The new series of peaky blinders is an absolutely joyless, pointless, tedious slog of complete shite

I've heard of Peaky Blinders, but I don't actually know anything about the show.

as I understand it, it's about some kind of peaky blinders?

Post by **dng** » Sat Apr 02, 2022 10:19 pm

The last two episodes were probably even more pointless, tedious, useless than the first four

I tried making a thaumatrope (those things you spin so it looks like the birds in a cage or whatever), but it was a failure in all possible ways

Nice idea, Davuss. How's about YouTube? Would it work on there?

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Apr 06, 2022 12:22 am

As a vidyo, I mean.

Post by **dng** » Wed Apr 06, 2022 12:40 am

probably but i am too lazy to try

Has this been commented on befo'? I can't rightly remember. It probably has been, mind.

I don't know whether I'm charmed or scar(r)ed by this.

'Pretty old', as far as I'm concerned is the period: 1985 - 2000!

I just watched The Changes (BBC 1975 teen drama in 10 parts) on Daily Motion.

It petered out a bit at the end, but I thought it was rather good, if disturbing in places, kids telly.

8/10.

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Jul 23, 2022 11:39 pm

I saw 10 minutes or so of a film made in the late 30s, and it looked pretty damn good, image quality-wise (restored presumably). I then caught 5 minutes or so of One Foot In The Grave on Drama, and it looked like a 360p YouTube video. Not a good look!

Post by **richschnauzer** » Sun Jul 24, 2022 12:33 am

Drama seem to broadcast from the VHS masters

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Jul 24, 2022 10:59 am

I remember watching programmes I'd recorded in VHS long play, and thinking, 'this is perfectly acceptable quality'.

I rewatched the Channel 4 documentary Champions: Battle Of The Bikes - Boardman Vs Obree, at approximately 2.34am in the morn, and rather enjoyed it (once again!).

It also made me horribly nostalgic for 1993/4, and to such an extent that I felt a touch weepy.

Post by **endar** » Fri Sep 16, 2022 10:34 pm

Post by **dng** » Sat Sep 17, 2022 10:45 am

I do not know.

It was meant to be shorty All4 last week but it got postponed because, if there was one thing the quen couldn’t abide, it was puppets and raw meat

I haven't watched any Don't Hug in absolutely ages, so I am pleased with this news. Hurrah!
