national treasure comedy and emotional acting at the same time. She deserves a BAFTA fir the Christmas special and last season of two doors down.
