SuperBacon Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just rewatched first episode of Game On. First 10 minutes: Upon learning who Mandy’s going on a date with, Matt remarks “But Mandy, he’s black” 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted August 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I had a bit of an IMDB dive on My Family this morning and discovered that Kevin Bishop, who played the daughter's love interest for a few episodes, also starred as Jim Hawkins in Muppet Treasure Island. That has blown my mind considering MTI is my favourite Muppet movie. Edited August 30, 2019 by Accident Prone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the correction. I was only 11 ish I think at the time. I know I watched the first series, but didn't watch it again since the move to BBC 1. I wonder why they dropped it and let it move over? "EDIT" Just saw it was due to the Thames franchise losing out to Carlton for ITV Weekdays and they moved production. I knew there was a US Version as well, but didn't realize a pre Breaking Bad Anna Gunn was the love interest in the first episode .

wordsfromlee Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I recently rewatched Men Behaving Badly on Netflix for the first time since I saw them on TV. Some of it really doesn’t hold up well at all in this day and age. In the second series there’s a whole episode about Gary worrying that his new flat mate, Tony, is actually gay.

Is American Men Behaving Badly as bad as the American line for line remake of Coupling? Edited August 30, 2019 by jazzygeofferz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yeah I rewatched Men Behaving Badly recently and you forget how desperately unlikable Gary is....but that's the point and it works. Still, a lot of the stuff is very dated. I had forgotten the 90s obsession with saying 'knickers' and 'shag' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I remember a scene from Birds of a Feather where Sharon was lying down on the floor, trying to put some jeans on. And one where Dorian kept saying the word “tryst.” I don’t remember anything about Kiss Me Kate other than the lead was Caroline Quentin, the middle-class Pauline Quirke... and it was set in an office (was she a psychiatrist?) and I really, really fancied Amanda Holden in it.

I don't think as bad as Coupling though. I only saw clips but looked awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, i'd forgotten about Amanda Holden in Kiss Me Kate, she used to enter my thoughts often as a young lad. I think I was obsessed with her for a short time. If I was 12 again now I doubt i'd even flinch at that as i'd probably only get off on hardcore latex double anal or whatever young lads search for these days.

Are you getting partially mixed up with Office Gossip? Because Pauline Quirke was in that, but not in Kiss Me Kate, and the aforementioned Daniela Denby-Ashe was also in Office Gossip, and was the only reason I suffered through it.

No, he's saying it was Caroline Quentin, who is the middle-class Pauline Quirke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
