Television, drug of the nation

"John Coniston, loyal manager of a cash-counting house where used bank notes are taken for disposal, is forced by gunmen who hold hostage his wife Kirsty and their young daughter to cooperate in a robbery in which security guard Chris is badly injured. Nine months earlier John and Kirsty had just bought a house and Chris had befriended Dita, an Eastern European teenager sacked by John for stealing. John, who makes up shortfalls from his own pocket, is under pressure from his boss Gordon to locate a stolen fifty-one grand and discovers that Chris and his friend, fork lift driver Marcus are attempting to smuggle it out in batches of two thousand pounds. John suggests they 'take the lot' and thus prepares the way for a full scale robbery. "

I think my vague as fuck description was bang on. I also found it without you useless scumbags.
I am so smart, I am so smart. S.M.R.T. I am so smart.

Thanks though. :)

incredible, you were correct

Loves me a bit of Power Ringers.

Only murders in the building back!

I gave up on S3, but will try S4 as I loved 1 and 2

Csb- I used to work at one of those cash places many many years ago, and it was the only one in the country that hadn't been robbed. Everyone was soooo twitchy all the time just waiting for it to happen

I enjoyed s3. I have watched it all 3 times though so maybe I just didn’t give myself a choice

:-*

That is pretty cool. I never knew they existed.

There's another film (I now know every British robbery film ever made ffs) about women stealing money from one in their pants.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loughton_incinerator_thefts

"The story of the thefts was adapted into two films: first in 2001 as Hot Money, a television movie made for ITV starring Caroline Quentin,[7] then again as Mad Money, a 2008 film based on ITV's production, starring Diane Keaton."

She's from Men Behaving Badly, right?

Again it’s been a while, but maybe not.
I don’t think the comedy changes much. You just know the characters more.

I remember it being watchable and quite sweet, but rarely hilarious.

Many people seem to love it though.

I know it's not what you meant but I'd be REALLY keen to see men behaving badly with Diane Keaton in.

I knew someone would make that joke :)

Rings of Power season 2 started yesterday. Watched E1 and it was actually pretty good I think.

Fair enough, doesn't seem to be for me. Shame - can't really remember the last time I found a sitcom that grabbed me.

...stole more than £600,000 in a series of regular thefts ... the group were ordered to repay half a million pounds to the bank.

Sounds like it was worth it then, other than for the one person who was put in prison.

Rings of Power season 2 started yesterday. Watched E1 and it was actually pretty good I think.

This coment actually inspired me to give S2E1 a try, having slogged my way through season one. Turns out watching paint dry doesn't get any more interesting just because Sauron is a step closer to creating one undercoat to rule them all.

Is it based on the book?

really enjoyed Blue Eye Samurai on the animated TV front.

Yes! another favorite of mine
Was surprised to learn series made by French animation studio. I guess explains all gore and nudity that American studios would shy away
can't wait for second season

But it's such lovely paint. Go, go Power Ringers.

Oh, it looks good, but it's a bit like getting an invitation to visit old uncle Bilbo, thinking he's going to take you along on one of his epic adventures, only to get there and find him setting up his slide projector. The photos are beautiful, but each one comes with him droning on for ten minutes about that nice couple in Laketown who gave him a chest ointment to help with his cold, or a "funny" story about a horse trying to eat his hair because he smelled of apples.

I'll watch it all anyway, now that I've started.

Just started Blue Eyed Samurai and am gripped bythe first episode.

Watched episode one of Sweet-tooth last night and am enchanted, does it stay that good?

Anybody watching Kaos? I really liked the fun tone of the first episode but then it quickly turns
into a bleak dystopian nightmare and I just keep thinking "these poor people".
It's also hard to stay focused on the Greek theme when everything looks so Mexican.

That is literally how the books are however....
