Any Green Wing fans around?

[CitrusPocket]

I’ve just been binging the first series. Sue White in the last episode left me hysterical. It’s just all so bonkers! I found a thread on MN from nearly 20 years ago about it, has anyone been on here that long?

Love love love Green Wing and delighted to see the audiable thank you! I used to be in love with Mac but on my recent rewatches I love the change in Guy more and actually think Mac is a bit of a bastard (sorry!)

I think its so bonkers, it hasn't really been as affected by changing cultural standards. The bad stuff is way out beyond the boundary of what would ever have been considered OK in any cultural standards ever.

I don't dare rewatch it because it will highlight quite how shit and 'safe' TV has become.

Perhaps controversial opinion: The black books episodes written by Graham Linehan are funny. The rest, not so much.

Yes! My mind rationalises quite a lot of programmes with the same actors in them as scenarios of what happens to them later.

Jim is clearly what became of his Green Wing character when he retired (and possibly had to join a witness protection programme somewhere along the way).

@Ormally exactly!! Jim with Wilson is brilliant.

The sexual harassment was off the scale. I doubt anyone could get away with covering themselves in clay and begging for sex nowadays.

Have you lot seen "Spaced"? I think that might have been early onset "Jim" for Mark Heap.

PC gone mad!

I thought it was coming back?

Ok I’m onto the second series now so I know the first cliffhanger at least.

I think if it was made now the intimacy co-ordinator would be off sick with stress.
“So in this scene the actors will kiss each other but only using their tongues. And next we’ll do him twiddling her nipples whilst she climaxes/sings opera. Right moving on to her masturbating him whilst he’s unconscious in a coma.” <faints>

🤣

Wait until you get to the cupboard!

We’ve just recently discovered the Audible series. Mark Heap is even more superb in that than he is in the TV show.

Haha... it was SlittySluttySlots, from when Dr Statham is careering round the streets on a mobility scooter, cursing out Joanna after their affair ends! It was said with such venom and made me laugh so hard... but really not appropriate for a parenting website 😄
