It's one that will always be in my 'Keep' file. From that series Kenny Hotz stars in a series called 'Kenny vs Spenny'. Two best friends who face each other in wacky competitions and at the end of each one the loser has to do something humiliating. All seasons on Youtube.

I tried to watch it but found its representation of men as being childish/infantile as not just denigrating but unbelievable. It just seemed to have such a silly view of IT. There was not one likeable or believable character in the show. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all on YouTube. Although it had some special comedy gold moments it was on the whole pretty crass and tainted with the agony of canned laughter. It makes for uncomfortable viewing for me.

Exactly, it’s getting ridiculous now with posters complaining that a comedy, obviously exaggerating the stereotypical aspects of IT , is not true life !! Some posters should stick to documentaries, they are not cut out for humour !! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanuk711 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 The Staircase----HBO Crime 8 episodes --all out IMDB 7.3 Did she fall was she pushed. Has this been written up before? I couldn't see it. Court case(s) had been going on for years been on 48 hours/Dateline/Dr Phil etc. Anyway I decided to look because like Toni Collette acting. If you dont know the ending---its an OK Look ----------------- Tells the story of Michael Peterson, a crime novelist accused of killing his wife Kathleen after she is found dead at the bottom of a staircase in their home, and the 16-year judicial battle that followed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That did make me laugh, especially the 1st call, I kid you not I once got a call from the E-Commerce director at Barclays Stockbrokers to say the code I’d written was printing upside down… After much scratching of my head (mainly around how the hell could I write code that would print upside down) I realised… They’d put the letterhead stationary in the printer the wrong way round Sorry I’m conscious of the fact that we (I’m) well OT now, maybe we need an IT “War Stories” Thread ????

xylophone Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Thought I would have a go at watching the series on BBC iPlayer called, "The Responder" with Martin Freeman as it has been highly rated but.......couldn't be bothered to finish even the first episode because for me the Liverpudlian accent made it very difficult to understand, so I switched over to one of their other series (documentary) with Neil Oliver going over the history of ancient Britain, which I did like!!

Thanks for the feedback Mike, however it wasn't just MF's Scouse accent, it was just about every Scouse accent, and I don't want to have to work that hard to understand what's going on. Anyway, as I said I really enjoyed the doco on ancient Britain and although Neil Oliver is a Scot, it's not a broad accent and he speaks very clearly so I understood every word! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proton Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Billy the kid series was worth a watch, if not historically very accurate. Strange how westerns fell out of fashion, they were on TV all the time in the 60/70's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry X… I grew up in Warrington so am used to the scouse accent but can see how it could grate on people (mine isn’t better as people often mistake me for a Manc).., If you enjoy British documentaries then you might want to try this one… Have to say I didn’t but didn’t regret spending the time to watch it Edited June 11, 2022 by Mike Teavee 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how westerns fell out of fashion, they were on TV all the time in the 60/70's Yes I thought it was pretty good, and am waiting for the next few episodes to drop so that I can continue watching. What I did find interesting was the correlation between some characters in this series and some in the "Young Guns" film, namely: the lawyer named McSweeney, John Tunstall, the baddie, Murphy, and a couple of scenes, especially one where Billy the Kid removes a few bullets from another gunfighters gun so he has the edge on him. These could be fact or just being copied from other movies?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original documentary was far better, and the "murderer" wasn't a very likeable character at all, quite the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
