Militia armed with machine guns have taken control of a wildlife refuge where people were peacefully protesting.
Yep watched it all, Gary had a fantastic average and it will take a very good Adrian Lewis to beat him tonight.
What on earth is going on in Oregon? 150 armed white supremacists have stormed and taken over a federal building...
Itv really do make some **** programmes.......I mean look no further than downton abbey? What absolute ****e.
Least the people in it can act. I gave Beowulf 20mins and the acting is really bad. So wooden their voices don't change when they are angry etc.
Can't say I have seen any of Beowulf so can't comment but downton abbey has a piss poor script and thankfully has now finished forever.
I think they spent like a quid on cgi and a couple hundred on actors. The only good actor is in it for 5mins.
Can't wait. Not sure what they can do with six one hour episodes, but I have high hopes anyway. The 70s series with Anthony Hopkins wasn't bad as I recall (though I hadn't read the book then, so had nothing to compare it with).
Don't know. For some reason, probably the reputation that the book has, I expect it to be very heavy going. I have to admit that I know nothing about it, but there are other things around to watch and listen to. I expect the iPlayer will take a hammering for a few weeks during the winter before I start venturing out again on the merest whim. Further to my comments about Sherlock, the other day, I've noticed there were a lot of disappointed viewers about, not just me. The BBC appeared to be promoting it as a one-off drama, totally unconnected with the present day. Instead, they worked up some highly inconceivable concept where the modern day Holmes appears to be dreaming himself through an unsolved mystery of 120 years previous. On reflection, although it looked great in parts, it didn't work. Sherlock doesn't need a Pamela Ewing style event to attempt to link the classic Holmes with the present day drama. They could have just set the baffling mystery in its own timeline and left it there. As to Suffragettes dressed in purple Klu-Klux-Klan garbs, personally I thought it was a bit weak. My opinion is they screwed about with the framework too far. It's simple - Holmes is an athlete in logic, research and deduction. There doesn't need to be more than that. It is what sells, not the scriptwriters trying desperately to include a mad Andrew Scott Moriarty. Also, the constant sword-play with his smarter brother Mycroft is getting thoroughly over done now. They didn't do any of that in the books, merely respectful sparring occasionally over instances outside the Diogenes Club window just for their own entertainment. Sherlock knows brother Mycroft is smarter than he is and that's as far as it went. Instead, I had a go at And Then There Were None, which is Agatha Christie and usually something which would send me to sleep. But, I thought it was pretty good. Setting aside the usual Christie scenario of whittling down a disparate group with one thing in common, I thought the drama was well acted, produced and shot. I don't quite know why, but the Beeb seem to do these classic adaptations rather well. It had to considering the group of elevated actors in the cast. Couldn't let them add a bummer to their CV's. Which I suppose should ease my thoughts about watching War and Peace. A classic story, albeit it very different, but one that really ought to be right up the BBC's street.
