Slow on the intake the Paky, ruff overthere, guess not expecting in UK? Yes Skinhead all look alike :) No brown Indians? Big fuss for own Country yet many moved to non muslim Unfaitfuls. Strange targeting all Skinheads. Cops dont like Truths, but interrogating a Newslady is weird, Politic control. Are they allowed to wear wigs?
I used to get stoned back in the day when this first aired and when the interrogation scenes were playing i was so overwhelmed but the intensity. Remarkable writing and acting
Intense! No, it’s not underrated, it is well-rated & highly rated. It led to future success for both Coltrane & Carlyle. Harry Potter, Full Monty The Beach, Once upon A Time. So there!
" If you answered the door yourself you bone idle bitch" the way you could talk to women in the 90's, and in all fairness she;d give just as good back. Miss the good old days.
Wow! Dr. Who, "Beggbe" from Trainspotting and a man so fat he must be from America. Funny bit is that they don't have fat actors that are stars in America. The only fat star I can name is John Candy and he was Canadian.
Seth Rogen, Zack Galifrinakis, Jack Black, Phillip Seymour Hoffmann, Drew Carey, Kenan Thomson, Kevin James, John Goodman, Orsen Wells, Danny Devito, Jason Alexamder, Vincent Pastore, Oliver Hardy, Paul Giamatti, George Wendt, Kevin Smith, John Belucci etcetera
I enjoyed the movie, it had me Feeling kind of tence. Movies like this Movie Gives Psycho's out there Ideas. It is what it is. It's the Kind of WORLD Which we Lived In. At Present Putin's Exsicuting Mass Murdering of Innocents And 1/2 The WORLD is Staving. One Country is Holding the rest of the World Hostage. 5 🌟☮️.
One of the most shocking UK TV dramas I have ever seen.,.can't beat UK drama, writers, actors etc etc .,and that was then ....look at what they have achieved.,,.we rock .,check out my Welsh hinderland xx
I'm an American, and this wasn't written for me, but this is one of my favorite bits of TV all the same. I revisit this once every few years. It hits on something American TV is scared to touch: how many white domestic terrorists start out just being poor, frustrated guys with nowhere to go and nothing to lose. Albie's last speech is haunting and accurate from an American perspective. I don't think it's that far off from how a lot of these real-life guys see themselves.
The actor of that name, or the character he plays? Yes, the Character, 'Jim Best' is one nasty bit of work, the type that gives all police a bad name; But the Actor...?
They don't arm their cops in the UK, and back then operations were a lot closer to the ground like that. If you're American (like I am) you grow up thinking all cops are similar to occupying military forces, but that is not the case in many first world countries.
When I think Carlyle I think of Hitler, and bloody Madonnas ex husband Very under rated actor and when I think Coltrane I think of Mona Lisa with Bob Hoskins, another fine actor Hell im just a colonial hahaha, also an Anglophile
Jimmy McGovern and Dennis Potter were/are by far the finest (script) writers on English tv, imo. Superb story telling with an incredible bunch of truly outstanding actors. They were for me the best of years. Cheers!
