I recently watched a couple of clips on Youtube and it got me thinking into how bizarre this programme was. Going on national Television to show off your privates to the Country.
It was really part of that era of British Television that pushed boundaries I suppose.
DI Frost - He’s as stubborn as a mule and someone who won’t back down from his hunches, it also helps that he’s an actual detective. It could take plenty of shouting matches but he will get his man eventually.
Isa Drennan - She’s not a detective but she is the next best thing, a gossip. When there’s a story worth telling she gets to the bottom of it, so I reckon in one day she would have everyone’s alibis figured out and have broken the Traitors’ will.
Father Doogal - He doesn’t have the intelligence or the tenacity as the first two, but what does he have? Stubbornness. He will go around just asking everyone “Are you sure you’re not a Traitor” all day everyday until someone eventually snaps.
Alison Hammond (the actual person) - Who wants to be known as the sad Traitor prick that killed Alison?
Rewatching this show after 10 years. What a fantastic piece of TV this is. Stylish, smart, funny, doesn't take itself too seriously. We know the structure of the episodes, and yes, it's repetitive, but for someone like me, once I'm hooked, I love the fact that I know what to expect but not how to expect it.
Is there anybody else a fan? I must say Adrian Lester is FANTASTIC and S4 without him suffered. Otherwise, there are some absolutely fantastic episodes across every series. Doesn't it just make you fall in love with the idea of london being a metropolis for opportunity?
And look, I'm a fan of high quality drama, and theatre etc but I also watch eastenders as a guilty pleasure lol so yeah hustle is a bit corny at times but it winks at the audience rather than lectures them and I love that.
Watching the new season, and just everybody has a sad backstory that they Have to divulge during their first date. It feels a bit forced, reminds me of xfactor
This beautiful place is stunning and the ident is one of the most iconic from my childhood with the hay bales clear as day making a 4 with one on fire. Just want to know where this was filmed. Lmk if you have a n idea
All I remember about the trailer that I saw a few months ago was that there is a Middle Aged blonde woman In it and the man looked quite old aswell, I thought it was Adrian Dunbar but it’s not him. I think they are detectives or police officers I can’t remember. I also think I saw the trailer on channel 5 star but I might be wrong about that, can anyone help me find it?
I will preface this by saying that these are my thoughts purely based on the first episode so I'm not going to cast aspersions on the entire show but I thought that this was...shite. Who is this show even aimed at? It's shown on TV at 6:40PM which means families can watch it but it's full of really adult jokes that felt too much for younger people, including innuendo on the c-word and there's an extended scene where adults stand around and watch a 15 year old make out with a pumpkin, it's all very strange. Idk how much of it is based on the book but I can't imagine Morcambe writing this kind of stuff. I also don't know how Rob and Neil Gibbons have the complete inability to write anything good outside of Alan Partridge. I don't think Lenny Rush is a particularly good actor in this, he gets the comedy down pretty well but outside of that he's just ok but I'll be honest, nobody else is that good in this either. I was going to give it another episode but I think I'll stop now as I'm really not enjoying it, I guess it's just not for me. Would like to hear your thoughts on it.
Just because it's been bugging me for years: does anyone remember an advert, or maybe an advert for a TV show, that had the line 'we are the sons of the sons of the sons...' (not sure how many repetitions)?
I remember a line of men/people, a powerful male voice, and a kind of historical or battle related feel.
British TV in the late 80s or early 90s.
Edit: solved!
Hello,
I am searching for a kids TV series that I vaguely remember coming across as a child. It aired in ABC 3 in around 2011 and I believe it might have been British, given the actor’s accents (however I was young at this time, so I might be off).
The TV series was live action and featured two young white boys. I believe it was mostly set in around their home, where they were up to no good.
The most notable/ distinctive part of the TV show that I can remember is that in the title card, there was a crudely drawn picture of the two boys in blue/green scrubs (as if depicting them as doctors or surgeons) and I believe they where around an operating table and (holding?) snakes. The background to this title card was white.
One of the only scenes I remember about the show is both boys running between the back yard and the home while a girl older than them (an older sister presumably?) was yelling at them.
The show did not have any supernatural/fantasy elements. It was popular enough that sometime between 2011-2012 ABC 3 gave it a weekly(?) mini marathon in the early evening. (However I do not think it was one of those more mature shows that aired before programming ended for the night).
If anyone knows this show or even if the title card I am describing sounds familiar (so I know I am not crazy), please let me know. I have absolutely searched the internet for it and have found nothing.
I feel like the show gave the same energy as ‘the Revenge Files of Alister Fury’, however after seeing the intro for this show, I do not think this is it, as it does not have the drawn doctors/snakes.
The show was NOT ‘Operation ouch’,’ ‘Dani’s Home/Castle’, ‘The Legend of Dick and Dom’, ‘Outnumbered’, ‘Young Dracula’, ‘Horrible science’, ‘Jinx’, ‘Sadie J’, ‘my almost famous family’, ‘My Life As Popart’, ‘The Gilbert Boys’ or ‘The Revolting World of Stanley Brown’.
Thanks ☺️
