you sound a bit like c-man

― Carl Taylor (688), Thursday, 1 February 2007 09:11 (eighteen years ago)

I thought it was terrific. Like This Life should have been, or something. The lobbyist (not the dead one) is very sexy, for a man.

(I liked the posh girl's seduction routine involving the upper classes' tolerance for food past its sell by date)

Patrick Baladi in his smalls is always good as far as i'm concerned.

Boris Johnson MP
Shadow minister for higher education

I saw the first bit, which was a load of old cobblers, and I gave up immediately.

I gave it 10 minutes, then stuck on the DVD of the West Wing series three.

― Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Friday, 2 February 2007 09:36 (eighteen years ago)

the West Wing is good if you just forget what it's supposed to be portraying.

― vita susicivus (blueski), Friday, 2 February 2007 11:36 (eighteen years ago)

it's portraying a fictional version of the west wing.

lookit, 'the west wing' went out at 9pm on one of the major networks, entirely dependent on advertising dollars, very expensive to make, it ran for 7 series and each of them was almost four times the length of a british series. a *couple* of allowances have to be made, no? especially within the culture-warz context of the US since, you know, whenever.

'party animals' went out on bbc2, had no advertisers to please, had an assured run whatever the viewing figures and reviews, and was still far less believable and less well written, acted, and produced than 'the west wing' (even series five).

the first five minutes i was just like 'oh fuck off, even a fictional whitehall isn't like that.'

covering eyes and ears for the West Wing titles also helps.

― vita susicivus (blueski), Friday, 2 February 2007 11:43 (eighteen years ago)

well, yes.

Anyone spot the kitchen from This Life? New fridge & breakfast bar thang, but the SAME SINK with funky coloured window above it.

I was expecting/hoping that Anna would walk in smoking and eating toast.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 09:35 (eighteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

The last two episodes of this have been just brilliant. I especially like the scenes between the two brothers.

Scott: [moaning about Ashika being off with him]
Danny: If a girl slaps you, do you think if means she fancies you?
Scott: She didn't slap me?
Danny: No, not you - me.
Scott: You? No.

And Kirsty's night on coke was perfect.

The posh girl has a rather astounding CV, by the way. And she was on the Eamonn Holmes show talking about football.

― Alba, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:14 (eighteen years ago)

I did notice the This Life kitchen, yes. I watched the first episode of this, lost interest really quickly. I'd actually forgotten all about it until this thread got revived.

― ailsa, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:52 (eighteen years ago)

Burton-Hill made headlines in February 2007 when it was revealed that she wanted hen fap.

???? oh wikipaws...

― scott seward, Monday, 26 February 2007 15:54 (eighteen years ago)

It's been really, really good so far. Shelley Conn - mmmmm! May I also mention the stern, smouldering hottness of Raquel Cassidy. And it really is the kitchen from This Life!

― Dr.C, Monday, 26 February 2007 16:10 (eighteen years ago)

Raquel Cassidy is great. She is restored my faith in New Labour.

I forgot - the other thing I really loved was the whole bears cruelty thing. It cracked me up when Scott's moral insecurity led him on tirades where the word "bears" became a shorthand. I think maybe I just find bears instrinsically funny.

― Alba, Monday, 26 February 2007 20:48 (eighteen years ago)

Scott and Kirsty - OMG. Will Danny find out this week? Not sure about last week's Russian businessman/cash for questions plot - but who cares?

Also great - Peter Wight (as always) as George the Tory party chairman.

Raquel Cassidy Hottness.

― Dr.C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 08:46 (eighteen years ago)

Tonight's was solid enough but not that exciting. Do you think they're playing it a bit safe by more or less sticking to characters from the two offices and Scott's lobbying firm? I wonder if they should be branching out a bit more, making it more multi-stranded.

― Alba, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 22:30 (eighteen years ago)

Oh I thought it was a really good episode! I like the fact that they're developing the characters a bit more - that seems to fit well with fast plots. Too many characters and it would be too blurry.

Immense hottness from Burton-Hill, Conn and Cassidy too.

― Dr.C, Sunday, 4 March 2007 20:42 (eighteen years ago)

Jeez-o, the last bit of this week's was brilliant. Danny on the doorstep and then the two of them (again) jumping around to their Walls Come Tumbling Down. You get a real sense of Labour history, as well as two brothers and the shadow of their father.

― Alba, Saturday, 10 March 2007 00:58 (eighteen years ago)

one year passes...

It never came back :/

― Alba, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 13:20 (seventeen years ago)

I don't think it ever will, sadly, despite leaving plenty scope for plots to be developed. The likes of Andrea Riseborough and Andrew Buchan may not be interested now, as they seem to be in demand for a ton of stuff over the last year.

― Dr.C, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 13:27 (seventeen years ago)

oh, N., really.

Those things never work for me.

― the pinefox, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 13:57 (seventeen years ago)

I thought it was very accurately done.

― Alba, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 13:58 (seventeen years ago)

Have you taken cocaine?

― the pinefox, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 13:59 (seventeen years ago)

Have you?

i knew i was right.

vital questions both.

― special guest stars mark bronson, Monday, 5 January 2009 10:44 (sixteen years ago)

Laudanum I reckon.

― Birth Control to Ginger Tom (Noodle Vague), Monday, 5 January 2009 10:46 (sixteen years ago)

I came to this thread to ask if this was worth renting/watching, but now I'm just wondering if the Pinefox has taken cocaine.

they just had the tory girl in her undies for about 1.4 seconds: WS '09

floppy-hair homeboy so not Doctor material

word on that

― special guest stars mark bronson, Tuesday, 6 January 2009 10:01 (sixteen years ago)

gah, Weller

― Paterson Broseph (sic), Tuesday, 6 January 2009 10:24 (sixteen years ago)

actually, that sounded pretty good, do The Style Council hold up?

― Paterson Broseph (sic), Tuesday, 6 January 2009 10:29 (sixteen years ago)

style council are AWESOME

― doggy1998: im only only 10 and i listen to music like this (stevie), Tuesday, 6 January 2009 11:46 (sixteen years ago)

better than jam, much better than weller solo

― doggy1998: im only only 10 and i listen to music like this (stevie), Tuesday, 6 January 2009 11:46 (sixteen years ago)

(YMMV)

― doggy1998: im only only 10 and i listen to music like this (stevie), Tuesday, 6 January 2009 11:46 (sixteen years ago)

I was actually thinking "hey this sounds better than the Jam, can that be right?" assuming it was all a hellish downhill careening towards the solo career. Walls Come Tumbling Down too, not like I'd never heard it as a kid.

― Paterson Broseph (sic), Tuesday, 6 January 2009 11:59 (sixteen years ago)

ver jam were rubbish imo

― special guest stars mark bronson, Tuesday, 6 January 2009 12:00 (sixteen years ago)

yeah, definitely not saying "hey this sounds better than the Jam, can that be possible?"

love that 'reunion' Dexy's DVD with Talbot running tings too, maybe I should go buy a zip-up parka
