Diagonaldi Very well executed
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
ianlouisiana A gentle pleasing comedy,very much of it's era. Excellent Mr B.Murphy is a stroppy Europhobe OAP who with his neighbours goes to Boulogne for that topical subject in 2003,a booze cruise. Except for the lovely Mr M.Benton,all the men involved return to a very different world from the one the had left a few hours previously. Mr Clunes' business has collapsed and his daughter's wedding gone phffft Mr Pearson's beloved West Ham shed had been crushed by Mr Murphy's chainsaw - welding wife(the lovely Miss A.Reid in cahoots with Pearson's own wife after a few bottles of wine,and young Master Wishaw' - Mr Clunes' prospective son - in - law has fallen for the charms of French cyclist . Oh,and the trailer containing the spoils of their trip has caught fire. Those who voted "Bremain" may well watch this with a glow of misty - eyed nostalgia,whilst "Brexiters" will cheer on Mr Murphy's anti - French rant which ends up getting them all arrested.You can't win,Brian old son.
brian38in2004 Sex ? yes ! Violence ? yes ! horror ? yes ! It had all three,yet still managed to pass as a sincerely delightful comedy with actors who complimented each other wonderfully.Once in a lifetime something like this comes along and it's absolutely well worth waiting for.
richteabiscuit This was a one-off 2-hour drama on ITV. It is about a group of miss-matched neighbours going on a booze cruise to France. The script was very good with witty dialogue and strong characters. All the acting by the main and even the supporting cast was of the highest order with the veteran Brian Murphy brilliant as the moaning pensioner. It had plenty of laugh out moments and a clever 4-pronged plot. Though there were a couple of predictable moments on the whole it provided a decent level of entertainment. An enjoyable drama, which I recommend you watch.
PtGrrtt Really enjoyed 'the booze cruise' - it was well written, well directed, well cast and the music really worked. I loved the fact that we got the split between the guys on their quest and their family and loved ones back home. There was humor, pathos, fun and some wonderful characters - well done all involved!
