Nighty Night just brilliant - you didn't see it when broadcast? Chillingly hilarious, so good...General Mannerheim wrote:a little dvd spree today - bought the 'Spaced' box set, both seasons of 'Nighty Night', 'The Day Today' boxset, picked up 'Blow' & Inglourious on Blu-ray - and following WoW's guardian list (The Wite thread) have just ordered 'Our Friends in the North'!
half way through the first series of Spaced at the mo - Classic!!!
Our Friends in the North outstanding - dramatised social history of four young friends going over thirty years on wildly divergent journeys, outstanding political drama written by the brilliant Peter Flannery... Last episode intensely moving... fuelled by a profound hatred of Thatcher and all her works... so I'm not exactly averse...

remember OFITN being on, but never sat down and got stuck into it properly.
Went to see Avatar in 3D last night.
Visually - obviously it's fairly epic being so long in the making and with advanced technology. The 3D is a little strange at times, it didn't seem to be right now and then but for the most part it was good.
Mythology of the aliens..not too bad. Felt like it could have been lifted straight from an episode of Stargate.
Storyline is pretty standard and predictable though, an evil human corporation driven by profit looks to displace indiginous population sitting on valuable resources.
In many ways it reminded me of a Bruce Parry programme from the Amazon where the loggers are intent on cutting down the trees and sacred ground of tribes...
Oh and nice to see Michelle Rodriguez branching out and playing another tough chick!

Our Friends is possibly my favourite drama series of all time. I've been waiting years to see it again, but the boxset is utterly impossible to get in any shops.

couldn't agree more - watched it at the time it was broadcast - and was living in the NE at the time (Hartlepool) - utterly spellbinding..William the White wrote:Nighty Night just brilliant - you didn't see it when broadcast?

David Bradley is always worth his salt - and wasn't a young Christopher Ecclestone in it (well before his Doctor Who spell)?

Check out this gem of a website....I keep expecting Hoboh to feature in it one day

I didn't watch it - I was too scared by the image it conjured of a sort of Nazi-styled Reader's Wives.
You can picture it. Deeply unattractive, scrawny women with lank hair and dead eyes sprawl in badly decorated suburban bedrooms, naked save for a Swastika armband.
Although maybe the programme was something different.
"People are crazy and times are strange
I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range
I used to care, but things have changed"

Really? Coz that's not how I imagine them at all, I see mousey, not unattractive if a little plain women, who always walk a half step behind their husbands, and secretly think he is a bit of a nice person, but also like standing next to him at parties and admiring the way he spouts powerful yet empty rhetoric whilst sectretly thinking, 'well that's not strictly true is it? But I do like it when John is so forceful'. The ones who'd say phrases like, 'he's right you know'.Puskas wrote:That was on some time ago.Gary The Beaver wrote:BNP Wives.

One was a lonely divorcee, but not a holocaust denier.
One was an unspectacular looking fitness instructor who insisted on a White midwife because it was her husbands idea.
The third was a Kym Woodburn lookalike who said ''I'm a cat person.'' She then proceeded to point out various items of cat idolatory and then showed a statue of a chinese cat (?) whilst stating ''this is one of the ones they didn't eat''
Just to cheer myself up after that I watched 'Cage Fighting Women'
