Psychoville

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Anyone watching?

I too nearly pissed my pants at Maureen's Tina Turner ! This series is absolutely fab. I have been to see them live too

Just watched it. I agree about the Hancock thing. Just from a dramatic point of view, I thought it blurred the 'fiction/reality' boundaries in a way that was unsuccessful. Not sure why but perhaps it asks for too hefty a suspension of disbelief.

And more to the point, I thought it was in very poor taste. Maybe that's a weird thing to say about this show, but I really thought it crossed a line.

Silent Singer is terrifying! I agree with it being very Salem's Lot last week too. Scary! Reminds me a lot of Bob from Twin Peaks too.

This is the best thing on TV! Absolutely first class genius. Maureen Sowerbutts and David are exquisite characters - when Maureen killed the guy from CAB was fantastic!

My sister said the same about Twin Peaks! I didn't watch it but may have to borrow her box set !

Why do series like this always get tucked away instead of given a big fanfare. It's fantastic.

But I completely agree re Tony Hancock. Didn't get the point of it at all. And didn't like it either, agree it seemed in poor taste

Silent Singer is totally Aphex Twin. Very freaky.

Tina Turner was just the freakiest funny thing I have seen in months!

god, I love this so much. dh does too and he wasnt keen on the first series. I LOVE mr Jelly. the silent singer is awesome!

lissie, Mr Jelly is my favourite. He wasn't at first, but he's really grown on me. I do love Tea-Leaf, that moment when he went into the Nazi basement and just said "For fucks' sake!"

hahaha that was ace! Im glad that dawn french's character (the mw) has gone she freaked me out. remember when the baby "came to life"

Yes, I am really glad they have kept Tea Leaf as a character even though Oscar Lomax is out of it.

Does anyone else think that Hettie/Hattie (?) is very like Tish from TLOG?

I also agree that Mr Jelly is developing nicely into a round character.

The multi murderers sneaking round the old people's home was hilarious.

I fucking LOVE this show!

Yes Hattie is very like Tish! With a bit of Pauline thrown in.
I loved little Freddie fruitcake. Dawn French was really perfect for that character.
My favourite episode was the one where David and Maureen put on the cheering up tape.

Superman!

I want a 'tomorrow belongs to tea' mug.

Oh, I love Pyschoville.

I saw the first 2 episodes so I think I'm lagging behind.Got up to the bit where MW was stabbed in the neck.Will catch up from start of this series over half term.

Was there a Hallowe'en episode? I remember the mother and son in fancy dress breaking down and that man giving them a lift.( Vicar from Marchlands IIRC)

KenDodds, me too! Lord, there was indeed a Halloween special. I've still been too scared- not got round to watching it though.

OK fans - who is your favourite LOG character and who is your favourite Psychoville character?

Mine are Pauline from LOG and David Sowerbutts from psychoville.

(Really I just want to keep this thread going as it is great to find fellow devotees of LOG and Psychoville!)

I like the German teacher from LOG, I forget his name. 'Oh Justin, my Justin, my very own Justin...' And of course the family with the toads and nude day, having a braindead moment re names but I recall their downstairs toilet 'into which we do not pass solids'!

Lomax was my favourite from Psychoville . Loving the librarian and silent singer too.

Herr Lipp!
My all time favourite is Pauline Campbell Jones.
Closely followed by Mrs Levinson/ Charlie & Stella (especially when Stella plays in the greedy slits)
And the charity shop workers.

Favourite Psychoville characters are David and Maureen Sowerbutts.

LOG fave has to be Dean Tavalouris, I weed a bit when I saw them do him live! Psycoville character def Maureen and David. Agree Hattie just like Tish, also think Mr.Jelly has a bit of Geoff Tipps in him :) So funny/sad at the oops up side ya head dance :(

My name is Dean Tavalouris, out on the streets of Royston Vasey, doing my tricks and all my magic!
Psychoville brilliant tonight. Poor tea leaf!

Mam! I'm doing me pwogwamme!! I was sad about tea leaf too.

My favourite from LOG is the hapless Mr Chinnery, although I have to watch through my fingers.

Psychoville. Hmmm, that's more difficult. I didn't like Tealeaf at first but think he's warming up nicely. Also Mr Jolly, who's becoming more layered and interesting than I expected from a comedy/sinister clown character. Also Jeremy Goode mainly because I fancy the arse off Reece S.

Not so keen on Hattie, for some reason.
