Bisque Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 After watching the latest episodes' Top Gear adventure to try & find the source of the Nile, I wondered something: Since the estates used by Clarkson, Hammond & May had combinations of sleeping areas, running water etc... would they be allowed into Glastonbury using a camper van ticket???

thegremlin_1999 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Not tv, but just listened to first part of Radio 4's dramatisation of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. A stellar cast and an excellent production. Awesome stuff, can't wait for the rest of them now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t8yman Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I thought "The Pacific" was disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minute5072 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I thought "The Pacific" was disappointing. Me too, gave up after about 4 episodes. Found it all a bit "samey".I'll give it another shot eventually. I have now learned that the kid from Jurassic Park is in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 that was a real surprise...as I'm sure the royalty cheque will be. Some great kudos for you there, being associated alongside bands such as Dr Feelgood, & Dire Straits (and whoever else was included, I forget).

eFestivals Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 eh?'tony' is in a band (at least, I presume he's still in it...?), who were featured in a 70's retrospective on BBC4 on Friday night along with acts such as Dire Straits, Dr Feelgood, Eddie & the Hot Rods, The Motors, Ducks Deluxe, etc.I tuned into it rather randomly to avoid Comic Relief, and when the programme started and I saw who was being featured I mentioned to my missus that tony's band might be included. I was still rather surprised that they were, tho.I'll leave to tony as to whether he wants to reveal his real life persona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipsteak Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Me too, gave up after about 4 episodes. Found it all a bit "samey".I'll give it another shot eventually. I have now learned that the kid from Jurassic Park is in it... it did get better. still no where near the heights of band of brothers. apart from just generally not being as good, it had a couple of big problems. it tried to cover to many people, in separate stories so you didn't get to know them like in BoB, and from a british POV, the war in the pacific seems less of 'our' war than the war in europe, so I felt less involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt "care" about any of the characters. I watched most of them, the one where they stormed the airfield was good, but other than that - fairly uninvolving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
