Laurence Fox. The twat.

[Orang Utan]

Was he the sleazy odious bloke? Bloody typecasting!

They were all quite odious IIRC.
Fox gets his head slammed on a concrete floor repeatedly for drinking a can of Coke he’s stashed when they’re trapped in the hole and Keira Knightley’s already died of starvation/thirst

 

[breadandcircuse]

I never saw Lewis. Is it any good?
I always imagined it would just be two hours of Whately looking mystified and wondering what Morse would do.

It was really good. But I always preferred Lewis to the pompous Morse. However, I can't watch repeats now because of that twat being in it. He's spoiled it for me.

I prefer Endeavour to Morse too, even though they are the same character. I loved Morse at the time, but I like the spin offs better now.

 

[gosub]

Thought Endevour was the best the bunch

Shaun Evans and Roger Allam are superb in that.

I stopped watching several episodes because I found it so depressing that Roger Allam had been killed off and then later discovered he hadn't been killed off at all so I watched them

Allam is a fabulous actor, and Evans is great. He is unrecognisable as Morse in other roles, but I suppose that's good acting for you. Fox should take notes if he was still able to find work as an actor. He was the worst thing in Lewis.

 

[xenon]

actually it’s making me want to watch a touch of cloth again. I never really get on with those detective stories. Another murder in this sleepy town.

yes Allam, and Michael Kitchen as Foyle and David Jason as Frost are all superb.

 

[Orang Utan]

Never watched any of those. Always forget ITV exists. Even more than Channel 5.

 

[Serge Forward]

Not a fan of ITV either but Foyle's War was pretty decent.

RD Wingfield wrote Frost and he wrote a superb series of radio plays about bent bankers .

 

[krtek a houby]

For a few decades, was glued to ITV for The Bill.

From the days of Burnside, Ted Roach... up until the finale. Through good times and bad. Often unfairly underrated.

 

[breadandcircuse]

yes Allam, and Michael Kitchen as Foyle and David Jason as Frost are all superb.

I really like the first two, but avoided the last one. I know it was critically acclaimed, but it just looked so depressing. I know they are all murder mysteries, but you have the genteel Oxford set mysteries with some quirky clues in Endeavour. Foyle is also set in the past, so has a definite quality and appeal, but Frost just looks grim.

 

[klang]

Probably long days filming but I don’t think it would’ve been particularly difficult Work.

Being on set all day for weeks on end is very hard work, no matter how big the part. Might not be physically hard, but it's exhausting.

Frost is a lot lazier in the radio versions which is quite entertaining.

 

[Orang Utan]

They filmed quite a bit of Frost around bits of Leeds and saw crews out at various locations in Headingley where I lived. But being 19 or so at the time, I wasn’t interested in elderly detectives, and hated my home town, thinking how dreary the show must be to be filmed there (it’s not set there, is it?), so I turned my nose up at it. Would probably be all over it if it came out now though. But I doubt I’ll get around it now - didn’t realise it ran for so long - 15 series over 18 years! Never gone start on a project that big. Seen a friend disappear into Columbo for a year. Too much.

Speaking of Leeds, Fox was apparently born there. Neither party cares to admit it though, and that’s fine

 

[Elpenor]

Orang Utan Denton, where it was set, was meant to be in the Reading / Oxford area

I had a Touch of Frost odyssey myself a few years ago.

People have been crying every year that it has been the new number 1 baby name regularly for over a decade. The magic of counting.

Laurence Fox's mind is getting blown by this news. He's currently ranting on twitter about it with a quote from a film character who was in a relationship with a trans person. I don't think anyone, his fans or people who dislike him have the faintest idea what he's babbling about.

Loser's post:

Laurence Fox @LozzaFox
A scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a river. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, they would both drown. Considering this, the frog agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When the frog asks the scorpion why, the scorpion replies that it was in its nature to do so.

What I find interesting about Loser's use of this old fable is that he is being uncharacteristically indirect. Perhaps his 'financial backers' have informed him that the funding for generating publicity by losing expensive legal actions brought by drag artists is already fully committed.

He's clearly not lost the ability which his backers value, to express his racism, classism and misogyny without dressing it up. At the same time he posted the above he also decided to join in a x-twitter bunfight involving Mukhtar - the same Mukhtar he has already paid out a lot of money to
'I Called out "Free Speech Champion" Laurence Fox as a “Racist” – and He Tried (and Failed) to Bully Me into Silence' – Byline Times

British born actor Matthew Marsden won a best newcomer award over 25 years ago for his role in Coronation Street and subsequently moved to America. He claims his recent relative career decline is because of the right wing and antivax views which he propagates through his social media accounts. He has expressed his views on Gaza and attracted a great deal of pushback. A post which particularly appeared to get to him was Mukhtar posting this:

Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar
This is just sad. He went into his attic and dusted off a TV mag from 1997 to proof the last time he worked on telly.
6:39 PM · Dec 15, 2024

after Marsden posted this:

To demonstrate that he wasn't at all stung by mockery of his career Marsden went on to his YouTube channel and recorded a 90 minute video about trolls which referred to Mukhtar's posts.
Mukhtar recorded his own remix of this video

Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar
I watched Matthew Marsden YouTube video, so you don't have to.
Here are the highlights.

I imagine it was the sight of his nemesis taking the piss out of someone with right wing views which provoked Loser to get involved. It's not easy to imagine he would empathise with the plight of an actor who still has something of a career. He responded to the last Mukhtar x-tweet above with a screencap of it and

Laurence Fox @LozzaFox
He had about the same number of followers as his IQ is before he started calling everyone a racist.

Which is less than 80.

Full retard.

Mukhtar has been very happy to reciprocate including this which I see is beginning to circulate
