Ha, absolutely!

No, your first point is certainly right. I've lost money a fair few times doing work for the folks in question, but I've shut up and taken the hit to get my name out there and get more working opportunities. However, at current I can't afford to take that hit, what with going back to university this weekend also.

What job was it? Shame you couldn't do it.
 
I still buy CD's , have loads of LP's . Buy my music from square records in Wimborne . ( well have done over the last few years ) .

Just have to save up and get the old LP12 going , oh , and an amp & speakers as well .

Imagine how you'd then feel if people were stealing your work afterwards too. After all, it's not immoral because they need to save money where they can ;)

So what was the general consensus of opinion about BBC2's Banished..?

Remarkably, for me, I watched every episode, mostly from the iPlayer, and got caught up in it, though I can't say I found the dramatic twists and turns terribly believeable. I'm not even sure I liked it that much, but it was an engrossing experience. I'm certainly not agog with anticipation of a second series but if they made another I might watch it.

Pretty dull, and pedestrian is my concensus. I haven't watched the final episode yet, but have stuck with it nevertheless. Jimmy McGovern usually writes really engaging, gritty stuff, and although the idea of this was good, it was a bit ploddy, predictable and repetitive. "Who shall we attempt to hang next, even though we know somebody will come in and save the day?"

Indeed. Well, I won't spoil it for you, but there are one or two final twists.

Interesting that, like me, you stuck with it. :emoticon-0126-nerd:

Oh well that is at least something to look forward to then.

Yes, I guess I stuck with it because it was quite easy-going, and not irritating really. The acting is fairly good, and I do like the characters. I think they could have done a lot more when that guy ran into the outback.

Is it as dull as Poldark though?
