I am so delighted to discover the Armchair series. Every time I have a free time I enjoy watching every available episode. I appreciate it kindly.

Watching pre digital age tv series, my impression is that what we have now is so incredibly mundane, glib and fatuous..

@E-Kat 2 ай бұрын

I have to google "glib" and "fatuous" I have been on this planet so long, yet these words have managed to escape me, along with thousands of other interesting words enabling us to describe what we see and feel more precisely , providing the recipient is familiar with these words too; not like me😂 I suppose," I was like", " he was like" and "I went, noooo" come very handy when one's supply of adjectives is very limited 😂😮 Little drawn pictures come very handy also in those situations.🏡🏞️🌄🌉🎑🌃🌁🤣

Glib and fatuous to google! 😊

Yes. British television today is glossy and totally devoid from anything that went before. The vast majority of television writers that were worth their salt are dead, and British TV television caters for the most dumbed down and zero intelligence you could possibly get. I watched Granada, BBC, and a few Channel 4 dramas from the late 1960s up to the 1990s. All of them were far superior in terms of writing and not talking down to the audience, but instead, treating the viewer with intelligence and questioning the world we live in.

I would visit my friend Sally as a youg teen aged thirteen or fourteen, for weekends, who lived in a spartan house in Stickney. Her mum and dad went out on a Saturday night. A treat would be a Vesta risotto shared between us two annd bolstered up with bread and butter, most likely Stork.We would sit rapt and silent watching these episodes, when not readind ghost stories from Edgar Allen Poe to each other. Our every treat then was savoured and we had nothing much materially, but everything else in abundance to thrill us.

A young James Bolam, I'd know him anywhere. I mostly knew him from New Tricks. Omg and Alan Ford last seen on Eastenders. He's so young and you can still know him by his gate and voice hehe Snatch and even has a new movie apparently Bermondsey Tails

Ames Bolam was also in The Likely Lads, with Rodney Bewes, in the 1960s. A good series, of it's time, but probably too non PC, for these days!

Very good acting,good story and terrible noises imitating music to no effect whatsoever aside from annoying distraction. Silence is potent and could have been used in place of those horrible flute keys constantly jabbing at your ears. Must be a law that requires directors to higher noise makers to ruin good drama.

Yes I like this but: As if the clinic would not contact the police and the fire brigade to come out to pull the woman’s car out of the ditch. As if the clinic would allow the woman after concussion and having her stomach pumped to go alone back to her crashed car. Quite bad writing. But putting this aside, enjoyed it.
