On that programme, even Lenny Henry was funny.
No he wasnt the only reason to watch it was the Sally James Garter Spot
It’s back this Saturday…
Gladiator are you ready?
Contestant are you ready?
Sensible people still in the pub after the game are you remotely interested?
I’m certainly not saying that the lovely Sally wasn’t without her, ahem, charms. But I insist that on Tiswas, Lenny Henry was genuinely amusing, and that’s more than can be said about him since those halcyon days with the possible exception of OTT.
Lenny was brilliant at Salisbury City Hall back in the late 80’s/early 90’s when they still tried to be a venue
OMG!
So I have been telling you lot how INSANELY beautifu this part of the world is (especially the mountains)
And bloody hell, the locals have dropped an Inspector Morse type thingy onto Netflix - filmed IN THE MOUNTAINS!
Had a quick peep and who cares about the story (which has 7.1 on IMDB btw) it looks stunning!
It is stunningly filmed - definitely aiming to give those Icelandic/Scandinavian crime capers a run for their tourist $$
Pedant alert.
6.9 on IMDb
But it’s in foreign innit….
Launching on the 14th on AMC, I’m desperately hoping we’ll be able to stream it here…
Monsieur Spade, starring Clive Owens. The advance reviews sound terrific, and what a sublime idea, Sam Spade’s story after sending Brigid O’Shaughnessy to the electric chair. Cannot wait to see this one.
But i understand every word
One other person must have reviewed it.
I have to say there are parts of the Mountains i may need to revisit - strewth
(Those places exist in Poland?)
We are enjoying, it’s quirky
Yeah blood covered bloke getting a finger snipped off in the opening credits sold it for me…
Aw you missed all the good bits
Is it a period drama, then?
Not sure how I should respond to you on that
Ah no.
In fact there are bits that are almost up to WhatsApp group standards
Meanwhile I am booking therapy sessions having found out that the building on the top of the tallest bit of mountain behind me is actually the lair of SPOILER ALERT
Which has lots of SPOILER ALERT going on
Luckily it’s round the corner in Slovakia so I have an excuse for not knowing those places
existed in Poland
And, seeing as you had to take THIS cable car which hung 1500m up from that cable I ain’t EVER going there even if it could be “that sort of place” and nope not even blindfolded
I think you’ll find your imagination is more terrifying than reality…do it without the blindfold.
That’s good advice for any bloke on his wedding night.
I had the chance with clients to go up. I saw thecar coming down and nope.
I done shit i dont need to prove the size of my balls to ANYONE.
When the team came back down they were VERY Ashen faced and VERY quiet, so I won
