Does anyone know when this is coming on? I have been onto Sky and seen all the cast interviews but I cannot see when it is on. I am probably being a bit blind / thick but I really don't ant to miss it!

I was looking at the bill board poster today when stuck in traffic - starts New Years Day .

IWantSantasNewToyInMyStocking · 20/12/2011 20:22

Thank you! I've not seen the posters just the tv ads, I think it looks great so hope it doesn't disappoint.

Fantastic!!Loved it, Philip Glenniste...................ahh!
I am driving myself mad trying to remember where I have seen the guy who plays the doctor before, something recent I think. Any ideas?

icapturethecastle · 01/01/2012 23:41

Just googled Dr Livesy he is Daniel Mays - was in Made in Dagenham (played the husband) also has been in quite a few tv shows.

Loved Treasure Island.

Stilla · 01/01/2012 23:48

looking forward to part 2

Was the Doctor the Devil in Ashes to Ashes ??

TheSmallPrint · 02/01/2012 11:08

That's right recall he was. He was in that thing with Hermione Norris about living on another planet as well (t'was dire). He normally plays secondary roles but has a new programme soon where he has the leading role. Can't remember what it's called though.

Why was the hobbit on speed? All I heard was "Yada Yada Cheese...cheese." Could not understand a word. I see they've left the ending open to a sequel...

TheSmallPrint · 04/01/2012 11:28

the hobbit? Ben Gunner? He had gone mad I think.

Red2011 · 04/01/2012 12:56

sobs< I don't have SKY. Eddie Izzard was in this too Sad Sad Sad

TheSmallPrint · 04/01/2012 12:58

Eddie was very good Red - if that's any consolation!

Red2011 · 04/01/2012 13:10

wailing now

TheSmallPrint · 04/01/2012 13:24

Ooops sorry Red, here, have <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=eddie+izzard+in+treasure+island&hl=en&sa=X&biw=1920&bih=880&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnsuo&tbnid=XDqCw8fGprW-iM:&imgrefurl=www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2012/jan/02/treasure-island-endeavour-tv-review&docid=naEEuNPlG6VQWM&imgurl=static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2012/1/2/1325520922281/Eddie-Izzard-Treasure-Isl-007.jpg&w=460&h=276&ei=nlIET5PaF8O_8AO0l5S6AQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1370&vpy=171&dur=842&hovh=174&hovw=290&tx=123&ty=71&sig=102599363485973568090&page=1&tbnh=162&tbnw=219&start=0&ndsp=36&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this as an apology.

I meant Ben Gunn before, not Gunner Blush

TheSmallPrint · 04/01/2012 13:27

hmm, lots of complaing in the comments of that article about Eddie's acting. I obviously don't have very high standards! Grin

Red2011 · 04/01/2012 15:37

oooh! Thankyou smallprint. As if we care about his acting. He is Mr Izzard, he can do no wrong! Wink

TheSmallPrint · 04/01/2012 16:00

Pleasure Smile. Now get thee off to Sky, don't you know Mad Dogs 2 is coming. No Eddie though I'm afraid.

5Foot5 · 04/01/2012 20:48

I thought Eddie Izzard was terrific in this. Good performances all round but he was the highlight. IIRC the squire wasn't nearly so nasty in the book.

Davros · 04/01/2012 21:37

I have recorded it and was going to wait to watch with DD (8). I assume its suitable for her? I was worried opening this thread again in case everyone said it was shit but I'm encouraged.....

vogonmothership · 05/01/2012 20:43

We really really enjoyed it, even if it was a tad long and Gene Hunt suddenly channelled the voices of Windsor Davies halfway through. Lots of nasty stabbing though Davros for an 8 year old?
