This shows how he was able to get away with things for so long and is a platform for some of his victims to have their voices heard. I thought Coogan played the role well but it still sickens me that we still have folk like Saville. Only watched the first episode but Coogan was fantastic. For as long as there are humans we will have folk like Saville and much much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tragic he died before he could be brought to boot. Another good one is the Long Shadow on STV. Dramatisation of Peter Sutcliffe. At least he was caught and brought to boot.

The man in the inset on the front portraying Lupin in the West End was one of the most famous actors of his day, son of a then famous author, played Captain Hook in the first staged version of Peter Pan, had a brand of cigarettes named after him and his second daughter (of three) became even more famous than him, but refused to attend his funeral on his death in 1934, 5 years before her own greatest successs was published.# Who is he - without resorting to Wiki or other cheaty internet thingummyjigs...?

1971fozzy Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Finished the Beckham program on Netflix. That was superb. Fantastic seeing and hearing from the legends from both Man Utd and Real Madrid. It’s really good and Victoria comes over really well. It certainly comes over that he wore the trousers which I’m sure is intentional. what a shite life having all the press hound you. The 98 World Cup red card aftermath was hard to watch. A time when mental health was not a spoken about thing he went through some hell. also capello ordering him training on his own in Madrid in front of the squad - what Beckham had in his locker to do that is seriously impressive . 10/10 all day long and up there with anything along these lines I’ve ever watched and I wasn’t interested in his life outside football whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Binged on " Jury Duty" last night. Its an 8 episodes mockumentary about a guy who is picked for jury service after being duped into thinking hes in a real documentary about a court case. Everyone else around him are actors. Its an ingenious idea its seriously very good. So funny too , with a real diverse bunch of " jurors" who are hysterical. They really are a loveable bunch. James Marsden * the actor plays himself and really hams it up as " himself". Its all very post modern. The guy who was duped eventually is informed that it is a fake programme in the last episode which is surprisingly heart warming. The guy is Ronald Gladden and hes almost a hero in the US as he is such a sweet, sincere , caring , fair and an everyday Joe decent guy. Dont watch the second video as it gives out some of the LOL moments but if you want a flavour of how funny it is ..watch it. It also has the big reveal moment so dont watch it if you wanna wait till end of episode 7 Edited October 15, 2023 by JudyJudyJudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read that it was commissioned by the BBC, it was made by ITV who had sole editing say in it. An uncomfortable watch but it gives a voice to victims and has us again highlighting the issues that allowed him to get away with it for so long.

Cade Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Garth Marenghi's Darkplace 2004 British comedy starring Matthew Holness, Richard Ayoade, Matt Berry and Alice Lowe. A multi layered show, with talking heads discussing the cancellation and impact of a 1980s horror/drama show called Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. In this fictional show within a show, various supernatural events occur at Darkplace hospital. The whole thing is shot deliberately badly, with jump cuts, visible microphones, terrible overdubbing, bad props, shite special effects, nonsensical plots and awful dialogue. It's utter genius and will only take one evening to binge-watch as there are only 6 episodes each lasting around 25 minutes. A superb show and very under-rated. 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
