Three tonnes of solid gold, six armed robbers and an audacious heist that stunned Britain. Stealing it was just the start. Drama series inspired by true events surrounding the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery and the remarkable story that followed. Starring Dominic Cooper and Hugh Bonneville.

I initially enjoyed The Gold however the depiction of Noye & Palmer as cheeky chappie’s or loveable rogues airbrushes the truly nasty individuals they were.
Although he got away with it, Noye stabbed police officer John Fordham ten times and later stabbed and murdered Stephen Cameron in a “road rage” attack on the M25.
Palmer amassed a further fortune through his corrupt property and timeshare rackets, allegedly breaking the legs of anyone who complained when they were ripped off.

Bonkers movies, I can handle, but this was totally incomprehensible.
Tried it twice, but like you, decided that life is too short to watch dross like this.

I enjoyed Denzil Washington (as I usually do) here as an anti establishment civil rights activist lawyer who finds himself out of work and money when his law firm closes and subsequent events lead him to become poacher turned gamekeeper on the wrong side of the law.

Just watched “Three Thousand Years of Longing” on Amazon Prime starring Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba. An interesting concept and visually stunning, not particularly original, but the performances from the two leads are excellent.

Yes I picked it up the other day thinking the two leads would produce something special. Interesting and worth a watch but….
Just watched it, thankyou for the tip
I quite enjoyed it, I have no idea what it’s about though and I certainly couldn’t explain it to anyone.

Absolutely mad and you do have to wonder what the pitch was and to whom to actually get the thing made?!
