Port Said Red Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Excellent finish, I love how Walken has embraced it and played up to his character, I also really like the girl that runs the Community Payback Scheme. Merchant writes excellent characters although I don't agree with the comment above about Ricky Gervais. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Really enjoyed it. As someone who's not lived in Bristol for a long while it was great to see the City showcased so well. Fun to explain some of the locations to the wife as well. Really enjoyed it. Does it need a second series though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clunes Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 I’ve visited a load of Outlaws locations for my Instagram page: it_happened_right_here I can always use a few more followers if you feel so inclined… I’ve also tracked down some Only Fools and Horses spots too among the hundreds of other places I’ve been (one of which was in the stadium car park) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Shout out for Sea Mills Community Centre, used in the Outlaws, and where I sang in a Gang Show when I was 8. I’m still traumatised when I think about it… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 My wife and I were laughing at the local news because they appeared to have picked the shortest reporter they could find to interview Stephen Merchant. The angle she was having to look up at to talk to him made her look like a toddler in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially liked Jess Gunning as Diane, but there was some strong performances all round, and it was a bt of a coup to get Christopher Walken involved.

I actually thought Rhianne Baretto as Rani was brilliant. Very talented actress. But you're right, Jess Gunning steals the show in many ways. Eleanor Tomlinson is v good too, playing a spoiled brat.

Merchant's story of going to Walken's house to pitch the idea would make a nice little short play in itself. He does actually seem to be one of life's eccentrics, rather than just acting like one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakoe Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Just finished series 1 (Been out of the country for some time) and thought it was brilliant. Very clever writing that gets you hooked and some cracking little one liners that could easily be a whoosh. Perfect mix of comedy and drama for me. Going to binge series 2 this weekend. Fun fact; my in-laws live opposite Sea Mills library and were paid 300 quid to have the cast's toilets set up on their drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Brilliant second series. The ending was superb. I hope there isn't another series. It has concluded wonderfully, with two strong series. It doesn't need ruining with a weak 3rd. And given Merchant's history, like with the office or extras, I think that'll be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, plus bringing that cast together again could be difficult, I think this is why they filmed it all pretty much back to back. The final episode was beautifully done and the final scene being played out to one of my favourite songs of all time (Knocked Up - Kings of Leon), just endeared me to the show even more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I binge watched it over the last few days I can't remember a program that had me laughing not only at the characters but also the script so much for ages Agree it needs to be left alone now, which is probably going to be hard as no doubt the BBC will be pushing for another series and the success of the show is continually growing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also need Walken in it no matter what.. he was the star Same here. Looking forward to it because I loved the last two. But at the same time a bit apprehensive that by the end of it I’ll wish they’d left it at two. I agree about Walken. But I’d be really sorry if any of them changed really. They were all great, and just made a perfect bunch together. Completely diverse in so many ways, but somehow it all came together in so many ways! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 I think the financial pressure will be on for them to make more shows so that the BBC can get more from distribution rights. With the watering down of the TV licence funds they need to do more of this, you might have noticed their shows popping up on Netflix? Certainly in America shows only tend to go to syndication when they have reached a number of episodes which triggers their commercial viability. The lowest figure for that seems to be around 60 shows, but there are exceptions, and other networks and streaming services use different criteria.

Port Said Red Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 I heard yesterday from someone who was part of the backroom team on the first two series that the third series takes place in London, currently there are no plans for filming in Bristol at all. Also, a little of additional interest for those who live in or visit Portishead Marina, the boat used in the first two series was the Viking which was moved into Bristol for a couple of weeks.

Shame that , could be because BCC have plans to demolish the community centre in Seamills to build social housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tho it was used less in series 2. They used the building on Pennywell road as police station iirc Is that the one Casualty used to use? Apparently lots of hospital workers never realised it was a set and used to moan about how it must be disruptive having them filming in a real hospital.
