Having lived through it I have no desire to watch a repeat. I refused to watch it because I got the impression it was very pro Boris. I have no idea how I reached that conclusion though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted October 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2022 I have no interest in watching it. Certainly not now. I think they should have waited a few more years before making the show, let the dust settle bit and have a bit more of distance and retrospect on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished watching it - it doesn't particularly have an angle, just follows the timeline from the perspective of those in power next to those who were suffering and the contrast between the two is very stark - which in itself is quite damning. As others have said though, too soon, partygate would have changed its entire complexion, let alone what any future inquiry will show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how I reached that conclusion though. Because it’s presented that way I think, I took the same impression from the advertising. Just the fact that someone as well regarded as Branagh playing him put me off, gives him far more credence than he deserves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also said without any irony or self recognition. It's also terrible politics, as unless you're somebody who pays a lot of attention (and if you are one of those people, then you know it's a daft and deeply hypocritical claim that they're making) then you're not going to have the first clue what it means. It sounds like a verruca treatment. Or possibly a tongue-in-cheek hip-hop supergroup. Edited October 6, 2022 by ml1dch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted October 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2022 Nothing we haven’t seen already in terms of the 28 lead, but it’s interesting to see it plotted alongside political moments, like the vaccine roll out, Barnard Castle, Owen Paterson and Partygate etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
