DA Baracus Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Anyone catch this on C4 last night? It's a six part series with some strange storyline about a conspiracy that involves an old comic called Utopia. Some fans of it were part of an internet chat room dedicated to it and arranged to meet another member who had a sequel to it, which no one knew about and supposedly has some secrets hidden within that a shady organisation are after. There's a government guy caught up in it too (Jamie from The Thick Of It) who was blackmailed to make the his department (of health) buy loads of vaccines that were different from the ones they were going to originally buy. You'll have to watch the thing to see why this is relevant. First episode was really good. Good cast as well. I'm sure you'll recognise a lot of them. There was a graphic torture scene where a guy had chilis, then sand, then bleach rubbed into his eyes, before one of his eyes was taken out with a spoon. Stingy.

Tombre Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thought it was pretty good, will be watching next week. The eye torture bit was a bit mental so was the bit when he put the ice pick/screwdriver in the police kiddies (tyres from spaced) throat. Guessing it will only be hour long episodes from now on?

Bully Wee Villa Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Four Lions? Interesting opening episode, will definitely keep watching. Brutal stuff so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 What else has Wilson Wilson been in? I recognise him from somewhere. He was on the Angelos Epithemiou Show. Loved the first episode. Potential for another fantastic series on C4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Just finished watching it, really good. The two psycho's were particularly nasty, although not graphically violent I thought the bit with the gas canister was quite disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuthejag Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 What else has Wilson Wilson been in? I recognise him from somewhere. Think he played the really stupid bomber (blew himself up in a field),in Four Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Aye he's the one who had the different 'voices' for buying bleach from the same shop and who disguised his beard by putting his hands over his face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gall09 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Aye he's the one who had the different 'voices' for buying bleach from the same shop and who disguised his beard by putting his hands over his face Class. Love Neil Maskell as well. Was amazing in Kill List. As was the policeman who he plugged in the throat in Utopia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lau03143 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm sure the main killer was in the Bill or something like that. The lassie in it is quite hot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The torture scene was pretty disturbing. Not looked at chilies or spoons the same way since. I'm sure the main killer was in the Bill or something like that. The lassie in it is quite hot too. He was Rod in Football Factory as well.

DA Baracus Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Just finished watching it. Fucking brilliant stuff. Some big revelations and some good developments. Is Becky part of The Network then? Or is she working for a party that we dont yet know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm hooked on this, can't wait for the next episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Really enjoying this. The eye torture seen was pretty grim right enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaa Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Still brilliant, roll on next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I wonder if Becky is going to turn out to be... that MI5 woman that The Tramp was on about ? Probably not as I am rubbish at getting plot twists. The whole programme is fantastic so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 I fucking hate Grant. He's a tinky wee ned who needs an absolute kicking. I disliked him from the start, but really loathed him when he started crying out to the killer from the toilet. The sound when the politician guy (I forget his name) cut the finger was both glorious and hideous. Also I'm rarely shocked by TV, but the way the other guy told the politician that his wife would be raped was definitely a shocking moment. I think it was just the cold, casual way he said it, and the utter certainty behind it. As an aside, I saw an advert for a new series of Black Mirror. Good stuff.
