The later seasons have their moments with stuff like: Balthazar The real world episode Charlie The musical episode Donna And various other bits. However, there's an awful lot of bad stuff in there too. The latest spin off doesn't install confidence. Edited March 11, 2022 by Rds1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I know about it is from the odd clip or meme. I'm just rehashing other peoples old stuff and adding a scissor player in the background but unlike Noel I do it for free.

villa4europe Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Can't wait, I'd say this is right up there for my most anticipated shows, love it Edit - as a side I bumped in to Michael Ward at standsted Airport, he was filming something for Netflix with Bill nighy about England winning the homeless football World Cup, what a sound nice guy he is Edited March 12, 2022 by villa4europe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) The guy that plays Arthur is the only one that pulls off a decent accent. They have a few actual Brummies playing supporting roles and you can tell straight away as soon as they talk (well us people that are properly versed in the lingo anyway).

It is not an easy accent to perfect. A lot of people confuse it with the black country, accent and end up sounding like idiots. Incidentally, I'm trying to remember if Ray Winston attempted one in "Mcbeth On The Estate. ". I think he did if memory serves me right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The number 1 reason I can't watch Peaky Blinders are the poor attempts at the accent. Years back I saw a clip and Dick Van Dykes cockney was straight out of Bow in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted March 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2022 Enjoyed Picard season 2 episode 2. Looking like it's actually going to be a good series. Huge improvement on the disastrous first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The Last Days Of Ptolemy Grey is fantastic. Samuel L Jackson is absolutely brilliant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Finally got around to watch some old TV well finished Black Mirror maybe isnt that old but its a decent show but I think its really overhyped, some of the episodes are good and some are snoozefests Also finished Seinfeld, it has probably aged a little in the 25 years since it came off the air but still has its moments. You can see it was an inspiration for other shows, a lot of episodes you think you have seen it before but then realise another show did a similar episode 10-15 years later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post foreveryoung Posted March 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2022 Jeremy Kyle Death on Daytime on C4. Man they are ripping Kyle a new one in here. He will never be able to step out in public again. Always thought it was a despicable show, but looking back, what a arrogant word removed he really was. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that the show was dangerous and had a wider negative impact on society Thought that people could watch it and use it to justify their own lives in a "at least im not that" kind of way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit it's stride around the middle of series 2 and just gets better. I'm waiting till all eps drop before binging the last series, and cannot wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to get in the right mindset to continue. Which I should do cos I hear it's great, and I'd watch Karl Urban in pretty much anything.
