Years ago, I did Journeys End with James Norton on tour and then in the west end. He wasn't a name back then but still, a lovely man you couldn't hope to meet. Did 16 radio ads (back when radio ads were a thing) without complaint, and then did them again so I had more to select from.

Not all actors will do that. Top bloke, and everyone since has said the same thing.

Aye, sort of made the back story a waste of time

Wanted to see that chemist hauled in and panicking a bit more

Thats how I felt too they painstakingly built up that sub plot but ended it with a whimper.

I can see the scraps of evidence about the PE teacher being a nonce over the course of the episodes now, one of the daughters never taking her coat off feels really harrowing looking back, but everything just being ticked off in the space of 5 mins was a let down.

Think the PE teacher could have been banged up for murder and noncing leaving the chemist to seemingly get away with it… leaving the storyline open! Also, Super Dario/Darius - we didn’t seem him getting hauled away… sure he wouldn’t have gone lightly.

Loved the car scene last night. Said to the Mrs straightaway, “there’s going to be some nasty deaths here”. Didn’t disappoint.

The pharmacist walked away with a cogs going round in his head look on his face but I think they hinted that they'd go after him next, just wish we'd have seen them all get their comeuppance. 

Made me laugh out loud the way TLR was talking to the guy next to him in the car 😃

Seen a doc advertised on Sky about the massive Fatboy Slim party they held on Brigton beach years ago that ended up being chaos. Could be along similar lines as that Woodstock 99 one off Netflix

Expected 60k turning up, apparently 250k did

I like the qoute

“If that had been an Oasis gig, we would have been fucked"

I enjoyed it, not really much of a fan of the Fatboy Slim big beat type sound (or Fatboy Slim himself really!) But this was a good watch, and a look back at a more innocent time.

I reckon this could be the worst thing ever made.

No doubt wokeness will be blamed when it inevitably flops

Agent Scully playing Emily Maitlis. Filth on filth.

Anderson Hawes and Piper all at once?

I don’t think I have enough left in the bucket to cope.

Apart from the line about wogs and coons, the rest of it is fine.

And even that line wasn’t offensive at the time, so it’s reet.

Cant really use it in 2023.
