periodictabledancer Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 On 24/10/2023 at 16:54, Cade said: 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 Channel?

Malinga the Swinga Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Documentary called 'Who took Madeleine McCann' on iPlayer. Very one sided programme that portrays McCann's as innocent victims while desperately trying to pin guilt onto the German guy who is currently in jail. It's all circumstantial evidence based on could be, possibly might be, odd behaviour here and there but absolutely **** all concrete evidence. There's a photo fit from a witness that looks nothing like the German, or at least in my eyes it doesn't but according to a private investigator, it's a real likeness. Wait for it, the guy has a few spots and therefore he must be guilty. It's interesting to watch as it's shows how clever the McCann's campaign has been conducted over the years. The presenter comes over as someone who has been involved in this for so long he has become overly sympathetic to the McCanns. No mention of parents leaving her alone while they went out on booze up, that's just ignored as if it was normal behaviour. Not saying Bruckner is a nice guy, he is after all a convicted criminal, but they haven't got anything linking him to Madeleine at all. It all looks like an attempt to close the case regardless of guilt or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott herbertson Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Two Channel 4 'Walter presents' series i have enjoyed recently are: For Life - Norwegian crime series (somewhat similar to Girl with the dragon tattoo). Currently only runs to episode 5 The Marnow Murders. German whodunit series - Quirky and challenging as the cops are slightly bent but really enjoyed this one and decent ending (often a flaw with these) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 For All Mankind, the alternate history space exploration show, has kicked off its 4th season. The series as a whole asks a basic question: "What if the space race never ended?" and expands upon the technological, societal and political effects of this. Starting in the late 1960s and progressing more or less a decade per season, we're now in 2003. Permanent bases have been established on the Moon and Mars and mankind is looking to begin commercial mining of asteroids. Hopefully this season will break away from the shitey soap opera stuff that was creeping in and we'll get back to being a space adventure show.

1971fozzy Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Watched ‘Harley and Katya’ on Netflix. about an Aussie and Russian girl who are figure ice skaters and put together and tells of the unbelievable pressures put on them , the obstacles and ultimately the tragic consequences they faced. No idea why I watched it but I was browsing and thought why not. it was fascinating and so sad. That lassie had so much pressure put on her shoulders. The dedication and hard work they have to put into this is off the scale.
