Brilliant TV, even if the Edinburgh accent grates…. Watched first episode and the accents are horrendous. I take it that isn’t Dougray Scott’s real accent? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The Macclesfield documentary is what a third series of The Office could have been.Only just watched it last night. thought the new owner seemed genuinely quite a decent sort, and his PA\Project Manger too. It’s just a shame that the whole programme about the revival of the club centred around Robbie Savage. I’ve no axe to grind with the guy or the right to dismiss his involvement and efforts in rebuilding the club and team (whatever they were), but there is something that is just thoroughly unlikable about him. Did Rob Smethurst see some mileage in his PR value to the re-launch, because it certainly wasn’t for his character and personality? Such a fragile ego, yet completely unaware and thick skinned at the same time, if that’s possible. It was more cringeworthy than a third series of the office could ever have been. Almost wish I could un-watch it, but it’s done now![emoji15] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard anyone speaking like these people do. Will stick with it as it got better as the episode went on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Same. Watched the first one last night. Aside from the weird accents, I wasn't overly impressed with the faux-Scots patter. I've never heard anyone speaking like these people do. Will stick with it as it got better as the episode went on.Finished it last night and enjoyed it overall but the accents are indeed brutal. Then son told me him and neighbours got letters prior to filming that BBC wanted to use houses and gardens in his area of Renfrew for filming. He never heard back but spotted his area from episode 4 onwards and Paisley Woodside Crematorium in last one. Also spotted lanes in Park Gardens in Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Watching a Clint Eastwood film on C5 I haven't heard of called Hang 'Em High, first film he made after his Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns. The cast is full of Hollywood regulars, bit surprised I haven't seen it before, maybe it died a death at the box office. Does seem a bit old fashioned for 1968. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I'm watching it as well. I thought it was well known as a classic but I've not seen it before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you haven't heard of it if you like the spaghetti westerns. They're trying to copy the spaghetti Ennio Morricone soundtracks and failing miserably. Not bad but Clint has to work on varying his scowl. Edited November 26, 2021 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) I agree with Variety. Apart from the "poor Italian-made imitation" bit. Quote The film became a major success after release in August 1968, and with an opening-day revenue of $5,241 in Baltimore alone, it became the biggest United Artists opening in history, exceeding all of the James Bond films at that time.[15] It debuted at number five on Variety's weekly survey of top films and had recouped production expenses within two weeks of screening.[15] It eventually grossed $6.8 million in the U.S.[3] It was widely praised by critics, including Arthur Winsten of the New York Post, who described Hang 'Em High as "a Western of quality, courage, danger and excitement."[13] Variety gave the film a negative review, calling it "a poor American-made imitation of a poor Italian-made imitation of an American-made western."[16] Edited November 26, 2021 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Jason Bourne on Film4 +1 . Why doesn't he ever just arrange a quiet cup of tea with the people he needs to talk to when he's off grid? Can't be that difficult and it would save all that running about and collateral damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Just watched Greta on BBC 1. Imagine my disappointment when it wasn't a biopic of the Swedish young lady trying to save the planet, but about a French psycho in New York who ends up left locked in a box of cuddly toys by a scale model of the Arc de Triomphe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
