I enjoyed it too. Although I can't decide whether it's a vehicle for Coogan, the 'becoming slightly over-exposed' Brydon or a free advert for the Cumbrian fine dining lobby.

Aye, enjoying it too.
IMO, it's basically the two of them doing to themselves exactly what Gervais did to the guest star every week in the also brilliant Extras. Portraying a exaggerated version of how the public perceive them. Very clever.

Yes I'm "getting it" now too. Liked the look of en'clume or whatever it was called as well.

Made me laugh a few times which I think is what they're aiming for.

not sure I liked the look of the "snot" drink - nor the £180 bill!

The snot drink is one of the most amazing things you could ever taste.

They had a fair few courses with various bottles of wine.

Not surprised at the bill.

And I bet that "snot" tasted really really nice.

Talking of Gervais, was it me or did the head waiter at L'Enclume look like a bizarre hybrid of him and Benitez? It was enough to put you off your snot drink.

If you're still on Lovefilm, stick 'A Cock and Bull Story' on there - similar premise, same people.

Funny as owt on TV at the moment

Not even the best place in Cartmel. Couldn't beat the nags up there (not as in racing them). Great days out, they were.

Watched Gran Torino tonight. All the way through. Don't know why, really. Wanted to avoid the pre-Raphaelites on BBC4, i suppose. It wasn't very good really.

Lacking the required quota of unpleasant Brits?

I liked it, but it was lacking in explosions and 12 foot prawns.... and the characters were way to developed for my liking

But then again, it is just entertainment for the unwashed

CAPSLOCK · Post by **CAPSLOCK** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 12:49 am

Oh aye, if you didn't like that, give Harry Brown a very, very wide berth

Caine was great in Zulu, though so I'll let him off

It's a similar concept I suppose, rather than a direct connection.

Still, Gran Torino is superb, so maybe William the White is just trying to be provocative.

William the White · Post by **William the White** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 4:01 pm

Not being provocative at all. I'm afraid to say I just didn't like Gran Torino very much. Like Mystic River I thought the premise was great but the script just didn't deliver. Didn't think the relationship between Eastwood's character and the boy-next-door was truly worked for, and never really believed it. I thought the gang of no-goods were just lifted out of a stock cupboard and the Eastwood family thinly drawn.

Not anywhere near superb IMHO...
