Stapes Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Following on from the greatest TV series ever - Band of Brothers - and The Pacific (the last couple of episodes were great) comes the third in the series. Filming now, and starring Ricky Gervais. http://reelbrief.com/exclusive-update-on-hbos-masters-of-the-air-wwii-miniseries/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzzzz Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 OMFG..... Just OMFG... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzzzz Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Don't see any mention of the Gervais knt. Hopefully that part of it isn't true. There are millions of actors better suited to something as potentially brilliant coming from such a thoroughly brilliant bunch of producers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Aye, only joking about Gervais. Can't wait for this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks for this. Really enjoyed BoB and the Pacific. The Pacific was definitely a grower though. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbroath55 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Only here as I thought I'd wandered into a debate on whether it was Gilzean or Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thanks for this. Really enjoyed BoB and the Pacific. The Pacific was definitely a grower though. J I thought BofB was absolutely amazing, I've watched it through 3 times now. The Pacific I lost interest in after 2 and a half episodes, do I need to go back to it and persevere??

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 ditto BoB was excellent ; Pacific bit tougher to like kind of saving private ryan v thin red line ; theatre wise and blockbuster versus deep stuff am still waiting for a ww1 version of quality best i have seen is bbc version of birdsong - and an aussie film (i think) under hill 60 about tunnelling ops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Pacific is tough going at times. Last two or three episodes are fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove_Sheep Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I thought the Pacific as a standalone series was pretty good. It struggled due to being compared to Band of Brothers, which is generally untouchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Same holty absolutely loved band of brothers but struggled to get into pacific. Might have to give it another bash and see if it gets better. Hopefully this can be as gripping as bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Following on from the greatest TV series ever - Band of Brothers - and The Pacific (the last couple of episodes were great) comes the third in the series. Filming now, and starring Ricky Gervais. http://reelbrief.com/exclusive-update-on-hbos-masters-of-the-air-wwii-miniseries/ I was crying with laughter at this... I read it and literally my first thought was: "Bzzz will not be amused" then he is first reply. Reading on chuckling i saw the 2nd Bzzz post 3 minutes later, and in my mind I had a scenario of a raging Bzzz googling frantically for 3 minutes while expletives leaked out of him at an increasing rate. Shaking at the outrage of Ricky Gervais "wrecking" the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
