Merzbow Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 A terrorist attack is the next big thing, surely. Sam Dingle goes away for a few months after finding this new thing called the internet and comes back wanting to be called Iqbal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted July 27, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 I would imagine it would start off with Sam bemoaning how Muslim's are persecuted in this country over pints of Ruddle's Best in The Woolpack. This is before he kidnaps Eric Pollard with a bunch of men dressed in balaclavas, causing the character to be written off the following week after Paddy Kirk powerbombs him out of a barn.

Mr_Danger Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Isn't that Indian fella shaping up to be the new Dick Hillman? They've even drafted in Dougie to help progress the angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted July 27, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 Turns out you're right Keith: He also appeared in a number of Swedish sex films in the 1970s including Swedish Sex Games (aka The Intruders and Let Us Play Sex) in 1975 (which also featured a young Stellan Skarsgård), and Sex in Sweden and Practice Makes Perfect (aka Girl on Her Knees) in 1977. If his stage name wasn't 'Eric Bollard' I will be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted July 27, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 I caught an episode of Emmerdale on the TVs in the gym the other day, and Caine Dingle looks like he’s aged 25 years in the past ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted July 27, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 Only soft porn, I'm afraid. In an interview he referred to them as "tit and bum films". That said, he does need to evolve into a Leslie Phillips style, smooth talking, dapper lothario for his final run. Ideally one who laughs while twirling his moustache afterwards.

The Gaffer Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 It's been yeaaaars since I've watched Emmerdale. I'd totally check it out right now though because 99 ECW was great and we recently got freeview in the living room and we all tend to be congregated around soaps time. Checked out a few EastEnders last week - usually my favourite - and found it unwatchable. It's a bit like WWE in 1995 when a load of randomers and hangabouts like Mabel were doing things way above their station whilst Bret was fighting the pirate in the dark match of The IYH: Give Me My Jacket Back. There was a bunch of sad old people I didn't recognise, a disabled shop stall snarkster who seems to be holding up most of the shows workrate and you had young guns like Billy's kid standing around looking way more prominent than they ought to be whilst heavy hitters like Phil are just sitting about slowly dying. What's Corrie like these days? Corrie's almost always boring but usually more pleasant to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted July 27, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 EastEnders is early 90's AWA, but with ratings. You're just watching it for all of the old stars who are way past their prime. Dot Cotton, Patrick Trueman, Phil Mitchell, Baron von Raschke. I haven't been into it since Phil became a smack-head over the course of a single weekend and they illustrated this by having him in a smoke-filled flat, listening to The Who and wearing a beanie hat.

The last great boom, really. That and Archie's brilliant reign of terror. I wish they dragged it out for a couple of months but if I recall it only lasted a few weeks, ending in the Vic fire with my all time greatest moment of Billy shouting "you need help, Phil!" into a locked up, cold turkey Phil only for Phil to squak back "what I need Billy... is crack". Upon which point he busts out of the door Shining style, runs to the kitchen and downs an entire litre of vodka. Imagine the lot of us fantasy booking a Corrie/'Stenders Invasion angle having all the top talent at our disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted July 27, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thank you for reminding me about that scene Butch. I think it's the primary school photo grin that makes it with that scene. I would legitimately buy a 3-disk 'Phil Mitchell: The Legacy Collection' or whatever the fuck it is that WWE used to do after people had been put in the Hall of Fame. Disk 1: Documentary about Phil Mitchell, charting his rise, fall, rise, fall, rise, fall, rise and fall in EastEnders. Talking head interviews with Bepe DiMarco, Barry and Mike Graham. Tales of Phil away from Albert Square, including a segment with me, where I talk about vomiting in a club that Phil used to own in Salisbury.
