I mean it was a very good impression (think the actor is australian - could be wrong) but she'd certainly never been to Cheshire.

I wonder if Ch4 are helping the deaf community to prove deafness needn’t be a disability. 

Sorry,  should say scripted. 

But hard to hide away when you've got a cameraman following you round.

It even starts each episode by declaring, “Some powers of the state are replicated”

There’s no way they’re allowed access to all of the country’s CCTV, ANPR, etc. yet almost as soon as those two deaf lads jumped on the bus to Glasgow, the hunters were viewing the bus CCTV, despite there being no live feed from a bus. I get that editing would perhaps squeeze real-time and edited time closer together but even the state don’t have a live feed from a bus setting off from the Highlands down to Glasgow and have been viewed before the bus’s arrival.

It’s all bollocks. Besides, no fucker could go for a country-wide game of hide and seek and be seen anywhere near usual haunts.

That copper has had use of at least 2 cars and a caravan.
All she needs do is tow the caravan around and never be seen in public.

I get some dramatised scenes. 

Deaf pair, hide at a house, hunters just happen to be 15 mins away.  They get there and decide to check all neighbours houses. 

2 girls, they happen to be nearby, gp to the house, old lady tells them they're not allowed in, so scamper away, seemingly knowing exactly which direction they're heading. 

Still.. its a no brain needed watch whilst I'm marking so.. ain't too bad..

Against my better judgement I watched the Alex Ferguson documentary this morning. Was it worth suffering the nausea at watching that shower of shite being so successful again? I have to say yes.

Obviously totally and utterly uninterested in the DMB football side of things but I am fascinated by what makes successful people tick. It is surprising, particularly in the sporting arena, how many have similar driving forces. Harsh and difficult upbringing seems to engender a ferocious drive to succeed in some people. Ferguson, Clough, Lombardi, Shankly, Piggott - the list goes on. Having watched that, I can understand why players would run through brick walls for him.

Never dawned on me before but he is a male replica of my Scottish aunt as far as attitude is concerned. Hardcore bluenose family who made good and moved west away from the tenements. The older end may remember that, particularly in Scotland women used to use a very white powder on their faces usually coupled with an intensely red lipstick. Harsh is the word and also described her personality. A fearsome woman who you would not dare to cross. Once saw her give my female cousin a backhander which knocked her clean across the room and drew blood (in a fire brigade house very close to The Mosley Arms when parts of Breightmet back then were very respectable). Her drive though also propelled my uncle all the way to being the chief fire officer for Hertfordshire (Keith Lard puns expected- fire away  ).

This 'never give in' attitude nails it exactly - especially in her case.

My great nana was from the Gorbals, and I'm a Liberal meterocentric theatre luvvie.

Never give in. Grrrrrr.

Top Gear.

Absolute dog shit.

Never really watched it since it was a half hour motoring magazine show on a Thursday night, in those days it was informative and entertaining and something for the motorist on any budget.

However coz we're getting a new carpet fitted tomorrow we're forced to spend the evening viewing on the upstairs (no skyQ) tv, and happened to be watching Top Gear.

OMG.

[ErnestTurnip]

Netflix Keep Sweet Pray Obey, not really much we haven't seen before but another reminder of how easy people can get manipulated and become a part of crazy shit.

[Not in Crawley]

Is it me or is Netflix just full of crap now? Real life crime that drags out a story too long, old films and loads of WW2 docs - Hitler's Secret Sex Life was one of the latest.

Thinking of giving it up, apart from rewatching Borgen and Peep Show, can't say I've watched anything on it for ages.

[Marc505]

This Falklands War thing on BBC2 now needs to be watched by as many people as possible, it's pure in your face reality of conflict, absolutely brutal stories.

"Avenue 5" is alright. Like a cross between "Don't Look Up" and "The Orville" - starring Hugh Laurie as the Captain of a Space Cruise Ship. Quite funny. Written by Armando Ianucci. Hadn't even heard of it until this morning, but binge watched the full 9 episodes as I'm laid up with a chest infection. Had to pay for it on Amazon.

Watched Love Island for the first time as my daughter was watching it.

Couldn't get over how many times they used, like in a sentence. I know they are not there for their sparkling wit but it was almost an illiterate level of chat.
