tartandon Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Murder Among the Mormons on Netflix is a good 3-part true crime documentary. If you've seen Book of Mormon, you might even have a wee giggle every time they mention Joseph Smith's name. Hasa Diga Eebowai 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from the creators of South Park so has a quite similar juvenile and puerile sense of humour in places and some of the subject matter and plot lines are quite near the knuckle but we both found it hilariously funny.

Will get the tickets booked, could do with some cheer at the start of January. We had tickets booked for Edinburgh last summer which got kiboshed due to Covid so we'll be looking to cancel them and get Glasgow booked tonight. I've got a relatively funny/embarrasing story about seeing it in NY. We went for dinner in a restaurant right next to the theatre. We'd had a couple of early afternoon liveners and then some wine with dinner. When the restaurant owner found out we were on honeymoon he kept sending drinks over. Long story short by the time we went in to the show we were a bit giddy and more wine was bought to enjoy during the show (as well as being "forced" to go back to the restaurant at the interval for a top up!). The wine came in one of those souvenir cups with the closable lids and at the end of the show I placed it under my seat and headed out. Mrs F was waiting for me in the lobby and asked where my cup was. Told her I'd ditched it and she pointed out it would be "handy for taking to festivals" or some similar nonsense. If I'd been anything resembling sober I'd have just left it however in my inebriated state I thought she was on to something so I made my way back in to the theatre shuffling by everyone else coming out. Seeing that I was looking for something on the floor a couple people asked if they could help. Not wanting to come across as a steretypical pished Scot looking for his bevy cup I inexplicably told them I'd lost my wallet. Cue the entire theatre grinding to a halt and about 30 people in 4-5 row radius getting down under the chairs to help me look for it, ushers coming over with torches the works. The longer this went on the worse it got as people were really invested in helping me find it! I then spotted the cup, shoved it up my juke and announced "dont worry about the wallet, it doesn't matter". People looked at me with pretty baffled expressions as they told me to stay as we'd find it eventually and I can only imagine what they were thinking as I hastily made my way out of the theatre with my face turning scarlet! I've still got the cup. Never used it at a festival though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw it in London,we tried to get tickets when in New York in 2015 but had no luck, a year later it was on in London. I've never laughed so much on a theatre or cinema before. An older couple walked out about half way through the show. They didn't know what it was about, they only bought tickets because it was so popular🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll get along quite nicely with the humour Back on track, another series I didn't expect to enjoy is Call my Agent but I am.

Do you fill it up with fruit shoot and pick n mix from Asda rather than pay theatre prices for your goodies ? 😁 Ok I will put Call My Agent on the list. I will give it 3 episodes. If it hasn't made me laugh by then its getting binned. I have watched 3 episodes of The Terror. Its ok, wouldnt rave about it, but good enough to stick with it.

morrie21 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 If you have Sky check out 1992, 1993 and 1994 (available to download). Was on Sky Atlantic. I had watched 1992 and 1993 a few years back and then caught 1994 late last year to round off the series. Have just started watching 1992 again as I decided to blast my way through the seasons again. The basic premise is six fictional characters whose lives and careers become inter-connected based on the real social and political culture of Italy during those years. It really is an excellently written TV programme and the soundtrack is ace. Also features casual references to major sporting events affecting Italy during those years.

You do need to buy into the outrageous storyline though. We got to about the 6th series and Mr Tidy says ‘ this is just too ridiculous now’ , like the first 5 series had been completely believable 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The manhunt series is good, season 1 about the unabomber and season 2 about Richard Jewell and the Atlantic Olympics bombing. Game of thrones was good TV up until around season 4/5 but the writing quality decreased when they got beyond the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
