    as well as lack of talent...this is why i wouldn't be a actor, i couldn't act out these horrific things, fictional ones would be bad enough but actually being associated something real and reasonably recent?.....nope

    And why does a program/film even need to be made about this? Who the fuck wants to watch 'A day in the life of a creepy enabled paedophile'?

    Coogan has said that he had to think very long and hard about doing this. My guess is that the script is more about the coverup than the man character scum himself. In that respect it is good to publicise how this should never happen again.

    Finished Four Lives (BBC) about serial killer Stephen Port and the associated police cock-ups. Enjoyed it (if "enjoyed" is the word) but got the slight impression it was a bit of a hatchet job in places

    Stephen Marchant was outstanding as Stephen Port - brilliant acting..

    Yeah I was getting a bit cynical about the program and getting annoyed, thinking the Roz wouldn't be nearly that bad and it was ridiculous - but apparently it's pretty close to the truth, which is fucked up.

    One thing that really annoyed me though was them calling it a hate crime.

    Yep. Read up about the case and the incompetence of the Police was astonishing and was pretty accurately portrayed. Just a pity the BBC tried to turn it into some sort of gay-rights drama in parts.

    @victor-meldrew we can never really know, but it just seemed like outrageous laziness and malaise on the police's part, nor because the victims were gay.

    I find it hard to believe that Port was committing hate crime.

    Well, it wouldn't be a BBC drama if there wasn't hate crime as part of the plot...

    Watching Hornby: A Model World - about the model-train, aircraft and Scalextric maker.

    Goes thru all the stages of designing a new model locomotive, manufacturing, marketing sales and making sure it grows the company. The amount of tech involved in getting the detail right is really high and leading edge (they developed their own mini-loudspeakers to get the train sounds right).

    Quirky, fly-on-the-wall, lots of tech, historical research, interesting business aspects and surprisingly few nerds. Really enjoyable and we all like toys...

    I am not enjoying Bibba Fett.

    Sad. Because I really liked The Mandalorian.

    Will finish it though.

    Just seems all a bit 2D and obvious.

    yeah...not what i was expecting or hoping for, plays into all the thing i dislike about the movies, whats so fucking special about tatooine?

    the fact its so quickly caught up with where we found him in the Mandalorian makes me think this might not be multiple seasons, might just be telling this specific story of how he got from where we saw him in RotJ to where we met him in the mandalorian

    After Life

    Watched it all in one sitting and pretty “meh” after the first couple of seasons. Definitely not a show with a long shelf life. The quirky characters all stopped being funny at once.

    I’d say it’s done for good now.

    the wife said pretty much the same thing last night whilst watching, getting a bit "little britain" with the over the top side characters getting their own stories but because they're their stories then they seem even more full on rather than little snippets as they interact with Ricky

    didn't finish the episode we started last night
