    Not if it bothers you. Besides if it’s successful it’s not trying is it? I even gave you some suggestions as to why she was. Stop being a pleb.

    Doesn't really bother me as such.  I also said "trying" as I didn't want to give you full credit for something.  At least you kinda admit that you're a prick

    Porridge (1979) (BBC iPlayer)

    Feature length spin-off, set a year before the final episode of the TV series. Fletcher and Godber accidentally find themselves caught up in a prison escape attempt. Whilst many 1970s comedies struggled on being transferred to the big screen, this isn’t one of them.

     

    The Porridge film is cracking, I think I watch it everytime it's shown.

    Now the Rising Damp film was fucking dire. It was basically the script of 3 episodes thrown together with the awful Christopher Strauli taking the place of Beckinsale's character.

    Chubby Brown is a weird one, because he's managed to have this weird alternate universe fame - he never had a TV series, I don't think he ever really had any TV specials, and when he did guest on anything was usually exposed as being a bit shit. When mainstream TV would have accepted his bigotry, he was too sweary, and when they would have accepted his swearing he was too much of a bigot. He also suffered from what most of his generation of working men's club comics did, in that he relied on the same routine for years, so whenever he did get on TV, it meant you heard it all and there was no point going to see him live.

    Yet somehow he managed to sell out major venues for years, and always had a video out for Christmas. One of my older brothers was a big fan when I was a kid. Given how stand-up these days is such a TV-oriented business, it's mad to think how successful he's been without it. It's not like Jim Davidson where he had a dual career of being a fairly innocuous prime time TV host while producing his inexorable offensive videos - the videos were all he had. Baffling.

    Also released UFO The Movie in 1993.  I remember it being shown on Sky Movies or The Movie Channel at least twice a week for a while during '94.

  4. For those wondering, Young Rock begins on 17th Sep on Sky Comedy.  As all episodes from Season 1 have already aired in the US, they'll probably add the complete season on demand.

  5. Just noticed they've added the boxset of The Thin Blue Line on the iPlayer.  This was probably the last decent sitcom to have Ben Elton's name attached to it.

    Also thought David Haig was great in this.

    The WWE is skating on thin ice really, fine those TV deals are worth mega millions but there is zero momentum behind that company, literally every other promotion seems more interesting atm. 

     

     

    That's the point, the money is already in the bank. They don't give a fuck.
