You could tell it was a Mark Gatiss & Steven Moffat show though. It's not unique though, it's the exact same plot as Moffat's 2006 "Jekyll" lol Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing the TV series is massively toned down though, some of the content of the graphic novel is just insane (but that's Garth Ennis for you!) It got a bit gritty but not massively graphic. I can imagine what the book is like 😳 Link to post Share on other sites

Very different take on the superhero thing and quite enjoyable too. anyone else seen it? I thought it was a really good series, can't get my head around Karl Urban's British accent but weirdly it works! Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I'm a big fan of entering present time, but I have been entertained so far. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Finished the Dracula series yesterday. I thought it was decent despite being very different from the traditional dracual movies. I'm sure @Denzel Zanzibarjust hates it because Dracula is played by a Danish actor 😉 Link to post Share on other sites

It was terrible back then, too. Link to post Share on other sites

Secondly; the man didn't have his breakout role till he was like...50, that's mad. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Great return for Inside Number 9 this week. For me its one of the best shows around right now. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Phillip Schofield has come out as gay. I wonder how many other 80s/90s kid's TV presenters will come out, I imagine back then they were told coming out would ruin their careers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 It's weird, isn't it? Can't tell whether to feel good for someone finally being able to be themselves or dreadful that the fella has seemingly dealt with this for so long, finding it so difficult to be himself. My cousin went through something similar quite a few years ago now, also married with 2 kids before he came out as he didn't even think he'd be accepted by his immediate family, never mind the extended family.

Uwe 3,543 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Philip Schofield coming out as gay is the biggest shock to since Will Young did. 🙄 But I’d be interested to know if it was family or work that put pressure on him to feel that he couldn’t do it before now Link to post Share on other sites

An openly gay kids' TV presenter back in the 80s? Would never have flown. I'm just wondering though how he ended up married with kids in the first place...that really boggles my mind! I had no idea gay people could subvert their feelings to that extent...or maybe he was confused and unsure about which way he wanted to go? Still...27 years...thats a hell of a long time to keep up any kind of pretence. OTOH waiting until his kids were grown up probably made it easier for everyone to deal with. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
