Shandon Par Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Martin Compston going around Scotland showing he’s just a pure dead normal boay frae Greenock. Toe curling. Lovely views from Greenock though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Great Movies Classic (Freeview ch. 52) has today been renamed Great Movies Christmas. Xmas Movies, all day everyday. For the avoidance of doubt, this is annoying, there are still over 100 days till Xmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan8472 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 SHETLAND - various crimes , but the lawyer murdered in series six must have been the last defence lawyer there , or all the suspects are legal experts. There are no legal representatives present when any suspect is questioned ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the earlier series written by the actual author good ? Were they on a Sunday night ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Michael Palin in Iraq on Channel 5 is utterly fascinating. Much like his North Korea documentary a couple of years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys McCabe Hype Train Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Shetland. Utter pish now, can tell there’s no book to base the screenplays off for the latter seasons. Plus they continue to have big sweeping panoramic views of Shetland then cut to scenes that have clearly been shot in the west end of Glasgow. Shouldn’t be any more seasons after this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car chase scene in the last series there, view from perez and the crooks car, tight road, barely space either sidr of the car Cuts to the helicopter view of the chase, its like a fucking dual carriageway they are on, then back to the incar view, road is back to being a shitty tight we road lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Also Top of the Pops 1993 on BBC Four these past few weeks has been top notch. No Radio 1 DJs in sight either so that's a bonus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Shetland is dreadful. Not one Shetland accent, legally illiterate dialogue, every character has one set of clothes, Perez is a shite polis who just accuses everyone and eventually has the answer revealed to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched about 5 minutes of it once and I heard 2 Aberdeen accents, a Weegie accent and fuck knows what the other one was, but it wasn't Shetland, or Caitness, or Inverness, or anywhere north of Perth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has been to 90% of the places he is going to in this series, I can vouch that it’s about the most authentic picture of the country you’ll get on that level. Compare and contrast with the Top Gear nonsense from a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Dont Hug Me I'm Scared has finally made it's transition from Web series to Channel 4. Watched all 6 episodes on All4 and like the original, it lives rent free in my head. Was worried how it would translate from 8-12 minute web episodes to a 23 minute format but it works perfectly. An amazing mixture of creepy, funny, surrealism and wonderful voice acting. It's not for everyone but I just love it! If you've never seen it, go do the 6 web episodes first. You don't really need to but you'll fully understand a lot of the easter eggs in it if you do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
