Just booked tickets to see Grey Davies. Here’s hoping for a bowl of polenta chips 😂

For me it was "Pure Wickedness", a one-off series he was in with Orla Brady who he was having an affair with. I have searched high and low all over every bit of the internet and I can't find this anywhere to download, to buy on DVD or even video. I can remember whole scenes of it vividly though and I'd love to watch it again.
All the episodes are here....https://tapeadsenjoyer.com/v/yVo0v9jZYMTyBz/Pure_Wickedness_E1.mp4

David Morrissey was amazing in The Long Shadow about Peter Sutcliffe's victims. He was a policeman.
Makeup did such a good job, close up you could see all his broken capillaries and blotches on his face (I presume he doesn't have them naturally 😂).

I didn't realise he's married to Esther Freud, who wrote one of my favourite books Hideous Kinky.

James Bond needs to be obviously handsome. Daniel Craig was an anomaly.
Oh my god! Sulky Bond…never understood the love for Daniel Craig…he should have been a Bond villain not Bond! Bond is meant to be suave, sophisticated, naturally charismatic and charming, not some 5foot steroid inflated pouty sullen pipsqueek! Craig looked like a guy who goes to the gym twice a day just working on his chest and dropping weights loudly (you know those really annoying tears in the gym making noise in the hope that someone will notice them) then hangs out in a pub after, sitting in the same seat, ordering the same pint, complaining that his wife left him and his kids won’t talk to him anymore cos he was spending too much time on his model railway! He had ABSOLUTELY no charisma!

Piers was the best bond and I would challenge anyone to a dual who claims otherwise

I tell people I’m nearly 50, which is true. I’m 53 which is nearly 50.
My nana swore for years she was only 38 and all of us grandkids believed her. It was only one day when they talked about my mum coming up for 35 that I thought it out and realised it didn't make sense. In my defence, I was around twelve at the time and she was VERY convincing and had been for years. Honest to god she was so good with the flannel that whatever she told you, you always believed it.

I have lost count of the times I have been forced to watch them because of my dad. I could probably recite every one of them off by heart and the Pierce era especially Goldeneye is my favourite. My dad was always a Sean fan and thinks I should be too as we are Scottish.

Weak as piss tea but when Sean used to be a milkman, his area included where my great-grandmother stayed.

OMG - thank you, thank you, thank you! I honestly can't thank you enough! How on earth did you find them? I have literally searched in every way I could think of! Already downloaded them.

I am not a hugger in RL at all but I'm sending you a HUGE virtual hug right now!

They arent together any more, hes been seen out with a new lady.
He's one of those actors where if you see his name attached you know it'll be a good watch

Im a fan of David Morrissey too. Going back a bit, I loved Born Romantic, also a TV movie he was excellent in about a couple and their prem baby. This Little Life.

David Morrisey is a hugely underrated actor, -he always acts everyone else off the screen.
Same as Samantha Morton, you realise how tit all the other actors in the scene are once she opens her mouth.

Both magnificent, I agree. Samantha Morton never fails to impress. She's stunning in every way.

A lot of the older ones like Patrick Stewart actually came from normal or poor backgrounds. If they went to drama school or did theatre work their accents were worked on to be more RP so it makes them sound posher than they are. Roger Moore was the son of a policeman.

Today you have the likes of Daniel Craig and Gary Oldman flying the everyman flag.
I love Gary Oldman but he is (as his name suggests) old. He's 66, so a bit of stretch to see him as representing the current generation of actors 😄

Semi-related to the Bond discourse, in that he once played a Bond villain, I was thinking just now that I'd quite like Sean Bean to play Vimes in a Discworld adaptation. You could actually nearly do the main city watch characters just with the Game Of Thrones cast (Andy Serkis as Nobby being the exception).

And as I've said before, the witches in my head will always be Judi Dench as Granny Weatherwax, Miriam Margoyles as Nanny Ogg and Jennifer Saunders as Magrat (the ideal choice would actually be Emma Chambers, but sadly she's dead).

Also, unrelated to the above, Gary Oldman is younger than Gary Numan 🤭

I got tickets to a Comic-Con event and he was there. Went with my daughter who also loved The walking dead, and we got a photo with him Love him. He’s seems a nice guy. In lockdown he did a podcast was so interesting about acting and particular parts people had played they discussed it was really good.
I loved DM in Blackpool. He was hot AF in that 🥰

Have you seen state of play the tv series? Political drama. Really good and as an amazing cast, David Morrissey, Kelly McDonald, Bill Nighy, John Simm, Marc Warren, James McAvoy, Philip Glenister, the hound, Polly Walker, Tom Burke and Sean Gilder.
