Been watching Viewpoint and by coincidence somebody called Noel Clarke whose one of the main characters has been suspended by bafta. Sexual misconduct in the past apparently. No idea what that means but I'm quite glad I'm not famous!

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Rejoice!
Another series of the superb "Inside Number 9" is almost upon us

Inside No. 9 confirms series 6 return date for May

Get ready.

Very underwhelmed by last night's LOD finale

 

[Drog]

Most were. Biggest disappointment since the rushed ending of GOT.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

I thought it was very clever. My interpretation is that the writer was emphasising the cover up by the chief constable. I think he will be the focus in the next series.

 

[Drog]

I thought that too. Buckell is not a big enough fish is he? However I also believed this to the finale? Is it not?

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

In the prison scene where the lawyer gets strangled Buckells is shocked. Someone higher must have ordered the hit and he didn’t know about it.

 

[Drog]

Hmmmm......... good point

GMTV sinking to new lows as they scramble is on to find a replacement for Piers Morgan. I can tell them by moving to the pinkos that they are looking in the wrong direction. 'Bring back Piers!' GMB fans furious as Bercow's Boris 'puppy dog' jibe humiliates Susanna (msn.com)
That little pissquick Bercow is a stupid choice. A complete knob with little man syndrome and a wife that he cannot control and who continually mocks and embarrasses him and who is universally scorned and disliked is hardly likely to attract viewers is he?
Currently hope is the serial loser and part time screwball Alastair Campbell!
Grief! They'd just overtaken BBC Breakfast in the ratings after years of trying in vain and it's all gone tits up! I bet they dearly wish they'd binned off that weatherman with the chip on both shoulders instead! I'd be surprised if Susannah Reid isn't very seriously pondering her future.

I can't see Susanna Reid putting up with this shit for very long.
I'm not often up early enough to watch much GMTV but the other morning I had to be up early to allow for a nurse to come to give me a Covid test prior to my hernia operation on Thursday. Campbell was there on screen alongside Susanna who appeared to look at him like there was a nasty smell under her nose.
He was talking crap with a cocky attitude and within the first two minutes couldn't resist declaring his support for "his team", Burnley. He really is a useless prat and will lose them viewers hand over fist. They need to beg Morgan to come back as soon as possible and get rid of that little pillock who reads the weather forecast.

And that in a nutshell is the b***ley small syndrome. Those that are so afflicted have to shoot their mouths off about their allegiance at every opportunity like it’s some kind of badge of honour. Honestly Campbell, no one cares.

Campbell’s a dick , always has been , he’s deranged too .

A big style bandwagon jumper . A Yorkshireman who started supporting a ‘ Lancashire’ club when they were in 1st Division in the 1960s , whilst his local teams , Bradford City and Bradford Park Avenue were struggling in the lower divisions.

I stopped watching Breakfast news ( BBC , ITV and Sky ) years ago so haven’t had the ‘privilege’ of seeing him . I listen to Talk Radio in the early morning ( before heading out to the golf course) and they’ve been taking the piss out of Campbell all week .

GB News can’t start soon enough as far as I’m concerned . We might then get a bit of balanced news reporting , instead of the woke , left wing garbage currently being pumped out by the mainstream media.

Well done to Ian Paisley Jr who lambasted the BBC last night for taking the mick out of Edwin Poots’ Christian faith in Nick Watts’ segment prior to the interview . In comparison with their almost evangelical devotion to the ‘ Religion of Peace ‘ , he hits the nail firmly on the head.

By all means the BBC has the right to have a pop at religion , but have a pop at them all or none. I can’t remember them taking the mick out of the religious beliefs of Anas Sarwar , the new Scottish Labour leader .

This follows a similar trend in the BBC’s pro - Palestinian , anti - Israel bias , called out this time by Melanie Philips ( from around 2.20 )

Hopefully not too long before we get some fair , balanced and objective news reporting .

Oh no! Jenny'n Lee are leaving gogglebox!


(that better?)

Jenny'n Lee are leaving googlebox!

Is that a bit like Gogglebox but for search engine fans??

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Pardon?

 

[Smells Like Kean Spirit]

Sean Bean seems to be Jimmy McGovern's go to actor in a similar way that Mike Lee looks to Timothy Spall to bring his characters to life. Previously watched Bean play a troubled priest in Broken and just finished watching him in a similarly troubled role, as a convicted teacher, in Time. Well written, well acted, gritty without being too preachy. Reminiscent of Alan Bleasdale without the heaped on sentimentality. Preferred Broken as there were more episodes to allow the characters to develop. Time was very realistic in its depiction of prison landing power politics, and the violence, although it was quite heavy at times. Enjoyed both a lot though.

Brassic back on sky next month for a third series. If you’ve never seen it I can highly recommend it as one of the funniest shows I’ve seen in ages. A lot of the scenes are filmed around the East Lancs West Yorkshire area.
