One is Sophie Rundle working for the British Consulate in Barcelona. Watched the first two last night. Not bad at all. Doesn't someone on here have strong connections with Catalonia? They'd enjoy it for certain. Possibly a little lightweight with the Brit humour in there. We will find out as we get deeper into it. So far, looks 7/10-ish. The Merthyr Tydfil bootgirls were quite entertaining - especially for you rug muncher fans. The second one is a US one about the ambassador to the UK. Much 'heavier'. Only watched a few minutes but shows promise. Just on the Second one vary good 4 in so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the rumours of what went on in the Bataclan are despicable. They're kind of in urban myth territory though and lot of details were withheld from reports and inquiries so it's hard to tell what's true and what's not.

Leyther_Matt Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I remember being in a hotel in Edinburgh and turned the news for 10 minutes before bed just as the whole think was breaking. Ended up staying up for another two hours, thinking I’d put some movie channel on instead by mistake. Doesn’t even bear thinking about being in a similar situation.

That's not the Jonestown documentary I should have suggested. It's mainly survivors recounting their experiences. THIS is the best one - a Storyville series from the BBC called 'Terror in the Jungle', but only available on youtube now. Apologies! My memory is fucked. Did you watch this @MancWanderer? I re-watched it yesterday and it is even better than I remembered, in a grim sort of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just did all 3 back to back The bombing, the reasons, etc, are classic US stuff - just the back story It’s the fuck ups following the bombing. The “let’s just let fly with as many bullets as possible” into the area where the suspect might be and, fingers crossed, none will enter a house and kill an innocent civilian. When the second suspect was hidden in the boat and anyone with a gun and a badge just turned up and unloaded their guns in a free for all And all the “USA, USA, USA” shit Blimey!!

On 02/05/2023 at 19:13, Spider said: Agreed. Found cheers pretty disappointing after getting through the Frasiers Watched Cheers when it was first broadcast. Watched it back again in full during lockdown. Loved it. It’s a definite build Hated everything about Frasier. Couldn’t get into it. He was great as a bit part in Cheers. His own series? No thanks Possibly depends on which you watched first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks Possibly depends on which you watched first? Absolutely loved Cheers when I was a kid, as it was always on really late, and I had to sneakily watch it when I was supposed to be asleep. But like you, Frasier never clicked for me. Bit of a tangent, but I've never been able to get this out of my brain. There's a tiny, barely-audible 'quack' noise 2 seconds into the theme tune that I first heard ~30 years ago and wasn't able to un-hear it everytime I watched it. I thought it was just some mad thing my child-brain invented, until I listened to it again on youtube a few years ago.
