Football stuff on TV

Bet the BBC made it. Perfect subject matter, 'Sir' Gareth.

Surprised this thread hasn’t been bumped for BBC 8pm tonight…

Has anybody actually watched it or just random clips out of context?

 

I thought it was good, although I imagine the original stage show would have been better where you get a bit more poetic license. It's always a bit cringe/uncanny valley trying to recreate people on screen whose appearances and mannerisms are so well known. Plus football scenes never translate well to TV/film (even in case of Ted Lasso which is well loved).

Just random clips out of context for me. I might give it a watch some day but for now I'm just enjoying some of the appalling characterisations.

Got to admit I don't think it looks good, but it looks proper entertaining like. Will probably watch it.

Pickford is bang on. Exactly how I imagine him to be in the changing room. A coked up Zebedee just bouncing about shouting shite.

It was decent enough, but I can certainly see why it was created as a play. I imagine that's a lot better, and shorter. Making it into a TV show of 4 one hour episodes really takes it away from what it was created as.

The play works on stage because it's all performed with match audio overlayed. Stitching the real match footage with the actors essentially repeating the play is extremely jarring, and highlights the miscasting that goes less noticed on stage. 

 

It was also really obvious what had been tacked on to the original play when I went to see it last year n'all. Should've just covered up to the 2022 World Cup and stopped there.

That actor does resemble Southgate somewhat.
