I avoided Fleabag because based on what I heard about it I decided I didn’t want to watch a programme about someone about my age whose problem involved just having too much darn sex. But based on Killing Eve I might have to re-evaluate that choice.

Fleabag and Killing Eve are both great, Waller-Bridge is a real talent. I found out the other day that there will be a second series of Fleabag, which I didn't expect but is cool Weirdly the other show she wrote and starred in (Crashing) is pretty bad though

I thought Killing Eve was fantastic, right up until the last couple of episodes where I thought they lost their focus a bit. Maybe I just binged it too much though.

I'd dismissed Bodyguard after episode two, but went back to it after hearing the spoiler for episode three, and have to say it's gotten a lot better since the focus changed.

Writing an assassin character seems like a natural evolution for her, since Fleabag has the same psychopathic tendencies.

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:This isn't an Aiden Gillen in Game Of Thrones situation where his accent can change multiple times during the same speech is it? Well, I've watched five episodes so far and he's had a go at generic RP, generic Scottish, generic Welsh and generic northern with a trace of generic Irish. I remember watching Wire In the Blood when it was on and I don't recall him going back and forth like he seems to be here. On the whole, I don't dislike this series, but coming off ploughing through Cracker and Prime Suspect in succession immediately before it makes for a big step down. Paul Abbott as a writer but he's not developed the characters especially well and none of them has the sort of intrinsic distinctiveness they need to let him get away with it. Obviously Robbie Coltrane and Helen Mirren are actors who can really command the screen whenever they're on it. Clearly Robson Green is supposed to do so and based on Wire In the Blood I think he's capable of doing it but I don't think he's given the material for it here. Abbott's good, but he's not Jimmy McGovern or Lynda LaPlante either.

I went to see League of Gentlemen live in Blackpool and it was really good. Some new stuff, some old. All great. Apart from them doubling down on their transphobia, that was really sad and sort of distressing. I feel like people will watch that stuff back in 30 years (if there are any people then) and cringe like you do now if you watch Bernard Manning or whatever.

Bodyguard So Julia was dead after all. Enjoyed the suicide vest tension and it was filmed well, but there are less fancy ways to kill someone and frame them. Nadia twist was utter bollocks. Based on the monologuing and overly elaborate schemes Doctor Evil was clearly the criminal mastermind behind it all.

Someone back when GoT started said that an easy way out of that would be for the character to modulate his accent depending on who he's talking to and I was always annoyed that they never did it. It would make perfect sense for that character. Also witness him in THE WIRE where he talks about being Baltimore born and bred but sounds like he belongs in Bada Bing!

I remember one of the newspapers had a big spread on the new Apprentice contestants years and years ago - it was the year they had the guy who always wore a silk dressing gown and slippers in the Apprentice house and I remember that because he was going all "I'm a terrific raconteur, peasants" and his big "I'm so awesome" boast was "Once asked Michael Heseltine a question when he was on Question Time... and wasn't satisfied with the answer.  "

How do they manage to consistently find the same group of horrifyingly deluded, narcissistic, psychopaths every year. You'd think a few normos would slip in now and then.
