I misworded it, what I should have mentioned was the hijacking of the word "gay".
I can't remember who said it now, but he/she said her mother used to call them "one of the unfortunates"

You can imagine what they thought (laughed, but then the Yanks will laugh at anything) if I said I was going to eat some faggots for dinner

Absolutely heartbreaking.
I watched all four episodes last night. Great stuff, and I'm sure it'll clean up at the awards shows.
I thought they left themselves open for a sequel with his repeated claims of innocence and the focus on his friend (he ran from the police and looks a lot like Jamie, so maybe they switched clothes?) but I hope Netflix can resist the opportunity to make a pile of easy money.

I think the way they played it, the video evidence was incontrovertible.
And the team behind it are smart enough to resist .
Any project they now come up with will be immediately green-lit.
No need to re-hash.

I've lost track of what TV show you're all talking about.

Adolescence.
Not, as might be construed, "Shit food from the '70's"

Oh right. I looked back and thought it was White Lotus.
Maybe I'll give it a go.

A hard watch.

Pardon us if we have a different conversation.
And even I don't keep food for 50 years before I eat it so I don't know where the 70s comes into it. Nor, for that matter, where "shit food" comes into it.

Neil and Martin's Bon Voyage. Men behaving badly version of Bob and Paul fishing. Great laughs.
Drinking wine at a vineyard Clunes said he had a bit of a Semillon.

1950 B&W British classic - absolutely my cup of tea and more. A boy and girl school have to share the same building in the sticks with Alastair Sim and Margaret Rutherford as opposing school heads, along with Joyce Grenfell as the gym mistress and various comedy faces from that period.
Oh my goodness, sheer delight.
Was on TPTV again today, and just had to watch as it was such a good film - Alastair Sim perfect and Joyce Grenfell so, so funny as the galumphing Gossage "Just call me sausage"
Love it
Browsing box sets on various platforms, I came across 'The Lovers.
I thought it was the Paula Wilcox - Richard Beckinsale one 'Geoffrey bubbles bon bon
But no. It's a modern one about an English TV presenter meeting a shop-working girl in Belfast.
I gave it 10 minutes and nearly turned over but it just managed to hook me in time.
Probably because Roisin Gallagher is very attractive and her character is rough, abrasive and honest.
It's a comedy drama where, at times, the comedy is really laugh out loud funny
