The second season of Bloodline is now on Netflix--a great show, dripping with southern gothicism. This season features John Leguizamo and Andrea Riseborough. . .interesting to see such a proper English girl transformed into good ol' American trailer trash!
I lost track of this, maybe I'll start again.
I can't believe how many American programmes use British actors for American characters.
I've just finished 'Billions' and again Damien Lewis is playing an American.
- Evans is annoying and just doing an impression of Clarkson
- The show with Clarkson, Hammond and May was just funny and a perfect combination of cars and comedy
- Le Blanc and Evans have zero chemistry
- The wacky stuff (going to Blackpool in reliant robins) have no purpose - in the previous show, they would do stuff with intentions
- The show is too much like the old show
- The star guests look like they don't want to be there
- The audience look like they've been invited for free, rather than aurally wanting to go and see it
Evans said he be happy with 5 million viewers, so far ( rightly or wrongly ) the first
show of the new Top Gear got just over 4 million, the second ( which I thought was
better ) got 3 million.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I'm Alan Partridge has been in GOLD for the past couple of days, the Bond one was on the other night. Good episode, but ever since I first saw it, I've thought: When Alan goes through his VHS tapes, he's missing OHMSS and when he creates his schedule he emits it as well, jumping from YOLT to DAF. Wonder why?
Watching Top Gear ( No footie for me) , I doubt they'll recapture the fun of the three lads. Earlier I
Watched a coup!e of old episodes. The chase across Saint Petersburg and the Robin Reliant
Test, where at turns, it kept rolling over.

Been catching up with the new series of Alan Davies : As Yet Untitled - very funny -{
And the stupendous return of Euro Trash - bring back a full series {[]
A word on last night's Top Gear, firstly the cooking part of the challenge wasn't new Top Gear has
Done that before, and during the Interview segment Chris Evans gave away who had won the
Lap before showing it

It was still very good though - especially the Aston Martin :x and the Tesla -{
Ray Mears ,I love watching Ray Mears ,his knowledge on the great out doors survival is truly fascinating . Whether its the Arctic or Arizona ,he is the man you want to be with .
Currently working my way through "Department S" , as a kid, I'd stick a false moustache on
( a bit of paper, coloured black with a marker) to be Jason King.
I still love the show but it is funny, to see them on a sun kissed beach, the titles telling us it's
The South of France. Yet it's fairly obviously a beach on the south coast of England with a plastic
Palm tree shoved in the background. )

Only ever seen a couple of episodes of this...they used the same (cheap) production values on The Saint )

I actually bought the complete series DVD boxset of Jason King last year from the CEX exchange shop. I still have to watch it but I've heard it's very good. I believe it was a spin-off series from Department S.
"The tough man of the world. The Secret Agent. The man who was only a silhouette." - Ian Fleming, Moonraker (1955).
Yes, infact I think Austin Powers is more a send up of Jason King than Bond.
You can tell the budget was tiny for these series. As Sir Miles pointed out, many
Of these old shows shared sets, cars and actors.
No matter what country they were supposed to be in, France, Spain Germany
They all looked like a field in Surrey filmed in winter. An example is a scene shot
In a Spanish resort by a swimming pool. Yet the building is a mock Elizabethan
Design. More in keeping with a Shakespeare play.
Then again they were simpler times and I'm sure it must have been tough to
Put out an action show for a tiny budget.

A great series that I would love to see again - sad that Peter Wyngarde lost his career in less enlightened times
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

Was that to do with his sexuality?

More that he was actually caught importuning in a public toilet than actually being homosexual - it was a time when homosexuality had to be kept secret although most knew that stars like Frankie Howerd were gay it was illegal in those times.

Keeping the fun and friendship of the original version. -{
I just hate Chris Evans
Why ? I don't think they are THAT old that incontinence has set in...

I imagine it will prob reduce a little bit more and then maintain around those figures

Speculation about the BBC cancelling the show ?
I really enjoy the humour and enthusiasm if Rory Reid , he can review a car.
