McGoohan Dec 2014 9:19pm, 2 Dec 2014 13,371 posts	0 McGoohan Yes, it's a comic pastiche type thing based on a radio series (which I'm not familiar with). It was pretty funny but rather samey. Lots of fun had at the expense of Victorian fiction.

Autumnleaves Dec 2014 9:59pm, 2 Dec 2014 5,096 posts	0 Autumnleaves I've heard the radio series - which is quite funny.
McGoohan Dec 2014 10:39pm, 2 Dec 2014 13,374 posts	0 McGoohan OMG - The Amateurs is about golf. Right, that's it. I've decided to hate it.
LindsD Dec 2014 10:42pm, 2 Dec 2014 3,319 posts	0 LindsD I've ordered Thomas Penman from the horrid tax-dodgers. Had to get some other stuff including a power button for my laptop which is held together with sellotape.

Wriggling Snake Dec 2014 8:39am, 3 Dec 2014 8,019 posts	0 Wriggling Snake Simon Mayo, Kermode, I can't explain it but whenever I hear them I get a violent urge to reach in to the radio, grab them by the throat and strangle them.
LindsD Dec 2014 10:03am, 3 Dec 2014 3,327 posts	0 LindsD I hate Mayo too. But I don't mind Kermode, mainly 'cos my Mum met him once
