[TV] King Danny Dyer

[stewart12]

Liked his interview on The Assembly. Came across well unlike Lineker who was monosyballic. Honest about his rehab. Not really my cup of tea normally but thought him and Tennant were good on that one programme.

Absolutely love that programme. Danny Dyer came across as very warm and personable as did Tennant. Very little pretense to either man and you can tell they went into it with their eyes open and with humility as did the lass from Little Mix. As a Scot I found it very emotional when they sang Sunshine on Leith to Tennant. I think Lineker found it quite challenging but grew into it towards the end but was clearly uncomfortable at the start.

Smart guy, Danny Dyer. He knows it’s all a character and he has fun with it.

And occasionally comes out with something very funny.

He doesn’t often do stuff I’d watch but he’s alright I reckon.

I'm on this track. Mr Big Stuff (for which he just won a Bafta) was enjoyable, and he was very good in Rivals too. Ultimately, he has his niche and leans into it hard, so fair play to him for making the most of it.

I know it's all an act, the whole cockerney geezer personnae, but, the programme tonight was laugh out loud funny in p!aces. They should have told him about King William Rufus, who met his demise by having a red hot poker inserted in his 'bottle' (authentic cockerney rhyming slang)

No they shouldn't - it didn't happen. The red hot poker was inserted into a different person altogether.

Did he wake you up early this morning?
I’m confused why this thread from 2019 has been bounced

He won a facking BAFTA last night.

Oh right, thank you for the information…..good for him

Good banter

Edward II (allegedly.)

Edward II (allegedly.)

September 1327, Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire (well worth a visit). His remains are in Gloucester Cathedral.

(and there's not very much 'allegedly' about it)

Danny Dyer in the park Lewes Road / Robinson Road Newhaven from the film The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael (2005), not a good film but mostly filmed in Newhaven.

He was almost certainly murdered one way or another. For a number of obvious reasons, there's absolutely no evidence that he had a red hot iron poker shoved up his arse, and there are good reasons to think it's a nonsense story made up several years later.

There really aren't. Did it really happen? More than likely, given his....err....lifestyle. Balance of probability applies.

Jumping back a few posts, I'm pretty sure I've been to the site where William II was killed (by an arrow), and in my recollection it's very much just a clearing with a plinth in it that may or may not be somewhere near where he died. Apparently the reaction of everybody present was just to leave him and ride off as quickly as possible.

I've been to the room where it happened too (again allegedly, but convincingly). You can no more disprove it than you can disprove that the landings on the moon were real (or prove it - but again, balance of probability prevails).

The House of Normandy certainly knew how to die in mysterious ways. Rufus's young brother Henry I rules for 35 years but died eating "a surfeit of lampreys".

Is that something to do with a Star man and dynamite

No. Slithery little things. Baby eels - used to be a seasonal delicacy. Now beyond expensive.
