London's Burning Interview with Michael Garner (Oct 2021)

[@simonsaysrewind]

Gonna watch loads of these interviews as currently watching on drama channel. Michael was superb and it will be great to rewatch especially as originally I missed lots of episodes as I was a teenager being out n about 😂

I assumed he really was from the West Country. Good actor.

It's interesting to hear Michael talk in his natural London accent, instead of the West Country accent he uses on the show.

Tremendous actor, played Pearce very well indeed

Binge watching the whole lot for the first time. Pearce is a vile character and provides a brilliant contrast to the seriously decent Bayleaf, Hallam (fling excepted), excellently portrayed - which can't have been easy! He needed to be there so long for plot purposes. In reality, the rest of the watch and their officers would long ago have thumped him, hosed him, insisted on his transfer and much else besides....all of which wouldn't have made good long-term telly.

Me too. Since it has been shown on the U and Drama Channel, I watch it, when working from home and when I miss it, I catch up. It is better than Eastenders/Corrie. Poison Pearce is like the snitch at work who nobody trusts and who is treated like a child because no-one says anything in front of them.

Chop Chop!

Now into s11 and Poison still there. Still. It's none of my business, sir.
