Question Time tonight

[FridgeMagnet]

He's not taking the divorce well is he.

 

[Serge Forward]

Oh god I've just heard his music



fucking hell

That's the worst thing I've heard in a long time.

 

[Calamity1971]

That's the worst thing I've heard in a long time.

Paul Shane has just moved to number 2 in the cringey stakes .

 

[Serge Forward]

RIP.

 

[stavros]

That's class. Clearly where Alan Partridge got his inspiration.

-- Right, OK - Shoestring, Taggart, Spender, Bergerac, Morse. What does that say to you about regional detective series?
-- There's too many of them?
-- That's one way of looking at it, another way of looking at it is, people like them, let's make some more of them.

 

[Ted Striker]

Paul Shane has just moved to number 2 in the cringey stakes .

This is quite brilliant. Thank you

You’re forgetting Vera, pet.

And from abroad Maigret and the Henning Mankell stories and one of my favourites Montelbano

THE major influence in the development of "The Club Style" from Shooting Stars. What a musician

Not forgetting Van Der valk. If only just for the theme tune.

 

[Calamity1971]

I remember the first time me and a mate seen that, we couldn't stop laughing for ages

And set in the Netherlands I'll see if any of above are on Youtube in fact. ITV seems to have closed down on me, telling me to update my browser when they're all up to date and have relevant DRM boxes ticked

We seem to have forgotten Wycliffe: top acting and plots with typical realistic everyday Cornish life of Magic rituals, wild west gunfights, insane Cornish maids and simpletons, ...

 

[hash tag]

Don't forget the cockney Hazell

 

[two sheds]

Don't forget the cockney Hazell

That looks suitably dire but not on Youtube

 

[Serge Forward]

Dalziel and Pascoe.... though the books were better than the telly programme.

 

[two sheds]

r4 series of them was listenable

 

[two sheds]

Ta - noted

All a bit of a derail though.

Bringing it back to topic I've not watched question time or listened to r4 equivalent for a good 20 years. It's always been fucking dire with right-wing commentators spouting shite and not being called out for it.

I've only ever heard one good r4 episode and that was when they had no politicians on it - only academics. It was interesting, informative and I didn't feel like throwing anything at the radio, can't say that of any other episode I've ever listened to.

 

[Proper Tidy]

A shit person and a shit uncle

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Oh god I've just heard his music



fucking hell

Lol! He's no Leonard Cohen, but he certainly thinks he is! Fucking hell!

 

[killer b]

Oh god. He thinks 'everybody knows' is about free speech on college campuses doesn't he?

 

[marty21]

Guess I'll watch it this week as it's being filmed locally, a mile or so away, in Stoke Newington

Was it any good or particularly noteworthy Marty? I didn't see it...

 

[treelover]

It was a lot more measured than usual, powerful discussion on youth crime.

 

[not a trot]

Don't forget the cockney Hazell

Recently had a re run on the Talking Pictures channel. The original novels were co written by Terry Venebles.

The ex chief constable came across as a total dick.

 

[Lefty1992]

Yeah. A much more measured programme than usual. Good discussions about knife crime and the digital services tax.
Emily Thornberry spectacularly failing to understand the lessons from Labour's election defeat though.

The books are excellent. I didn't mind the TV series but I preferred Shoestring.

thought he was good.

 

[stavros]

Nobody, bar one audience member briefly, seemed to join up the illegality of drugs and their control resting in the hands of less desirable types. I know it was fiction but "Hamsterdam" sprang to mind.
