I saw is on the listings, didnt know it was set in Blyth. Will have to have a look at that.

Aye first episode was Osborne Rd and Blyth. Second was the pink triangle.

Anyone been watching Bouncers on C4? Set in Newcastle and Blyth. Jesus wept.

 

Worth a watch on 4od.

The Quay is owned by a lad I went to school with (who's actually going out with my mate's sister because that's how small villages work), he's fully aware that the way it's set up attracts suspect clientèle, but he says that he tried to tart it up a bit initially, but didn't make enough money. So he now just aims at the lowest common denominator and counts the money at the end of the weekend.

 

Was pretty embarrassing watching that with my lass and her housemate, trying to explain how Blyth and Jesmond aren't a true reflection of the Newcastle that I know.

I wouldn't be embarrassed tbh. Most towns across the country are like that on a weekend. It's not a North East thing, it's a retarded British culture thing.

I didn't watch Bouncers but this is completely true. Only made worse if you happen to be sober when you're passing through.

Aye but it's still not an ideal advert for your home, is it.

 

100% of her perception of Blyth is that show. That show depicts Blyth as a shithole. I can say "Well, yeah, but I live 3 miles away", but it won't change much, will it?

That's one thing I have sympathy for you for. No wonder you spend every night drinking.

There must have been a taxi drivers reality show.

 

If not, you should approach channel 5 CT.

It's not an ideal advert for anywhere, but I just don't think you need to watch it from a "what will people think" POV.

 

You could take the cameras to any pub in any town or city and see the same thing. I'm sure your lass and her housemate know that.

 

Btw the worst bit about that episode was the doormen setting that pissed bloke on his way when he clearly couldn't stand up, watching him fall and smash his face on the road, and then try and claim how heroic they were for calling him an ambulance.

2 pm?

 

Bouncers was in Tynemouth last night too; not the place I recognise like.

 

I've lived almost all my life about 6 miles from Blyth. Never once been there.

It bored the shit out of me when I tried to watch it last night. I've seen countless programmes before about drunken arseholes in city centres and I didn't see how this one differed from any of them. At least it helped me get to kip I suppose.

Aye the bloke is a dick for getting himself that way, but sit him on the deck and ring the coppers. Don't set him on his way to smash his skull in.
