Did anyone watch the Jimmy McGovern film 'Reg' last night on BBC? It was a true story based not about our Reg on here, but Reg Keys who ran against Tony Blair in Sedgefield after he lost his son in Iraq.
I had no idea that had actually happened, was it reported much on the news at the time?

We watched the first 3 episodes on the Iplayer (bizarrely you can watch it there before its on the TV) and it was good, although the third episode was spoiled a bit (I won't say why). Decent cast and writer though. Some of it was filmed directly outside my (old) office in Canary Wharf. |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

We actually watched all three last night, I think there re going to be 7 in total so not sure when the others are on? It was Ok, a clever premise but the writer just seemed to lose interest towards the end (not sure if that is why you thought it was spoiled a bit - PM me!), the writer writes mainly teenage fiction which did reflect a little in the dialogue (the 'banter' was a bit grating at times but I am 40 and I suspect not the target demographic), an interesting change of direction for crime drama and one I suspect trying to engage a younger audience by being less formulaic than most. We will definitely watch the rest assuming we remember its on in a three weeks time! |

I was looking forward to it, but it's not been great. They screwed up with casting I think. |

Top Gear. Get with of Chris Evans and you have a pretty good show.
Personaly, i think Sabine, Chris Harris and Rory Reid were brilliant yesterday
