Inverurie Ram Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 If you didn't watch Early Doors in 2003. Treat yourselves to Series 1 Episodes 1 & 2 on bbciplayer. (or Episode 1 below ignore the Boro logo on it) Episodes 3 & 4 on BBC4 tonight at 10:50pm and other episodes (5 & 6) same time on Saturday nights going forward. Series 2 to follow (6 Episodes) then hopefully a new Series 3 to follow. To the Regiment..............

Jimbo Ram Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Extremely funny but it’s quality was you grew to love the characters…..one minute you would be laughing your head off and the next have a tear in your eye. Brilliantly written. Like Fawlty Towers, just the 2 series and 12 episodes ? therealhantsram, Anag Ram, darren22 and 3 others 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Following recommendations on here we finished all of the Strike series on iPlayer this weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed it & series 5 was brilliant IMO. I hadn't seen Tom Burke before, so I didn't realise he doesn't actually have a missing leg. sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a gamer it's probably my favourite piece of media ever. If you're not a gamer then you probably think Pac Man and Mario. This show will let people see how games now are capable of stirring emotions. The Last Of Us Part I is covered by this series. They stay pretty faithful too according to all sources. The Last Of Us Part II is brilliant but also one of the most depressing miserable games of all time. To the point where you wonder if it's actually "fun" to play. I hope everyone enjoys the series though. Can't wait to tune in tonight. From the man who brought us Chernobyl (the show, not the nuclear meltdown) I think the franchise will attract lots of new fans and maybe inspire a few to pick up a game!

Only vaguely modern game I've played was Tiger Woods. Think I was good at that because you have time to set the controls and work out exactly what you need to do, then set yourself to do it, if that makes sense? Tried playing a zombie one - Resident Evil? - but got couldn't even get through the first screen as I kept running into walls instead of around them so was munched within seconds every time. Hugely amusing for my mates, not so much for me ?? As for the show, I'd give anything Pedro Pascal appears in a go as he chooses his parts very well. Little bit of trivia from IMDB for you... Gustavo Santaolalla, the music composer for video games The Last of Us (2013) and The Last of Us: Part II (2020), was brought on to compose the series soundtrack. Enjoy the show!

I have been playing Last of Us part2 for nearly 2 years now. It is so dark and miserable I really struggle to play it for long before I need something light! I have only just got past the half way point I think. It is incredible but so intense I do question how much I actually enjoy it yet the story and gameplay is worth the effort.

I got it on release, cus I'm a fangirl, played about 2/3 of it then stopped due to how I felt and how the game didn't help. I can't even tell you it cheers up. It's a kick in the nuts constantly. I'm glad I finished it because it's a story you need to experience if you have any fascination for the post apocalyptic genre. And after the magnificent part I you feel like you need to see the story through. That's further imprinted by how Part II begins. But it's controversial for good reason. The most reviewed game in history I think? And subject to heavy review bombing. By the end of it I think you'll be invested in the story more for a Part III. So it's not 'bad'. But yeah, a miserable tale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the music on the game is a heart breaker itself. The music is like a character alone. Definitely give the show a go. The reviews are brilliant and from gamers perspective they seem to be saying "nailed it". The Part I and Part II versions come with so much accessibility options that registered blind people have played them. (This doesn't include the original 2013 release) You surely are at least more coordinated with a control pad than a blind person? Surely?? Gotta be?? ?

Mr. P Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Last Of Us started last night HBO/Sky Atlantic. Thought it was excellent. Video game to tv shows don’t usually work, but this has started brilliantly. Loved the game too. Alph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Adding my +1 for Early Doors, started my rewatch on Saturday night and I think it’s better than I remember, the characters are a lot more nuanced aside Phil and Nige. Finally started Gomorrah last night after putting it off for years and I’m absolutely hooked after two episodes. Also, Winterwatch starts tonight and that’s worth the license fee alone.

If you enjoy Gomorrah (as I did), I recommend you also watch Subarra, Blood on Rome. I don’t think it quite reaches the heights of Gomorrah but still an excellent series IMO.

Pedro Pascal is perfectly cast - he even looks like Joel from the game IMO. And Bella Ramsey (Lyanna Mormont of Game of Thrones fame) is brilliant as Ellie, even if she doesn't look like her games' sake. Roll on episode 2.
