What have you watched on TV?

Worzel Gummidge was a drug dealer!? :stunned:

where do you think he got all those heads?

where do you think he got all those heads?

He took off his head, he wasnt off his head.

 

[Floval Flyer]

He took off his head, he wasnt off his head.

what was one of his catchphrases? "A nice cup o' tea and a slice of hash cake!"

he was off his trolley, and that aunt Sally !

Worzel Gummidge eh, 'ark at us lot showing our age ;-)

Enjoyed the David Bowie documentary on BBC2 The Last Five years yesterday night.

Just watched it and it connected on may levels. He was a rare talent.

Anyone seen Sherlock? Is it worth bothering with?...I was hugely underwhelmed by S3, didn't bother with the version where they went back to Victorian times, and it's not had the greatest reviews. Apparantly it's gone all Bourne/Bond.

With you on the 3rd series and not all that impressed this time round TBH.
Run it's course one thinks.

Taboo on BBC1. Promises to be immense, Tom Hardy is captivating.

David Bowie: The Last 5 Years.

Looks very promising from the 1st episode, I'm very intrigued to see where it is going with the whole

  Spoiler:  

American land/ red Indians/ British war with America/ Gateway to China thing

 

[MK Shrimper]

Taboo puts me off as

a) It's Tom Hardy and he's a terrible actor. Mumbling incoherently is not acting.
b) It's a period drama.

He's hit and miss I find. When he is good he is good though and I quite like him in this (well the 1st episode anyway)
I'm not a great fan of period dramas in the Downton Abbey type mould but I do quite like a historical drama that has some factual basis. This seems to have some factual basis

  Spoiler:  

The east india company and the conflict with America

Who knows if it will be good but 1st episode was promising and made me want to watch more

I agree with point B. I can never get on with period drama.

But I feel insulted with your first point. Have you never seen 'Bronson'? That was an outstanding performance! Also he played 'Bane' brilliantly. Thought he was really good in 'The Drop' as well.

I can understand he is a bit rough round the edges but for me he is one of British finest actors in recent years.

Not seen Bronson, but he was terrible as Bane! Not to mention the Revenant where he just mumbled his way through the whole film.

Pretty decent in Tinker Tailor and even better in Bronson.

Maybe I'm biaised :smile: Don't remember him in TTSS, and as I've said I've not seen Bronson.

Wash your mouth out with soap! He was exceptional. He had a mask over his face and he had to show emotions through his voice. He played Bane perfectly I cannot see how he could've done it any better. I will even go as far as saying I enjoyed Hardy as Bane more than I did Ledger as The Joker (not saying he was crap because he was excellent also, just preferred Bane).

You need to watch Warrior, he is excellent in that. To be honest I don't think I've ever watched a bad thing he had been in.

When it comes to Tinker Tailor I'm as one eyed as it comes - favourite film for years, he played Ricki Tarr.
Bronson is highly recommended. As it happens, I don't recall him in much else so your assertion may well be justified.

 

[Ricky Otto]

He has done some bad ones, thought he was awful as mad max, not a patch on Mel Gibson. I have enjoyed him in other roles though, so like I said before hit and miss but when he is good he is GOOD

 

[Mad Cyril]

Tom Hardy?

Yet another public school actor...

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Currently watching the first half of S4 of Vikings - it has not disappointed.

 

[Napster]

Arrested Development, making my way through season 1. Absolutely hilarious.

 

[Supernaut]

Half way through season 3 of Mad Men and it keeps getting better. Just watched 'the tractor episode' last night - what a classic. Laugh out loud funny at several points.

Good man, it was brilliant and ended far too soon...sadly the Netflix "return" was a bit rubbish.

I've just ended S2 of House of Cards, and I've got to say I find it a little bit boring at times. Wife loves it though.
