Traitors NZ Season 2

After watching the USA version and it nearly ruining the format, we took a punt and watched the new NZ series. Absolutely brilliant stuff. You have to feel sorry for some of them in there but then.....you laugh instead.
 
I'm sure it's quite good but is it a better telly show than Shogun? I'm sure to some people it is but it just throws the whole rating system out for me.
It's not good, its the only way is essex for daily mail readers, unless the flabby necked tax dodger gets thrown in a combine harvester then it will continue to be overly scripted contrived tosh
 

The piper alpha doc on bbc earlier was frightening. The 'NRB' stuff wasn't a surprise, (Not Required Back) for blacklisting persons concerned enough to ask about safety. 167 dead. Remember it like yesterday.
3/3 just. A tory government couldn't find a way to bring a criminal case against a very big revenue generating, high wage paying industry.

Revelatory.
 
If not mentioned Freddie Flintoff new series on getting young lads & Girls this time from a bad background asking them if they wanted to give it a try to play Cricket & why no great cricketers do not emerge from Liverpool & Blackpool etc - he picked a deprived area of Bootle & they used Bootle cricket club as he had played there as a youngster in a visiting team - Bootle @chicoazul featured boy the area looked deprived - The Dingle where my relation lives looked like Hollywood compared to where they filmed - obviously there are good & bad areas even in good places , but this was way bad ...

There was a bit of poetic licence with the filming Joey, as there`s some okay parts of Bootle, like where the cricket club is, but they deliberately chose to film around the likes of Stanley Road, to give emphasis to the message of " these boys are from a deprived area ".

The lads are the real day though, full on Ninjas :lol:

Yes its a good series & yes they will make the area to suit the lads etc - more beeps than talking :D -

On about places - I was offered a job ages ago - when I was looking to move on at Buxton in the peak District - The temporary housing offered was an insult up in the hills above Buxton as bad as anywhere I have seen in Liverpool /Huyton area ...

Hence I declined the job offer - found out much later I had a near miss as it was a Tory council strapped for cash .... made the right choice I could just about to afford to live in Buxton when my house was sold etc - TBH I would have spent more time snow shifting - highest town in England beautiful in the summer etc ...

I`ve just come back from a weekend in the nearby Bakewell. ( beautiful place )

I think that`s where the money is around there Joey.

The League of Gentlemen was filmed in Hadfield in the Peak District and that`s ropey as hell.

I had a mate who I used to work with who used to play footy for Buxton - used to travel from Bootle a couple of times a week to train and every other week to play.

Quite often he`d have to stay overnight before a game if the weather was bad.
 
Put The Rainmaker on for the Mrs last , watched it with her.
Not bad at all tbh , but we do seem to have exhausted most series now.
10 episodes , watched 3 , not a Stella cast but good story and well acted.

Yes theres that, the alien thing, task & terminal list dark wolf that are just a few episodes in that im saving to binge.

Just finished PARADISE which is an easy watch and should have a season 2.

Not seeing many interesting new or returning shows so far this year.
