Spot on.
I did watch the final three episodes in one evening, so I obviously didn't hate it that much.
Strange, but oddly compelling, and as you say, some very good performances.

Agree with you and Otis. I liked it. Done in a quirky way but as Otis mentioned that was to reflect their fantasist natures. Not for everyone but I’ve recommended it to a couple of people

If you're a fanboy (which I am), the new Spiderman film is fucking brilliant.

See it on the big screen as soon as possible.

Those of you musically bias might like the Phil Lynott doc on BBC 4 - very interesting look at his life - was a great character and fantastic writer of words and music
True story: My mother was Phil Lynott's favourite waitress.

Off to watch it tomorrow. Can’t wait.
What did you think?

I went to see it again today (I've got Odeon Limitless, so no cost issues for me).

It was like being at a pantomime, lots of cheering, booing and clapping.

I loved it (again).

Toast of London is on iplayer from today and the new series, Toast of Tinseltown, is on BBC 2 on 4th Jan.
That sounds great, presume he's taking advantage of a few American contacts since What We Do In The Shadows?

I thought they retired years ago and who really wants to be regaled with stories of Hank Marvin these days anyway?

Think it's an older documentary now, but watched a film the other week called Tread.
Don't remember the story or it being on the news at the time but it's absolutely mental.
Especially if you don't know what's about to happen

Untold story on Netflix, the episode on the hockey team, brilliant.
I believe in miracles, about Clough at Forest. Also on Netflix.
Class action park as mentioned above. Think its on the youtube as well as sky.
The dawn wall, Netflix, (make sure you watch right to the end).

If you like Dawn Wall Clint try Free Solo as well. Both unbelievable

Been watching "Bates Motel" over the last few weeks on the iPlayer. Really enjoyed it so far, other than some of the drug sub plots, think the actors playing Norma and Norman are cracking and their deteriorating relationship is played brilliantly. One season to go, however if anybody's already seen it, would appreciate a quick heads up in a spoiler...
The season 4 finale seems like a natural end to the story ... great finish with all the characters plots as good as tied up, you'd expect the next thing to be 10 years later and its the Psycho film story. I envisage the writers wanted to end it here, but may have cashed in to continue the story when it doesn't really need to. So is the final season worth watching? Don't want to watch it and spoil it for myself, if you see what I mean.

It was always intended as it brings the actual film into it. There are some adaptions to the film plot but Rihanna as Marion Crane is pretty good. It’s totally scripted this way so the Hitchcock classic is introduced. Though @vow may be disappointed

Thanks for the insight Gren...

I think Vera Farmiga has played a fantastic part and her dealings with her life, Norman, plus the other people who have come into the plot ... she's up and down, torn and loyal, it's been great to watch how her character has played out . If we're now limited to Norman's fantasies, I fear her character will seem a bit of let down. Just dealing with the plot through Normans eyes will surely be quite limited and not as much fun. But if they're including an adaptation of the film, I'll persevere as it'll be interesting to see how that's done. Cheers.
