Aye , but was sort of hoping someone would tell me a wee bit about what it is , I'm off to ask google tongue.png

ETA. That seems quite good !

Don't believe everything you read on the internet, better to get someone to tell you. lol.gif

Aye , Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman are both superb in it I think , they make the show , appear like a movie that has been split into chunks . It has the Coen brothers twist to it as well , even though the story is in many ways different from the 1996 movie . .

It of course , was never a true story , despite what Joel and Ethan said , however . .

It must be a true story, it says it is right there on the screen in front of you!

:)

Martin Freeman is just incredible and I can't believe I only remember Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa, must be in other good stuff. The Coen brothers most obvious involvement, for me anyway, is having a female lead police officer investigating, just like the film. And the fact that I could watch each episode three times in a row and still find something new to enjoy - for me, that's the Coen brothers in a nutshell.

What is it ? Crime drama ?

Yes , you could call it a crime drama but it is a whole lot more also . The series is thinly based on the 1996 Coen Brothers movie . The Coen brothers are also involved in the tv series , so it has a sort of very dark humour running right the way through it. .

Started watching Happy Valley last week after folk kept on about it, watched the first 5 episodes over 3 nights last one this week - great wee drama, tho hard to watch at times

Last night I heard my wife saying to my daughter to come and watch an episode of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and that had me muttering the forum mantra - FFS! But I was in stitches at it. It was the episode where Frank tries to join the RAF and Fulton Mackay is the officer having to give him an intelligence/aptitude test. Real classic stuff. Michael Crawford is brilliant but what a superb comic actor Fulton Mackay was. And a Buddie. My wife is from Clydebank and tries to claim him. Never!

Fargo on 4HD , that is all. .

Easily the best thing on the free to air TV here in Oz right now.. Billy Bob and Freeman are superb!

Tom Hanks' boy is also very good as the young polisman from Duluth.

Loved Utopia too, hoping series two will be available here soon after showing in the UK, and yeah Tommy...

I managed to catch the opening episode of Fargo the other night, after much trawling and hunting about. It is now no longer possible to watch it on 4OD, so I had to opt for an online stream (the quality was fine, but I would rather have watched it on the big screen TV in the front room).

I'm impressed with what I've seen so far, so looking forward to catching the whole series, but playing catch up with dubious online streams is a pain in the arse when I've got Netflix, 4OD etc. on the TV.

Aye, that might work. I had assumed that having a Smart TV doodah I would be able to watch it on the TV in any event but naw. Pish!

Works a treat Drew.

Smooth (broadband permitting) and great quality.

You can order it from Tesco and pick it up in the store, saves £3 P&P.

Watched a very good programme on bbc2 on Tuesday. Britain's Greatest Pilot: The Extraordinary Story of Captain 'Winkle' Brown.

Far too many adventures and tales for one man and great to hear him telling them.

5 days left on the iplayer
