lou Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Is anyone watching? My youngest was an extra so we have paid the Britbox subscription, it is safe to say I am not a fan of Irving Welsh but 2 episodes.in and I am enjoying. I thought the Hearts references may be a bit snidey but not at all, so far mentions of Ernie Winchester and Davie Bowman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinRummy Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 The accents are ridiculous. Dougray Scott in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 One of the most overrated writers if modern times. A tedious pretentious shit, masquerading as one of the people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his stuff is a bit samey but some of it insightful and hits some real notes . He can be a dick but cant we all . But he can also hit the nail squarely on the head .

superjack Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Just finished watching it last night, really enjoyed it. Was surprised with the ending, but felt it fitted with the story, and he deserved it anyway. Once I got used to dougray Scott's accent, I thought he was really good in the role. His home office though, he must have loved sitting there with pictures of hearts lifting the cup in 2012 on his wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Boy Named Crow Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Gave it a go tonight, didn't even make it to the end of episode 1. Awful writing, badly acted. Dougray Scott just isn't a good actor, he's been utter shite for decades now. Crow Road to Mission Impossible to this, he can overact anything!

jack D and coke Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Thought it was one of his poorest efforts. The exaggerated Edinburgh accents got on my tits. Like all daft hibbys Hearts live in this guys head rent free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broxburnjambo Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I thought it was good, and the Hearts References were great, although it was clearly a huge dig at Hearts with the piece about Dens park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
