0% Villa-BBC drama on Munich air crash.

[cdbearsfan]

I liked the bit where Matt Busby survived a nuclear explosion by sitting in a fridge.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

The bit where Jimmy Murphy danced on the large keyboard in the toy shop was quite clearly cribbed from Tom Hanks' 'Big.'

[cdbearsfan]

It was alright, but could have done with a dinosaur or two.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Not the most realistic bit, when Matt Busby loads the virus onto the Aliens computer.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

I couldn't believe it when David Tennant got into the TARDIS and changed history and made Man U win the 1957 FA Cup Final.

Actually, that wouldn't surprise me.

Just seen advertised next week on BBC - Bobby Charlton, A Football Icon. On next week. More BBC ManU propaganda.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

I have no problem with Man U related events getting more coverage in relation to the fact that they have more followers.
In the same way that Gerard Houlliers present health problems make the national sports media. If say the manager of Accrington or Morecambe had the same health scare, it would not register outside of the local media even though the significance to the individual, his family and personal acquaintances would be the same.

I watched the programme and thought it was a bit shit.

Never underestimate the appalling power of gurning in this decadent, deranged epoch of the the death agony of global capitalism. Tennant is a man of his time.

Further evidence: the ubiquitous Davina McCall.

I totally agree with the above.........whatever epoch means?

I totally agree with the above.........whatever epoch means?

In the fields of chronology and periodization, an epoch means an instant in time chosen as the origin of a particular era. The "epoch" then serves as a reference point from which time is measured. Time measurement units are counted from the epoch so that the date and time of events can be specified unambiguously.

Events taking place before the epoch can be dated by counting negatively from the epoch, though in pragmatic periodization practice, epochs are defined for the past, and another epoch is used to start the next era, therefore serving as the ending of the older preceding era. The whole purpose and criteria of such definitions is to clarify and co-ordinate scholarship about a period, at times, across disciplines.

Epochs are generally chosen to be convenient or significant by a consensus of the time scale's initial users, or by authoritarian fiat. The epoch moment or date is usually defined by a specific clear event, condition, or criteria— the epoch event or epoch criteria —from which the period or era or age is usually characterized or described.



.....Well thats what Wikipedia said, so its probably lies.

That's the first intelligent post of any interest in this thread. I always liked Andy Lochhead, not that that has anything to do with it.

[Brend'Watkins]

I quite enjoyed it.  I thought the lad who played the young Bobby Charlton was a very good actor (it's the first time I've ever liked Bobby Charlton). 

But the chant/song from the 50's no less..."There's only one Bobby Charlton"....how could they get something so wrong?

[not3bad]

Talking of David Tennant, going off on a slight tangent, I found myself in the horrid position of strongly agreeing with that gigantic wanker A. A. Gill about something today, with his rant about Doctor Who.

Isn't that the norm for him?

Just curious but what did this Gill bloke say?

[Lucky Eddie]

A.A.Gill? Weren't he the author in the yellow pages advert?
