Saville.
Just been reading what the local citizens have to say about the B.B.C. filming this in Bolton starring Steve Coogan. The comments section is interesting.

Re: Saville.
The comments section as ever is a depressing cross-section of the absolute pit of humanity and clearly reading comprehension or reading in general is not their strong suite.TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 6:47 pmJust been reading what the local citizens have to say about the B.B.C. filming this in Bolton starring Steve Coogan.

The whole point of the drama is that they've worked with the abuse survivors to give them a voice. Whether that works or is a good thing or whatever will be determined by the final work itself. But given most of the commentary is about 'this not being fair on the victims' its clear they either haven't read it or don't understand. Its absolutely crucial for survivors to have a voice. Whether this is the right way or not can't really be determined till we see the end product.
Given Coogan has agreed to do it, it must be one hell of a script.

Re: Saville.
(I love Coogan. Peter Hook does not. He described Coogan playing Tony Wilson in 24 Hour Party People as "the biggest c*nt in Manchester being played by the second biggest c*nt in Manchester" which is a good line, tbf).

Ah didn't know that. Fair enough. You're back to where you were in my estimation!

Re: Saville.
Good point, well made!
Re: Saville.
But Tony Wilson is dead. So it could still work.
