[TV] Vigil TV Series

[lawros left foot]

I couldn't care less if the submarine is bigger than a real one, if someone's arm bands are 3 then 4 or if someone is called by the incorrect title, but I do like a good TV show; sadly this isn't one.

That submarine is bigger than the Nimitz.

Talking of TV series with a very tentative grip on reality, what was the name of the Police series a few years back set in Brighton where every copper was either BAME , gay, or both.
I watched the first episode, and it was just so bad.

I think the series you’re talking about was “Cuffs”, pile of shit that was, every car chase was filed in the Mill Road park & ride [emoji23]

I agree to an extent with the philosophy that "it's just a tv drama", but you might have expected the writer and director to do a bit of homework?

He could have called me for free [emoji23]

Arm bands?

Complete fantasy, every most unlikely incident occurred in the space of two days, with far more space in the sub compared to the reality. The creators turned the reality of this:

into a Nimitz size ops room.

But I quite liked it.

Copying my joke, said in post #55.

Apologies, I must have missed it.



I should have said it’s bigger than the paint locker (just) on HMS Massive.

It’s gets more bonkers but I’m seeing it through.

Aboard the voluminous HMS Vigil, DCI Amy Silva is now back in favour, part of a brains trust discussing the nerve agent problem, a device planted onboard and nuclear reactor. Second in Command is now back in favour too.

Same here.

I still think the Admiral is more involved than is apparent.

Strange how the copper is an expert in EVERYTHING including nerve agents.

Last week I thought the seemingly useless sub Commander was the Russian spy.

I had already guessed that the guy in the torpedo room was no good because he was the only one (apart from the main cast) that I had seen in something else. He was Bobby Moore in Tina and Bobby.

Well I have stuck with it even though it is bonkers. The ending last night had me so wound up I had to watch the Brighton game on repeat on Sky to calm down!

I then watch a well made prog before I go to bed, to rid my mind of the maelstrom of nonsense.

I watched this after the first episode of "Y - The Last Man" and must admit this was more believable than Vigil. For instance, why would a junior naval officer disclose top secret submarine locations in the middle of a protestor camp...and what relevance is this to the police?

The ending of each episode is getting more and more silly. First, we have a woman who thinks someone is after her so when told to find somewhere safe, she stands under a street light on a deserted road. Next we have a police woman being followed in her car who is told that back up will be there in 9 minutes, so instead of driving around for 9 minutes, she goes straight to a car park. And then we get last night's tripe.

I will see it out just to see if my prediction that Endeavour did it comes true, but thank goodness Bob was fishing beforehand as if this was going to be the highlight of my week's TV entertainment, I would be sorely disappointed.

Had enjoyed it up to last night episode which is just ridiculous, acting was pretty bad to I thought. Amazing how it has dropped off so badly

The endings remind me of the low budget serials i watched as a boy on Saturday mornings at the odeon . You know the ones where the hero is seemingly crushed by a rockfall one week only to emerge the following Saturday dusting himself down with his gloves !

Ah, the Batman and Robin serials were that memorable I bought a couple on dvd a few years ago for a nostalgia kick. Happy days.

Just caught up with episode 5... It really isn't much fun down there with all the problems they are having. Mind you, at least they've plenty of Co2, scran and don't have to rely on exorbitant Gas like us poor sods topside.
