Cheers, mate :thumbsup:

I had high hopes myself...:doh:
Watched the 2hr pilot last night, very disappointing, the history of 70's rock music set against the backdrop of a run down 1973 NYC is interesting enough, without having to fabricate stuff.
At what point is it acceptable to create a fictional English Punk band 'The Nasty Bits' (some sort of pistols, clash, joy division idealised hybrid) touring NYC a full 4 years before UK punk arrived in NY...it's a bit disrespectful to the Ramones et al, who may have felt they initiated the movement in NY around '76.
As for the birth of hip hop...lets give that another 3 years too
R.E. the collapsing hotel, that happened with only the residents present, the New York dolls weren't even in the State at the time...
Messrs Jagger and Scorsese should have their respective artistic licenses revoked ;)
Master & Commander (2003) is on film 4 tonight at 18.25.... Superb naval drama starring Russell Crowe at his very best.. Superb film version of a superb series of books

Is it me or is this series rubbish ?
The story is totally unbelievable, where a hotel Manager becomes a mighty warrior in the mould of James Bond and does it, seemingly, overnight. His adversary is a comic book villain as per Blofeld or Goldfinger and is fooled into believing our hero is also a villain by means of a fight in a pub in the smallest village in the country.
What doesn't help me enjoy this is that at least 4 of the main characters are from various sitcoms, so I just can't take them seriously. It's as far removed from the brilliant Happy Valley as it can get.
Yes David, strange concoction if ever there was one. I'm afraid I have the same stance with Happy Valley though. It is just like Eastenders for thinking people and way too grim for me.
It's grim but more realistic for me and I can believe in the characters even though I have seen them in dozens of other series. With the Night Manager all I can see is the 'Rev' trying to act hard or 'Sir Percy' being a comic book villain.
Hi Will,
I acknowledge all that, but despite that, I'm still really enjoying the series, especially when a bit of Soprano-style gangster violence was brought into it, when that black singer (Lester) got beaten up, and when Richie and Joe Corso combine to murder Buck Rogers!
That, coupled with the cool '70s vibe', running through the show, means that I'm loving it. Looking forward to watching tonight's episode :cool:
Marco.
The Night Manager is typical 'spy thriller' tosh ... but actually we are quite enjoying it. The 'over night' transformation is no less believable than others given that the main character has a back story including active service in Iraq and a dad who was also a spy (well before he got drawn in by the murder in Cairo)
Yes - the actors are drawn from the pool of available British talent but that is hardly something new (and for once we don't get Helen Mirren, Judi Dench or Charles Dance wheeled out for yet another airing... let alone Cumbersnatch)
Its also well made with great locations, cinematography and acting by all concerned.
