The conspiracy nut character was promising but facing a poor target in Saunders. Hints of Staines kept slipping into his accent too, I half expected him to add 'for real' at points.

 

The liberal bellend bit reminded me of the Borat scene where he had dinner with a well-to-do group of (deep) Southerners - they (his hosts, in both scenarios) came across really well, polite and accepting in the face of ludicrous ideas and 'passive' provocation.

 

The con-artist bit could've been sommat that Shirley Ghostman bloke or him out of Four Lions would've done years ago, or a reject from the ideas bin of 'Da Ali G Show' and again the gallery girl came across as really game, fun and open.

 

The Israeli ex-commando though...:)

It's been almost universally savaged in reviews...

 

Dunno why, it's hardly Cohen's fault reality has become a satire of itself.

All the while giving SBC even more free publicity.

 

The political opponents of those on the show have already been using it as ammo in campaigning for the upcoming elections.

So I've watched the Detectorists on Netflix, first 2 series.

 

It's brilliant.

 

Then, I find out the only place to watch series 3 is on Amazon.

 

What the fucking fuck? In theory, there could come a time when an 8-series programme could be split across 8 different platforms.

 

It's a fucking crime, that's what it is, a fucking crime.

 

Twats.

Star Trek Discovery on Netfilx.

 

Never liked ST, and I love sci-fi, but found these new films fairly watchable so gave it a go.  Decent and quite dark

 

ST is a fine example of integrated communities thriving - apart from the Clingons, they can get fcuked.  Nuke em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure

I’m the same

 

Never liked ST but love sci fi and really enjoyed it

 

Apparently a lot of Trekkies hate it :D

Just finished the first series of Unforgotten on Netflix. Thought it was great.

 

I can only seem to find series 2 on ITV hub. It's just a shame I can't tolerate adverts anymore :)

I think stuff on ITV Hub isn't riddled with ads

I see Knightfall is screening on the History channel up there commencing some time this week. They are claiming "UK Premiere"? Is that right?

 

If you haven't seen it, well worth a watch.

Based on your rec, guna give it a go.

Bit gory and possibly over realistic in places mate but an excellent historical drama and an interesting update/refresher for those who hear the Islamic extremist over use of the Crusaders tag..
