Ideal (2005)
Good vehicle for Vegas
Worth watching with older people as an intro to current lifestyles in urban areas of UK for those who may not have been exposed to "too much". A poll of family members was 3 for, 1 undecided. The 3 for were 76, 55, 27 and undecided aged 21 .... says it all really. Only started to watch each episode of series 2, having dipped in and out of series 1. Another good one set in a similar area of the country is Early Doors by Craig Cash and co. In fact they almost complement each other perfectly... try it and see. Will watch again as an antidote to the puerile rubbish we are usually offered.
4 stars for effort and some originality.
Play for Today: Comedians (1979)
Outstanding - the old and the new....
Fraser and Pryce, the baton is passed to a new generation. Umcompromising and unforgettable. 25 years after this was transmitted it still sticks in the mind.
Watch it as soon as possible. Perhaps a TV company should play this on a digital channel for a wider audience. As one of a host of brilliant dramas to come from UK television Play For Today series it makes much modern drama seem very superficial and shoddy.
I only regret not having seen all of these shows at the time. Whenever they appear on the schedule it is worthwhile making time to watch the early and often best output of these Brit TV/film makers/actors in their early years.
Saw this in black and white the first time... wonderful at bringing to life the atmosphere of 60's/early 70's. Man on the moon, music hall gone and comedy changing to something more in touch, or was it?
