was too busy with the american horses.

 

 

seeing it last week made me stop betting for 2 days.

 

no watching again.

death? horrid injury? or did someone get humiliated again?

Most of the outside stuff was filmed on location in Marple.

The 2nd one is even worse! - you'd have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by the ending :cray:

 

Agreed it has been excellent,it's the last one next week i think .

This Sunshine is a great series. Well acted and a storyline that we can relate to, even if you don't like a bet. I love it. Apparently Peter Kay was offered the lead role but turned it down because he had too many other commitments/ better things to do. I think Kay could have pulled it off but Coogan is brilliant in the part. It reminds me of that programme years ago 'Big Deal' , the main character was called Robbie box if I remember correctly. It was my favourite programme on telly at the time ( and Sweeney of course), I couldn't wait for the next episode the following week.

 

We are spoilt with good television in this country but we don't really appreciate it unless we spend a few months abroad.

I don't actually watch a lot of telly. We only have 5 channels at our house but I'm thinking of getting that freeview next year. The government will probably be giving the freeview boxes away free of charge by then anyway. I won't make much use of the extra channels when I get it, apart from maybe watching re-runs of the Avengers with Tara and Purdy love-smiley-011.gif

Great programme. To have comedy elements in and then hard hitting storylines too - proper emotional rollercoaster.

Think it could be well on its way to winning a lot of Awards.

Only saw episode 2 last night - so going to have to watch ep1 sometime.

 

Back to "Toddy" and the shovel and the dog-sh?t - both me and my mum were crying, holding our stomachs watching that. Soooooo funny!

 

Craig Cash is superb - back to his stereotypical role (from Royle Family) and Ahern as the barmaid looked a bit mucky too!!

 

I've never really gambled - but by watching that programme - Christ, what a very very bad addiction it is.

 

(think it shows binmen in a bad light - which is wrong - they emptied my parent's bin this week - first time in a month - so not all of them are skiving cnts!)

I know this will be a SEB - but saw your flag all over the Bolton News last night.

No doubt someone has mentioned this elsewhere.

Have you got image rights for it?

It sort of lulls you into a false sense of security with all the gags and that - then it hits hard.

 

After watching Cash in several programmes, i've come to the conclusion that he always plays the same part!

 

The programme could really be based around any addiction imo, they're all grim - they tear families apart and ruin lives.

You're right, but after co-writing this superb series as well as Royle Family and Early Doors, think I'll let him off.

WHEN CAN DADDY BEAR SEE THE HONEY POT AGAIN !!!

He's basically playing himself - nice bloke is Craig; used to play golf at the same club as him - salt of the earch fella - no airs or graces

The bookies in Episode 1 was on Turves Road, Cheadle Hulme, on the Parade of shops facing the big pub at the top of Highfield Road.

Aye, they did a bit in Oldham aswell I think and the panoramic views last night were from Mellor church I think

The only good thing about Marple is the girls at the 6th form college at lunch time which reminds me I'm off out for lunch now :p

I thought the red arrows scene where his mate is chatting that bird up and the bin van came driving up with the brushes out the window was class

 

Also his 'Bet you didn't expect to wake up here Donna'

I think quite a few of us on here know someone like the Coogan character.

I certainly know one or two like that.

 

It'll never happen to me though, I've giving up gambling once that big win comes!

first episode was utter gash. didnt bother with the next one.

Each to their own: I enjoyed it.

I've just spent the last hour watching Episode 2 on iPlayer.

Enjoyed both episodes so far especially recognising all the joyful Marple sites

Are kid went to the primary school and all the marple mafia would have played on that football pitch

Never chucked shit at anyone though!

Sounds good to me this, big fan of Coogan.

 

Gonna watch both episodes on iplayer now.
