Phoenix Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It ain't half hot, mum. Sacrificed by the BBC on the altar of the great god 'political correctness', and never repeated. The late Don Estelle was understanably bitter about it right up to his death, and said it was no way racist, and several of his Indian friends said how much they enjoyed it. In one obituary it stated, rather sadly, "However, in recent years Estelle cut a slightly sorry figure, dressed in his Lofty outfit, setting out a stall of his tapes and singing to passers-by in shopping centres." What a sad end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crux of it though is that it's not about the dragons etc,they are a peripheral matter...it essentially nicks parts of European history involving back stabbing,plotting,violence and sex and sets it into a mythical time and place instead...I thought I would hate its to be honest but it's really rather brilliant and fantastically well scripted and acted.

Being a full-on potty mouth the language did make me laugh. Surely the highest swear-count ever, The Commitments notwithstanding. I thought at one stage they were planning another series and I then read got shelved so I'd love it if they did do something to round it all off One of my favourite scenes was the writers' answer to the criticism of the swearing...the mayor (who was also great in Newhart) says something like "who knew they used such language in them olden days". Makes me laugh still, visualising that vacuous look he does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It left an indelible impression on me. I suppose the only thing that has come near (other than NCIS and ER) has to be ......... Line of Duty! I have the boxset of series 1-3 and hope to be able to re-live them shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Everybody Loves Raymond is a classic - so is Friends (the earlier the better - as soon as Monica and Chandler get together it all goes tits up. Brass eye was genius. Only fool's obviously - there's a few other classic English comedies that never get old. The first 2 or 3 series of 24 were gripping - as was homeland. I'm looking forward to exploring the masses of box sets I've heard good things about - peaky blinders, breaking bad etc. Just as soon as my many many children grow up and leave me the hell alone!!!
