Stevo985 Posted April 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2022 Anyone watching "The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe"? The finale was on last night (haven't watched that one yet), but it's a decent show. Based on a true story of course and a pretty interesting telling of it. Possibly stretched to an episode more than it needed to be but Im' enjoying it Was also very surprised to see Karl Pilkington pop up playing a detective in it. And doing a pretty good job from what I can see 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the constantly switching timelines exacerbates the 'different actors playing the same characters' problem. It's only four episodes though, so I'll see it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I quite like Peaky Blinders but that word removed that writes it just HAD to shoe-horn the knuckkledraggers into it again, this time bent referees giving them a penalty. He refused which was nice, what happened then wasn't so nice. I also heard that the series was held back from airing until the anniversary of the day small heath jammed it against White Flag FC (AKA Arsenal) in the league cup 2011. Now THAT is sad.

That bit is plausible The BBC delaying its release to coincide with it it what sounds like bollocks to me, maybe one of the producers did it on the sly but I do t believe that anyone at the BBC went along with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Last episode of Peaky Blinders wasn't bad at all, nice twist to the story at the end. Finished HandMaid's tale too, **** me what a depressing show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted April 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24, 2022 Finished Life After Life. Has an unsatisfactory ending. As does the book, albeit a different one. Nice production values, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Finished a Very British Scandal. Not as good as the English Scandal. Same high production value and good acting, but it felt a bit flat at points. Foy and Bettany are both good, but they are as sexy as lake trout together, so I FFWD through those scenes. All the other characters were also deeply unlikable so maybe that's the issue. Then again, the gay guy in English Scandal was really unlikable too. Hugh Grant carried that one. What Scandal will they do next? Edited April 24, 2022 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
