Davefevs Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 In fairness any other of these types of detective series, location irrelevant! Plot, person murdered (Nige sacked), murderer (new manager). As the programme progresses we get introduced to a series of new characters (new manager rumours), all with something that could make them the murderer (new manager). We buy into their likelihood of being the murderer too, until the next character is introduced, and son on and so forth, until all is revealed and it’s someone who we’ve barely seen, let alone any reason why they might be the murderer (new manager). This last couple of days feels a bit like this. Even so, do we get the Ben Miller, Kris Marshall, or Ralf Little unveiling? I discount Ardal O’Hanlon, I can’t look past him being Father Dougall! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Does Jon plays the bumbling police officer who never gets anything right? Or perhaps he plays the autistic child who provides the police with clues via his drawings with crayons?

CliftonCliff Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 As long as the denouement consists of the slimy evil owner being unmasked as the real villain and banged up for life, with his son and accomplice also given a lengthy spell of community service, coupled with a life ban from ever holding office in any football club again, I don't much care what TV soap you base it on or who's in the cast. What we've actually got at the moment is something more akin to Some Mothers Do Have 'Em, with wall-to-wall farce, but minus the laughs, and with JL as the hapless Frank Spencer. You'd have to come up with a far more sinister parallel for SL himself, though: I can't think of one devious and dangerous enough off the top of my head at the moment.

George Rs Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Doesn’t that mean SL plays the detective looking for the murderer (new manager) though? If so I don’t know what poor Ben Miller has done to deserve that comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
