Archie: the man who became Cary Grant - starts tonight on ITV

[IwantToRetire]

I am wondering if this will be worth watching.

But I dont have much faith in ITV doing a good job.

So much of what they do is quite weak in terms of the script, and relies on creating impressions.

Stars Jason Isaacs

I think all episodes (4) are available on line

(But I think ITV did the series Nolly which although a bit smaltzy was okay!)

@ginasevern , it was filmed in the north west including Liverpool in the Summer of 2022, you can google the locations.

Oh, I see!

I'm a HUGE Cary Grant fan... Now watching....

I really liked this - binged it last night. I’m not sure that JI was quite debonair enough as a PP said but otherwise he got it right. I thought that Aikman was incredible as the hopeful, talented Cannon (having liked her in Gavin & Stacey, it was great to see her in this) and Harriet Walter was as sublime as ever, the perfect mix of sourness and vulnerability.

I think it did a great job of showing how his unsettled childhood informed his adult decisions. It wasn’t about his fame and hit films, it was about his childhood and mother/father issues.
