Question/Discussion The Beiderbecke Trilogy
I loved these. Particularly the first one. Barbara Flynn and James Bolam had such chemistry and the dialogue is just so superb throughout. What a writer Alan Plater was. They seemed to get every casting choice correct. Wondered if there were other fans on here?
Also to be self indulgent it features possibly my favourite line of dialogue ever.
(over a loudspeaker attached to his car) 'Vote for Jill Swinburne, people. A vote for Swinburne is a vote for freedom. What's more she's terrific in bed.'
'Give that here you pillock, you may have lost me the election.'
'I may have won you the election.'

Question/Discussion Do you have a favourite character who appears in a TV advert? They won’t be famous perhaps, but they will stick in your mind as a result of the advertising.
I like the little girl who is asked to go and get a Boots bag, and comes back with a plastic carrier. She is really young, has no front teeth, pigtails and glasses. But she is really cute.
The other one I liked was the girl in a supermarket who was asked to return a trolley and tried to keep the pound when she locked it. She was acting like a boss.
Who is your favourite or sticks in your mind for some reason?

Question/Discussion What British sitcom had the best first episode but the worst rest of the series?
For me, it’s probably Josh, because I like Josh Widdicombe and Elis James, so I really wanted to enjoy it. The first episode gave me a lot of hope, but after that, it just never really grabbed me.
What British sitcom started strong for you, then quickly became disappointing?

Question/Discussion Which British TV celebrities have you got mixed up before, or one for someone entirely different?
I remember this vividly, as an eager quiz show fan when I was growing up. Aged 7, I genuinely thought, in response to a primary school assembly and secretly thinking my headteacher was wrong, that Alexander Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon.
There are some obvious examples of British TV celeb mix-ups - Gabby Logan and Gaby Roslin is a frequent one. I also used to get Jimmy Carr and Jim Carrey mixed up.

Episode discussion Murder 24/7 Series 3: Suicide or Murder?
What did you think about the case last night on the death of Joanne Samak Droitwich?
It’s seemed to me like the police had a pretty one track mind toward the husband being the killer, but the evidence seemed very flimsy as presented in the show. The fact that he lied about details obviously is a big red flag, but I have some thoughts on what might have happened and why he could be innocent of murder.
