Featured Replies

New comedy on tonight at 9.30 on BBC2, about a bloke who wants his son to play for BWFC, looks good.

Golden?

Quality I thought

 

Kind of Phoenix Nights Meets Comic Strip

 

"there's more vaginas in Bolton" was a stunning line...

I thought the word comedy meant I would find it funny.

Relax.

 

It wasn't taking itself too seriously.

 

Live a little

It was a load of old shite.

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!

they filmed a crunchy nuts ad in Cheadle square once.

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.

I thought it was ok and it raised the odd smirk,there are a lot worse programmes on't telly.

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!

That's the daughter of a mate of mine - she's a decent footballer in real life too (and a Wanderers fan) :good:

is it repeated on telly at any time?

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.

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.

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!
