Not a big fan of Bradley Walsh but I did like the original which is also running right now, so we will give it a coat of looking at just in case it works.

Right now, the other half is watching some kind of drag queen rubbish

 

[patp]

Might give the Larkins one a look see. Also the next two might be interesting but not that last one!

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

Yes we too.

Last night we watched a film called "the Road" avoid it, a right load of crap, we were waiting for it to tell us what had happened, but it never did, just a couple of flashbacks which left you guessing, and they spent £25m on it, to be fair the scenes were very realistic, the whiny kid got on my tits though.

Great cast including Guy Pearce, Robert Duvall and Charlize Theron, and a couple of others I've seen before.

 

[patp]

Very rarely watch movies now. It seems a long time to waste if it turns out to be like that one.

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

I much prefer movies all dine and dusted in one sitting.

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

We watched the Larkins last night, not impressed at all, seriously dumbed down and inclusive in certain areas.

I found the speech was distracting it not being of the period it takes place in, the kids were badly cast as were some of the adults, ma & pa were okay I suppose, and the vicar was quite funny, but was the percentage of black people so great back then out in the countryside, I doubt it which means they were being foisted on us to make the numbers up which is not fair on them.


I noticed Walsh managed to get his son into it (the policeman) who from what I saw can't act.


And why call it the Larkins anyway, that was a late 50s TV comedy, Peggy Mount and David Kossoff.

All creatures great and small showed how it should be done, same tales with a twist and new cast of people who can act.

 

[GMJ]

Has the second series of All creatures grunt and small started?

If so we'll watch it on catch up.

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

Not telling you.

 

[patp]

Yeah, I was not that impressed with it either Kev A swearing vicar hmmmm?

 

[GMJ]

Not telling you.

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

Whatever, go prune something.

 

[GMJ]

Bit harsh....

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

Only on the bushes 😇😇

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

Nowt but this tonight, complete with the obligatory Gay man and a black person.

Might be good, might be crap.

on a similar subject I'm reading David Jasons latest book which is quite recent, even mention Covid in the first chapters, however, he goes on to say he has had several rows with the producers over advance publicity adverts on TV regarding stuff he's been in saying what is the point of working hard to polish a gag or two only to have them give away the punchline or the story, ditto the coming pup or previously bit we now have to suffer, he agrees that it insults our intelligence to do that, but he gets why ITV etc do it as they need the revenue, but the BBC does it too.

 

[patp]

Glad we are not the only ones to notice that there has to be a gay person or black person in every programme. They can cover two for one if the black person is a woman and gets a meaty part.

Fed up with the One Show lately. Is Alex Jones going to leave? They keep trialling people who stare at the auto cue so hard they look wooden. I notice Alex Jones was standing in a radio show the other day. Surely she is not that desperate for money? She only just had her third baby so where is she finding the time (and energy)?

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

Or a overweight black lesbian disabled old woman

 

[Pudsey_Bear]

I might suggest Blankety Blank, But I saw enough of Walsh the other night, and we might get more of the above to fill the boxes.

 

[patp]

Dancing?
