Agree entirely. There's also this cringeworthy level of choreography now - every time any of them move as a group.Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 2:27 pmThe editing on that programme is so ridiculous it's turned it into some kind of parody. Everyone but Sugar are made to look like numpties. They do market research on finished products that they 'cant' alter, the team and the sub team separate but then seemingly cant keep in touch so they know what each other is doing etc etc.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 12:57 pmI fail to see how Sugar can elect a winner in this year's The Apprentice, as the final two have bullshitted their way there.
One has absolutely no credible business whatsoever. Claimed to be a designer of PJ'S yet has never designed anything. Then tried to play the green credentials card whilst actually planning to bring in any old shit from China.
The other one claims to own a bakery business which, it transpires, she only owns half of.
Reality TV is less reality and more entertainment nowadays.
After many years of watching, I think this might be my last. we'll see.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Watched a couple of films, Entebbe and The Diplomat. Latter was a M.I.6 chases a suitcase bomb etc, etc. Watchable but nothing special. Entebbe was a semi documentary about the Airline hijack and hole-up in Uganda in 1976 and the subsequent Special Forces rescue.. Decent film made better by a clever dance choreography (The Chair Dance) played around it. Enjoyed that one.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Being a history buff, I just watched a fascinating documentary on the Bayeux Tapestry. Totally riveting especially the shipbuilding section. Recommended.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Just watched Amazon primes new release the ‘Arsene Wenger - invincible’ documentary. Fantastic viewing! Not just for the brief glimpse of my son who was mascot in his last home match, but for an Arsenal fan who, though I watched my first game in George Graham’s reign, spent much of my teens/twenties enjoying the Wenger glory years. Proper lovely trip down memory lane!

Anyone watching the Ipcress File(s)
Really enjoying it. A series based on the Len Deighton book which had a young Michael Caine portraying the anti-hero Harry Palmer in the '70s film.

Taboo, with Tom Hardy.
Think we only have two left to watch. It's excellent. Really, really good.

Ah, something else I meant to mention, and that's how refreshing it is to see Stephen Graham, fine actor though he is, not playing a bloody Scouser.TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 2:56 pm

Ah, sorry Bruce, my error. If you haven't seen Peaky Blinders you've missed one of the best drama series ever from B.B.C. After six series, viewing figures were 3.8 million reaching 4.1 mil overnight. Utterly phenomenal series. Do watch it...
