Ashes to Ashes Series 2

[Deckerd]

I hate being negative about a show, I'm sure more than a few people think "there goes Jim Steele again - what a joyless cunt".

That's uncanny...

 

[Jim Steele]

You're in Fife. I win.

 

[Pingfah]

I'm in Cornwall. I win.

 

[Jim Steele]

Arrrrrrrrr me hearties.... arrrrrrrr.

Until you stop exporting pasties, I got the best of both worlds in sunny Edinburgh - the centre of the universe (tm).

 

[Deckerd]

I'm in Edinburgh too. I wondered what the smell was and now I know. We're downwind of a joyless queynte.

 

[Jim Steele]

I AM NOT DEVOID OF JOY

I hope that clears things up.

lolololollolololol

We only export filthy pigswill like Ginsters. It's all you deserve.

Ginsters: Shitter Than Greigs

Sam was said to have been in a prolonged coma before dying in A2A 1X01.

The significance of Hyde in LoM was that Sam was in the Hyde Ward in the hospital.

One of the writer/creator blokes said in SFX that A2A did veer too far into parody territory and that they would be dialing that WAY back. he also said that Alex was effectively someone who'd watched LoM and thought she knew 'how it works' but is completely wrong.

he also said there's going to be a third series in '83. which has also been repeated in the RT and the Mirror.

i enjoyed the episode, personally.

 

[Jim Steele]

I'm definitely going to stick with it, in the perhaps foolish hope that it will one day be half as good as LoM.

Sounds like they're going to play with the mythos, which could be a good thing.

It has to be said, though, that in 1982 if a man stripped off to his pubes in a coppers' pub, he would get the shit kicked out of him. I strongly suspect the same would happen in a coppers' pub in 2009.

 

[Jim Steele]

Not if he was a respected and well liked fellow copper, surely?

 

[Pingfah]

Ashes to Ashes needs to be twice as good as it is to be half as good as Life on Mars.

 

[Deckerd]

Then he would just get huckled into the gents.

Be ok now then, seen as (apparently) most blokes, something like 90%, don't have pubes...
Wonder if that came from the same study that said only 61% of men masturbate and 39% of women.

 

[Deckerd]

You made that up.

 

[Jim Steele]

only 61% of men surveyed admitted to masturbate

Fixed.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

You made that up.

Exaggerated, maybe. Made up, never.
There was a survey done last year where the results were supposedly somewhere around 89% of blokes shave/wax their pubes. (Obviously a high percentage are lying, or exaggerating that little trim they did.)

And I saw a survey yesterday saying...

An old joke observes that 98 percent of people masturbate--and the other 2 percent are lying. But according to a recent study based on a representative sample of American adults, only 38 percent of women said they'd masturbated at all during the past year. The figure for men was 61 percent.

Again, they're obviously lying...

Oh, and Ashes did quite well in the ratings.

The new episode of Ashes To Ashes draws 7.01m (29.2%) for BBC One.

 

[Jim Steele]

Everyone masturbates. I refuse to believe anyone who says they don't, or haven't. Unless you have no limbs and a land mine blew your cock off, you've choked that chicken, and that's the end of it.

 

[Deckerd]

Polished the torpedo?
