It was as if it was made with tongue firmly in cheek & deliberately cheesy, me & my mates found it hilarious. It was shown around Tea time on Saturdays iirc.

The alien ships are fucking brilliant. Resembling scaled up assemblies of toilet roll centres, empty fag packets and upturned Cornetto wrappers. CGI? Who needs it?

Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 21, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Wife suggested we download Our Yorkshire Farm, a fly-on-wall documentary spin-off following the Yorkshire Vet series. Done series one and two and just starting series three. Up to now it’s been quite interesting. Basically, a shepherd and shepherdess and their nine kids run a 2000 acre sheep farm. Kids aged between 18 and 3 and, I’ve got to say, it seems a brilliant way of life but proper hard graft. As we start season three, I can’t help wondering how it can be any different than one and two but everyone a year older. edit - wrong thread topic.

The one with the james bulger type thing going on and Stephen Graham playing that alcy were brilliant. Theyd be massive box sets on Netflix and all that now.

Whitestar Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Sunday afternoon in the golden days of TV used to be, Space 1999, Kick Off ( often had the Whites on), The Champions, Black Beauty. Then the golden shot whilst you had your tea. It was mostly down hill after tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
