TV Series

Wolcott - 1981

Largely forgotten police drama mini-series based on a newly promoted black detective's investigations into the local drug trade and it's overlaps with his local Jamaican community.

Bit rough around the edges given it's UK made TV from 1981 but the story and characters are good with the notable exception of Warren Clarke's underwritten character who comes off as something pulled from an abandoned Sweeney/Professional ripoff and an annoying reporter who seems only to be there to serve as a Greek Chorus and convenient McGuffin when needed.

Very strong language and definitely doesn't pull it's punches with the dialogue or the bleakness of the story. Some surprising appearances from comedians of the time and a scene with Aswad playing a club gig as well.

Not aware of any legitimate streams but it can be had pretty cheap on a barebones BluRay release. Also, possibly less legitimately, all 4 episodes are up on Youtube if you want to go hunting for a bit of TV history with thematical similarities to a lot of slick streaming TV now but very different production values.
 
Most successful band in history is a bit of a stretch there are some huge bands who are still releasing music after 40years together and still selling out stadiums, as I say massively overrated for me, nowhere near the most successful band.
Wash your mouth out T.

Oh I forgot, you can't at the moment can you.?

By the way mate. They are the most successful in terms of album/record sales. They may not be the best, that's down to individual choice. But they were prolific and in their day every bit as influential as the likes of The Pistols and Nirvana were in our era.
 
This looks baaaaaaaad


Doesn't look the best.
Really struggling with Marvel at the moment. Seems like it is trying to cater to separate groups. Here is your horror, here is your teen stuff, this one is for the girls etc etc.
Seems, there is no coherent plan.
Scarlett witch and Kang seems to be the focus for the films and then on the side,
I am assuming we are building to the young avengers. Don't think I can be that bothered really. Pick one and go with it.
Sorry rant over.

Just wait till you watch Ms Marvel
 
What's happened to Better Call Saul?
Gone totally random these last few episodes. Maybe just me but can't fathom out what's going on.
Yeah thought that myself, it’s really slowed down over the last 2 episodes after quite a solid start

But, it’s going for mid-season break next week so I’d imagine it’ll leave it on a cliff edge then when it restarts should be full speed

Still ace like

Ah. I thought the break was last night. The next episode needs to be a solid one.
I've honestly lost track of the thread of the plot.
