24 hour Party People (2002)

Hadn't seen it in a few years and tbh had forgotten how good it is. Coogan is great as always, but some of the support is outstanding.

The ever scary Sean Harris is a stand-out as Ian Curtis.

Rise and fall on Channel 4.

Not my usual thing but had it on while doing some stuff on the laptop. what a crock of :thdn:

Implausible, unlikeable, characters. A ridiculous poremise, unconvincly pressented and an awful end where they didn't show you the whole point of the exercise.

Have obviously put it on series link. :oops:

Working my way through 'The Last of Us'. I'll give Severance a go once I'm finished with that.

Aye, John Simms is a good actor and Grace is a decent watch but after the perfection that was the Endeavour finale last week, it is a bit like after the Lord Mayors Show.
However that is more about just how good Endeavour was than any fault with Grace .

Indeed. I reach for this gif quite often.

Mine is abominable.

If my superiors saw how I'd spent my working days this calendar year I'd be in trouble.

Surely they'd conclude that you had no choice about it?

It's not really you being lazy, more lazy being you?

Are you mad? :) Seriously Sam - just watch it. A scene from the last Endeavour directly related to the last Morse. The only wrong note from RD is the way its most famous line is delivered, well not delivered, but the way the audience hear it because of the over-work of the sound man.

Agree with what you say about the transition from Endeavour to Morse. It was a coming of age series after all wasn't it?

Last word on Endeavour - I don't know if you, OFT, CRS, etc have seen it but the documentary that followed the last episode was worth a watch - I knew Shaun Evans' accent was scouse but to hear Sara Vickers' heavy Scottish accent and the posh pathologist talk in real life like we do around here, made me realise what actors actually do :)

Watched The Gold. Excellent. Much better than I expected. It's had some criticism in the press about the way it portrayed Noye - newspapers saying it glamourised him/ turned him into a working class hero. I think they don't get it. We are allowed to see him as for example, the jury perceived him at the time when they acquitted him, rather than the man everyone now knows him to be. In my opinion, it was clever and quite brave in its way to portray him as they did.

Dave, I did watch the Endeavour documentary and like you, I was taken aback to hear Sara Vickers’ Scottish brogue.
Having savoured every last drop of the final 3 episodes, I was happy to soak up another hour of how the last episode was shot.
I am planning on a full re-visit of Endeavour from episode 1 and moving straight on to The Dead of Jericho and going all the way through to The Remorseful Day, just need to find the time.

Yep, The Gold was very good too. Jack Lowden was excellent as Noye and Hugh Bonneville was surprisingly effective as Boyce.

Cocaine Bear - Farrelly Bros meets Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino. Sort of. I can’t decide if it’s brilliant or complete rubbish. Which I guess is the idea. :)

I came on here to post that I watched it yesterday as well.
My comment is that it’s so bad that it’s good!
The park ranger had me chuckling away for some weird unknown reason??? Especially how she dies

Jonathan Ross' Myths & Legends - quite interesting looking into the mythology of the British Isles although it's a bit of a whistlestop tour.

Bank of Dave

Based on the true story of Dave Fishwick, a Burnley entrepreneur who took on the establishment to set up an independent bank. Its a charming tale that despite some liberal dollops of schmaltz, had an Ealing-esque quality.
At the heart of the film is a wonderfully engaging performance from Rory Kinnear in the lead role. A film that doesn’t require too much brain power but one that’ll put a smile on your face.

What's this on please CRS? I actually watched the original documentary years ago (I think on C4). Dave was a real character, proper old school force of nature type.

Firstly, ta fer the heads up on that Dave.
We watched it last night and a superb insight into the series and as you say, seeing the actors as themselves showing the skills they have, Incidentally, I had no idea that 'Dorothea ' the press lady, played by Abigail Thaw, is in fact John Thaws' daughter, I suppose the clue is in the name :oops:

C4
24 hours in Police Custody
The Honeytrap Murder.(2episodes over 2 nights)


I won't go into detail for those who have still to watch but it's a sobering reminder in this time of understandable police scrutiny, of the uttersh1te( crimes AND the perpetrators thereof) they have to deal with on a day to day basis.
Well worth watching

Succession reviews are out for its final season and it shouldn’t be surprising that it looks like it’s going with a massive bang.

So excited for this. :scarfer:
