buckhurstwhite Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 There's more virginias in Bolton - classic
stevieb Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 There's more virginias in Bolton - classic Golden?
Spider Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Quality I thought Kind of Phoenix Nights Meets Comic Strip "there's more vaginas in Bolton" was a stunning line...
MickyD Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I thought the word comedy meant I would find it funny.
Campos_Wig Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Much better than I expected. It should be on BBCi player tmrw for those that missed it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00d51ll/
Spider Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I thought the word comedy meant I would find it funny. Relax. It wasn't taking itself too seriously. Live a little
cureforsanity Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Well, the production company bought loads of stuff off us whilst they were filming it, so I'm happy. They used loads of local locations too so don't be surprised if you think 'hang on, I know that street'! on more than one occasion! You'd actually be very surprised just how much filming does go on in Boltons streets for telly and film!

frank_spencer Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 [/size] crimewatch. rogue traders. rogue restaraunts, they filmed a crunchy nuts ad in Cheadle square once.
Nowack Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) I had to turn it off it was so cringworthy. Where Brass Eye, the office and operation good guys used the mockumentary as a vehicle for its humour; this used the format to simply hide a lack of imagination and scriptwriting ability. Dire Edited August 22, 2008 by Nowack
Burndens Bogs Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I thought it was ok and it raised the odd smirk,there are a lot worse programmes on't telly.
Peter North Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Wanted so much to like it, but sadly felt let down. Apparently it's based very much on a Canadian TV series about Hockey Dad's. The sweary girl was the best bit in it. "Feck off Baldy!" Watched Mock the week first, where Dara O Brain and his crew royally slagged off Bolton!
Burndens Bogs Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 The sweary girl was the best bit in it. "Feck off Baldy!" That's the daughter of a mate of mine - she's a decent footballer in real life too (and a Wanderers fan)

Dire brasseye???? not sure that be a fair comparison nothing like the cup or the office or operation good guys
Nowack Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 brasseye???? not sure that be a fair comparison nothing like the cup or the office or operation good guys The Cup was supposdly about a film crew making a documentry about a youth football team and I would therefore class it as a "mockumentry". Brass Eye and to an extent The Day Today took the Panarama/sky news documentry style and parodied it, as did The Office and Operation Good Guys with the fly on the wall type of documentry so I think the comparison is valid. Either way it doesnt change the fact it was crap in my opinion.
Smiley Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 You'd actually be very surprised just how much filming does go on in Boltons streets for telly and film! if you've got Sky then watch the Prem Movie channel on Saturday night - The Kingdom - quality film and all done on location in Daubhill and Halliwell.
C86 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 if you've got Sky then watch the Prem Movie channel on Saturday night - The Kingdom - quality film and all done on location in Daubhill and Halliwell. and Plodder Lane Tory Club for the bar scenes.
Gumbo Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 In one respect it was accurate towards many football dads up and down the country and i could see that as a funny side On the other hand if i supported another club id be sat there saying it wasn't funny and full of Boltonian Wanderers gary nevilles!
