Have you read the link? He literally says he was delivering pizzas and driving taxis for a living until 2 years ago when the show was comissioned Its not worth falling out over, but that's verbatim from the bloke himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to worry about there Scotty. 3 hours ago, Kid Dynamite said: Have you read the link? He literally says he was delivering pizzas and driving taxis for a living until 2 years ago when the show was comissioned Jonathon I know nothing about the NHS, I can probably quote some articles that make me look like I have a story but unlike you I've never worked as part of it and it would be boring of me to argue the toss based on those articles. Quote 'Look mate, you're 40 years of age, you're not making any money, you've given it a good crack but it's time to become an adult and get a normal job'." So he found work delivering pizzas, got his taxi licence and moved to Echuca. It wasn't the life he had imagined for himself, but he was getting by, more or less. "And then one day about two years ago [director and producer] Nash Edgerton called me up and said, 'FX wants to make the show'." He's now 48, series one was made when he was 46, two years before that he was contacted by Nash that makes him 44. So the poor cunt spent 4 years delivering pizzas and driving a cab in Echuca, which is a small town with about 30000 people, that's a life quite a few people would be happy with. Good luck to the guy he's made a cracking show but as I said he's been working in the industry for a while and has a lot of backing by people with major connections.

Gemmill 34152 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I've started trying to watch Peaky Blinders again. I remember why I stopped last time - it's like a competition for who can do the worst accent ffs. Unreal that they just shrugged and went with these actors.

NJS 3954 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Been on holiday for a fortnight and started watching Lucifer which is canny. The crime bits are a bit simplistic but the other side to the story is quite inventive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19717 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I’ve enjoyed the first couple of seasons but completely agree on the accents. About as convincing as Mel Gibson’s Scottish effort in Braveheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16469 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The America's by Simon Reeve has been brilliant. I can see the reflection in our own country in some of it though which is depressing. Simon Reeve says with a shock how infrastructure isn't a high priority for the government in the US. It's the same over here so not sure why he's shocked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38518 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I really like his programmes- he’s one of the most honest documentary makers.The last one there about Mexico was superb. His shows aren’t about him, unlike Theroux, for example. When the heavies stopped them filming, he didn’t try to sensationalise it, it was simply “time to GTFO”.
