[Brighton] Grace ***May Contain Spoilers***

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

O/T - Agreed. I really wanted the West Pier to be saved and it wasn't; it burnt down and they built the i360 on the site of the landward end. Those rusting girders are simply an eyesore and make Brighton look a bit like a decaying post-industrial town circa 1985.

And yeah, should be a discussion/thread in its own right as I know others will disagree. Something to have when the football season finishes?

Completely disagree - I think the whole West Pier remains are iconic and I'd hate to see them disappear.

Well there we go: two-all!

EDIT: I've asked the question in a separate thread so this can stay about Grace.

O/T - That's always the way when you know an area, the film-makers chose the best shots rather than slavishly follow the local geography. I worked in the West London area in the early 80s and the locals were always moaning about 'Minder': "George and Terry were walking down such-and-such street, then they turn the corner and suddenly they're in so-and-so road which is three miles away!"

I also remember when 'Quadrophenia' came out. I saw it in the cinema. There's a shot in there of Eastbourne, taken from the hill to the west. (It's a good view as you can see the whole town laid out). The Mods have all paused, then one of them says "There's Brighton!" At which point a voice a few rows behind me boomed out "****ing thick Mods are well ****ing lost if they think that's Brighton!"

It was more like Brighton than the one in "The Damned United" though.

I like to think of them as a lasting legacy of how little the West Pier Trust have done down the years and how much they have taken in salaries while they did nothing.

Was fascinating watching them filming back in September. Lots of standing around for what will probably be a 10-second shot!

Always fun to spot things you know when watching it back though. That's my window!

Good episode last night I thought - although I did guess who it was quite quickly (never read any of the books).

Serious crush on Zoe Tapper too these days!

 

[Dave the OAP]

Thought it was very good last night. I thought it was the lady with all the tats and piercings who was the tall woman in the hood!

couldn’t remember the book!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Another decent episode but are all the pavements down there covered in weeds?

 

[BN9 BHA]

I’m still trying to work out how they got an arctic truck into Powis Road.

Yes.

I fell asleep!! I want to enjoy it - having read all the books - but find the script and how the characters are portrayed, sleep inducing

 

[perseus]

Just about watchable, better than reading the books.
