Placebo.... Page 2

No that's Emma Pierson who spells her name wrong... now only if it was Peirson.

Whose that. A sex kitten?

No - rhyming slang.

I pretty much agree with what has been said, the apple bit was great but the rest a bit lame.

I didn't see any adverts for this at all and struggled to find it on iplayer, they can't of got much viewers for it. Bit strange.

Decent cast and a nice premise. 5/10.

Do you think in 100 years I will be known as a great philosopher. Like Freud & Karl Marx?

Do you Marc?

yes.

I bet one day people will be admiring your bust in the British Museum.

You'll be thought of like Emma Freuds.

Rolling eyes

Doh! Just got that. Emma Freuds/hemmorhoids.
:D

Or Nobby Stiles.

Shouldn't this be in the sitcom section since it's a sitcom?

I thought it was okay, although I did alternate between watching it and Dr Tanya Byron talking about sex on BBC2, so I missed the apple bit. Also there's a guy on the BBC Writersroom blog getting himself into quite a state over this show.

saw that lol.

Well spotted chip. I've moved it now.

Well spotted indeed Chippy, go to the head of the class - and also refrain from bringing up the Trendy name in threads that do not involve Trendy.

I like to think all threads involve you in some way, Trendy.

Really not sure what to make of this one. Good premise and some interesting characters, but it couldn't decide if it wanted to be surreal or not. Just didn't gel. Needs to be one way or the other, can't swap between the two depending on which characters are on screen.

Promising, but needs some work if it's to progress.

Personally, I just wish Maxine Peake'd go back home to Shameless--she was effing brilliant as Veronica. (And Veronica was such a good character.)

I thought placebo was ok and pretty funny, but because it relied so much on cock gags and the like, there wasn't any re-watch value. At all.
