Just finished that escape from dannemora. I enjoyed it (episode 6 aside, which is a back story episode), but it didn't quite reach the heights I was expecting. There were a lot of scenes I felt they were trying to be a bit Mike in better called Saul - long scenes, no words, he's doing some shit and you almost feel like you are there with him. It's captivating stuff on BCS but I didn't feel that here, probably because you're less committed to the characters and story line. And some of those scenes ended up just a little slow and boring. Over all it was good, but nothing special for me. 7/10 (excluding episode 6}

Hasn't it got another episode? I just saw episode 7,which was very good,but it looked like there was an episode 8 too.

I don't think so. Episode 7 was the last one although the one I watched was an hour and 40 mins long - maybe officially that's 2 episodes?

I watched that Bros documentary on the iPlayer last night. Quite entertaining but a few things that stood out.

 

1) I was about 10 when the came out and I thought they were shit even back then. Nothing has changed in the last 25 years, their music is utter garbage. Annoyingly, I’ve had “When Will I Be Famous” going round my head all morning.

 

2) I thought the drummer came across as an alright bloke actually. However, he tried waaaaay to hard to come across as an actual rocker with his cannabis sweat band and array of rock band (Green Day, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, RHCP) tshirts. Doesn’t matter what you wear mate, you’ll always be some cheesy shite boyband.

 

3) The singer has been to the far to many self help / spiritual guidance seminars. Toss pot.

I'm a bit torn on Escape from Dannemora. I thought the first episode was very promising, found the 2nd one boring and Barry Woms outlook after 7 episodes doesn't fill me with much desire to watch it all.

Is this worth watching on its own, if you have no interest in the band?

Watched about 10/15 minutes of it, the other night. Should have switched it off sooner, to be honest. Boring as fuck and the pair of them came across as total helmets.

The first episode of the Beeb's adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables with The Wire's Jimmy McNulty playing Jean Valjean. 

 

It was actually very good. Sept out of dix. Phil Collins' daughter is in it and she's a looker!

The drummer from Bros ended up owning Bristol City iirc.

I think you may be mistaking him for someone else. Just looked him up - Craig Logan - he left Bros as he developed M.E. and later started working behind the scenes with other musicians including Tina Turner, Paul McCartney and Pink among others.

 

No mention at all of owning Bristol City.

Just looked it up, it was the keyboard player, Scott Davidson.

He played keyboards for Bros and Pet Shop Boys? Quite a jump.

Yeah that’s him. 

 

Set up a free ads paper here and made a fucking fortune. 

 

City were shit under him. To be fair they’ve been shit for nearly 40 years though.

I have this in my sights. The trailers have looked good.

 

I could do with watching something that lives up to expectations

I can't tell if Lily Collins looks more like her mum or dad...

 

 

whereas Joely Collins really looks a lot more like her mum than her dad...

I thought so. As I said, I dislike the music intensely but I thought it was a decent show. 

 

They become more bareable as the show goes on.

So how did it finish at the end of episode 7 for you? It couldn't have been more finished to me! I can't imagine what part of the story is left to tell - although I don't know the story if you know what I mean?

To be honest I haven't started watching it yet! But the website I watch it on shows the dates that any subsequent episodes are due to air and it says Episode 8 premieres on January 7th.

The end of my episode had that bit they always do at the end of true stories "Billy the bellend went on to open a wet fish shop in Rotherham and has not been back to dannemora since" type of thing. As I mentioned before though, it was an hour and 40 mins, so could easily be 2 epsidoes bound into 1.
