I'd like to know why there was only one BAME candidate one female candidate no LGBT candidates no Royal candidates If only the legal votes are counted Tyson won easily. Stop the steal!
Happy to say I didn't watch it. It's not my thing at the best of times but I had no intention of watching the possibility of Hamilton turning it into a political event. My mother was ahead of me. She asked, in a disapproving way, whether I wanted to watch it and was relieved when I did not. She hates Lineker.
266 people have complained about the latest Christmas 'Vicar of Dibley' episode... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-55440861 Apparently the congregation got a sermon about fighting racism. Fair enough I suppose (if not very relevant to their rural lives). Opposing racism is an expected call from the Clergy in modern times. Dawn French's character took the knee as well. Just a tad over the top for that kind of programme? BLM messages are in many parts of our lives now. I doubt many folk were expecting to see it when they sat down to watch this show though.
This has been in the news for a while. I was wondering if Dawn French would be able to stand up after kneeling.
I wasn't aware of it until it appeared on the BBC news website. Not my kind of programme really so I didn't watch it. Just curious at the reaction to the unexpected content.
Here's one preview from a week ago. There are many more ... (26) BBC 1* Review Vicar Of Dibley Dawn French 9 Minute Borefest 0 Laffs DEFUND AUNTY NOW - YouTube P.S. I would never watch this either
Just a last thought though on TVOD. I'm not particularly old, but I can remember clearly when the notion of a female vicar was a novel one, and an offensive one to some. That is remarkable and a bit sad, considering the Church has been around for about 1,900 years - and the C of E for not far off 5 centuries. So a different kind of equality (anti-discrimination) was what 'Dibley' was originally about. Also, I believe several of the Apostles were apparently women, who were given posthumous 'stickadicktomes' by the early Church. Seems that 'gender fluidity' isn't such a new idea after all. Merry Christmas, one and all!
I don’t watch TV, and the BBC offering on Xmas Day (force fed, as no sport on) reminded me why. How anyone should be compulsorily charged for this absolute rubbish is a mystery @The Penguin . The best thing about it was a 1974 repeat of Morecambe & Wise, and the Test card at midnight. “Highlights” appeared to include a camp bloke hosting a game show in which a bunch of other camp / minority “celebrities” were spun on a wheel (they had to reinforce said wheel, as Clare Balding was one of the celebs), followed by Eastenders which is even more depressing than a trip on the bus to Downham every day, and appears to contain every stereotype under the sun including the Asian shopkeeper, the Pentecostal Black family who drink rum punch, and a transsexual pub lady who actually turns out to be Sharon wearing a ton of makeup . If this wasn’t enough, the BBC topped it off with a “comedy” called Mrs Brown’s Boys, in which a fat elderly Irish man dresses up as a woman and swears a lot.
I'm addickted to ITV4, it's amazing who you see who appeared on The Sweeney, Minder, and The Professionals. A cracking 3 hours watch.
Totally agree, I’ve got it on my phone, it’s the best channel on there. The standard of acting : production in those series compares to now is ....
