BS2 Red Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Seconded, it's a great show. I find I miss a lot of the dialogue though as I'm too busy trying to spot locations I recognise! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Yeah I've really enjoyed it. The main 7 characters are unique from one another but I'm rooting for each one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Quite enjoying it nowhere near the best that Merchant has done but fairly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 I'm enjoying it, but it can't quite make its mind up whether it's a comedy or drama. It struggles to balance the two. Still well worth a watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWANG50 Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Some dodgy accents but other than that brilliant. It is a little bit of everything a drama, comedy and just something you don't have to be completly absorbed by. Also some great acting from some of the lesser known cast members.

BS2 Red Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 I think Merchant has done very well to avoid coming down on one side of Bristolian politics. I can't remember character names, but he has one guy who is your stereotypical right wing Daily Mail type. And also has a woman who is a stereotypical leftie. And both are utterly ridiculous while also being totally believable. It's skilfully done when he managed to make "throw Colston in the river" and "throwing him in was vandalism" both equally ridiculous while not coming across as an insufferable centrist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off on a tangent I am not sure if you are watching the current BBC1 programme called "Showtrial" this is set in Bristol too. Lot's of filming around the Create centre and park etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Saw E1 & it was a bit too dark for me. I was expecting a comedy. Never mind. Back to repeats of Teachers, Skins & Why Don't You for me . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually plotted all the locations on a map while watching it again during LD1. It was quite the thing: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1c3GGYGUnXcCN-fkpKfwvTHHVcESbylvD&usp=sharing That map is quite the thing! You should’ve done more quizzes . . .

In episode 3 when they're on the boat, I thought if the drone went higher, Ashton Gate may have been viable in the distance but it wasn't. Cut away too early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is quite masterful. If only I knew what a subreddit was eh Used to bloody love Teachers. Started watching from the start again a while ago.

Spot on. The quality nosedived after that. For those 2 series though it was unmissable TV. Loved the fact their local pub was the old Seymours Club(from the outside only though, I think) - had a cracking evening in there once watching the Wurzels supported by Fred Wedlock. It was bedlam.

Series 2 shouldn't be too far away either, they have either finished filming or soon will have. It was their truck that went into the docks. They filmed something for series 2 outside my flat. If you see a shop scene with curtains twitching in the flat above, that's me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Really enjoying it. Definitely gets better after the first episode. Some of the accents are questionable though. Hoping Stephen gets some credit for it because it’s so much better than anything that Ricky Gervais has done without him.
