The Tourist - bbc iPlayer

[Hyltons finest]

Bumped as just finished it myself. Bit up and down like very daft at times but felt I enjoyed it in the end, kept me entertained at least. That Luci an absolute wad anarl

Question is, do I jump into this first or go straight to watch happy valley ? Finished the responder so need something new to sink my teeth into !!!

 

[Patch]

Finished it the other night. I thought the resolution (not the ending) was a bit corny but is was still enjoyable viewing.

I’m being a bit of a tit here but can someone explain this bit for me.

Spoiler

when That Russian lass comes to see him does it suggest he was a kernt all along and was part of getting the drugs about?

Aye

 

[Billericay Dichio]

Enjoyed it. Some really good characters in it - not like the normal photofits.

 

[Helmerroids]

Second season do you think? Still lots of his back story that can be built upon?

Shite.

Thought it was a great series with some good acting and an unexpected ending. Well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

Just starting the second series on iPlayer here.

Terrible start. Does it get any better?

Watched the first couple, it's most odd. I'll persevere though.

 

[Hyltons finest]

Can hardly remember what happened in the first series. By the looks of this thread I only watched it coz I fancied one of the cast

Can't get over this first episode. It's cringeworthy. Far fetched beyond belief. Shit 'comedy' and bad acting.
Not sure I'll make the second.

 

[Trumpet]

It's so bad it's verging on pantomime daftness . Ridiculous shite.

Agreed.

I’ve given up. It’s not credible.

 

[THELORDRODWELL]

Shite.

This

Didn't know that ! As you say whether it had much of an effect on his accent is doubtful.

He'll be bilingual with a prédominance of English as his first language. Even at the age of 4 the brain becomes hardwired linguistically with the development of neural pathways.

And as Scandinavians are constantly exposed to English through telly, film and music his hardwiring would have been refined and cultivated. I saw this happen to my son. Exactly the same age.

I've seen him being interviewed and he speaks quite naturally without an hint of scandi accent using English native idiomatic expression.

Nope.

Series 1 had a contrived ending as they’d obviously earmarked another season.

Just a shame they seemed to use scriptwriters for Season 2 who, to be blunt, are absolute rubbish.

Watched part of episode 2 to see if episode 1 was an aberration but No, it’s badly written, contrived junk. Ditched it.
