The Class of ‘76

As many of you will know, I enjoy a murder mystery, and one featuring Robert Carlyle sounded even better. Sadly, this was not the case. The last couple of nights we have tuned in to ITV to see one of their big autumn drama season (which have all, so far, been bloody dreadful - next week looks even worse, can you imagine the outcome of Ray ‘I’m a hard nut, me’ Winston and Suranne ‘weird name but I used to be in ‘Corrie’, me’ Jones in a whodunit called ‘Vincent’?! I dread to think) excited at the casting of Carlyle as a - wait for it - moody detective (instead of his usual moody psycho or stripper), but we were very much disappointed with the end result. Carlyle was good, in a limited role of looking moody and occasionally losing his blob, as was Daniel Mays in an even more limited role of eating and being nicer than Carlyle to people, but the whole thing was a convoluted (for no reason) pile of tosh! |
