I'm quite enjoying this, it's a bit better than the previous series. Thank gawd no Saskia Reeves* this time.


Enjoyable tosh, just like Spooks, which it's not surprising to learn is done by the same folks.


*I'm actually quite partial to our Saskia, but she was just awful in Luther.

Two out of four so far Otto.


Anyway.....Some of the writing's a bit, well you know.. improbable. How come Luther can just stare at crime scene photographs and deduce that the killer's work is all about silence and emptiness? Hmmm? Well, is he clairvoyant or an I missing something?


Also, having a six inch nail hammered through his hand how come he didn't rush off to the nearest hospital without bleeding half to death and then in the next scene he's wearing a bandage on it?


Still, it's enjoyable enough and the ladies have got a bit of eye candy to watch on an otherwise dull Tuesday night.

Plot holes, improbable insights, inexplicable story progression, paper thin characters, bizarre motives, ludicrous plot devices. Yep it's Spoother.


Great fun though.


*uncovers sheet over barrles* "There's enough spopholdahyde to dissolve three thousand children, he was shipping them to India, they'd have dissappeared without a trace"

*characters look at each other questioningly, shrug and down a quart of moonshine*

"Makes sense to me boss"

What was that Janet Jackson / Luther Vandross song where they "improvise" a bit towards the end and she says, "Oooh, Luther"? Spot on Janet, Idris Elba is delicious.


And I think I've said this before on here somewhere (in many respects, this place is like the morning room in an old people's home, all telling each other the same stories over and over and occasionally soiling ourselves), but Cracker was just as improbable in his powers of deduction: what's that, he used the possessive with the gerund but has the hands of a labourer? He must be a monk. I blame Conan Doyle.

    • Yes, but most posting on here against the festival have not said they hate all festivals, it is about location, scale and footprint, duration of the event, including build and dismantling, and the level of impact on wildlife and residents living close by.    Last year I said on here that I would, reluctantly, accept the three day event, provided it was no more than that and the footprint was not extended to include more of the park. Now it is reasonably clear there is an intention to scale up I think a new, more suitable location must be found. 
    • Have to admit, I did have to check myself - I've been to many festivals and it seems a bit contradictory to challenge one, but our local park is not the place for a festival of this size. It just needs to either scale down to the environment (smaller footprint, less damage) or find a better location. There is a VAST difference between festivals out in the countryside and the same in an urban park.      
    • Campfire on from about 7pm on Fridays - pop along and join me - I always have some Small Beer available. 
    • Thanks. I dropped off the books that I thought would be most helpful for them already this week.  Thanks for the advice. I have advertised the ones that may be of use for studies on this forum then dropped off some at Oxfam in Herne Hill and others at the Bell End House book exchange. Still a few more to drop which I will likely give to Mind on LL who I like.
