number37 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 It'll be interesting to hear Shearer holding back the tears when he's narrating the scene where his dear friend is getting the sack. Unless he maintains a dignified silence? Sid Waddell always knew when to talk and when not to, let the drama and action unfold itself. Sid Waddell would have made a good narrator, unless us Northumbrians are excluded from being real fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Jesus lads, watch an episode or 2 before going mental at Shearer being the narrator, eh I doubt it'll make a great deal of difference and it's nice to have a club legend doing it. Personally though I'd have gone for Dave off Royle Family / Gogglebox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure of the documentary date range, didn't know if it was just last season or from the takeover but I guess it makes sense that it's last season. I retract my statement regarding Alan Shearer's narration and personal relationships. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I’ve had a long hard think about this lads and I’ve decided that not only do I not care who narrates a documentary but anyone who has feelings about the topic should be executed for being a massive fucking fanny.

There's pages of objections to it "going mental" perhaps a pure choice of words sorry, but I'm very surprised people feel so strongly. He's not the ideal choice as he's not the best orator generally, but can't see it taking much shine off the doc and as I say the connection with the club is a nice touch imo.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Second vote for Brian Blessed. We actually signed Gordon last year - Blessed would love screaming that name at the top of his lungs. I’d turn the radio off if I heard Kevin Whately on it. Makes Shearer sound like captain charisma not captain creosote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
