I was thinking there might be some laughs in it, but it was genuinely brilliant. Check it out on iPlayer if you can. No, seriously! I saw the last 10 minutes or so, the end bit where he got his kid to tell the cameraman to 'Get aaaaaat!' or something along those lines was pretty sweet. I like the way it looks like he still lives in a bit of a shithole with a common as muck Essex girl. It makes me wonder what percentage of the population can trace themselves back to royalty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Can you Adam n Eve it , Danny Dyer related to royalty . As long as it isn't Edward the confessor , because, and " lets ave it right " there aint a grass in the Dyer clan . Cringe, cringe and cringe .

Chindie Posted November 25, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2016 Technically most people will be related to some form of royalty. The old 'direct descendant of Charlemagne' thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post theboyangel Posted November 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2016 Just finished The Night Of. What a cracking bit of telly! Part cop drama, part prison drama and part courtroom drama. Utterly compelling with some great characters (particularly john tuturro) Only 8 episodes so easily achievable over a couple of nights! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfielder Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 A few weeks ago I felt loss and sadness as I finished Boardwalk Empire. I am about to press play on the last episode of Sons of Anarchy.... The episode that's just finishing...... Dammmmmn...... I was late for work this morning because of Sons episodes last night. Gonna feel loss and trauma again in exactly 80 mins apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Watched the Danny dyer who do you think you are, the man is still a parody but I don't mind him, easily the best episode of that show I've ever seen agree about Riz Ahmed, read a good interview with him in I the other week, I think he's got a massive rant about not getting a role because of his ethnicity in him which might get him in trouble stateside, looking at it he's got nothing in the pipeline for where he goes next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Gave the Danny Dyer thing ago just out of morbid curiosity. It's unintentionally hilarious and so unashamedly contrived . The man deserves an Oscar purely for staying in character from the moment he was born . He plays Danny Dyer every minute of every hour regardless of if there is a camera on him or not .If he landed a part as a random storm trooper he'd still come bowling down the landing craft ramp like a berk, mouthing unintelligible rhyming slang Probably the greatest method actor of our generation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 By my count there have been four GoT actors in Black Mirror, and two of them are a couple of my favorite characters, the old master of Winterfell, and Bronn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Is there not a separate Westworld thread? What a great series... its starting to make sense now after a bit of confusion up to episode 6. I'm guessing it hasn't got as big a following as Game of Thrones (as yet) just because its new.

In the UK, the actor who plays Bronn (Jerome Flynn) will be forever remembered as part of the God awful singing duo, Robson and Jerome. He is great in GoT, but once you've heard him singing Unchained Melody, you die a little inside, and can't ever look at him the same way again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly spellbinding It's pretty good but I can't help but feel that they could fit it in a half hour programme if they didn't use so much slow motion.
