I know nothing about drugs- sorry
Oh, hang on............it's T that's he's snorting!
Please refrain from putting that french geezer in the same sentence as Fowler!
Bollocks. Just got in from a gig and settled down to watch this as I have Telewest's sooper-dooper "Teleport" service with any BBC prog from the past week available at the drop of a hate and ... it's only fcuking crashed.
Next time I'll just set the video. Old skool.
There isn't even a repeat, is there. Straight to DVD this one.
Quality car chase at the beginning.
Best line from Simm this week - "Please shag me, I'm in a coma..." :D

The pub in life on mars was called the Lord Lion in Rusholme couple of hundred yards from Man Citys old ground it was a right shithole most of citys lads would hang around their waiting for the away fans.

Finally saw this last night. He wasn't the lad who played Curtis was he, he was the copper out of Shameless who had a thing for Fiona, no?
This has just been been given a 2nd series. Starts filming in April, according to today's paper.
Thought this was the weakest episode yet, mind, but seeing 'himself' at the end was a bit freaky.
The anti-hooligan speech was bollocks too. Not bollocks in its sentiment, just absolute cock coming from an act-or luvvy like Simm who probably ain't been near a football ground in his entire life. Gertcha.
I've watched the whole series an all. Good news on the second series cos other than Shameless there's fuck all else of interest on TV at the moment.
yeah the last one was the weakest episode but it's been quality. Only this and 'the mighty boosh' is any good on telly at the moment.
Excellent series, had to be filmed in Mcr though, is there anywhere else where so much has remained unchanged since the seventies?

yea,sheffield and todmorden
Sorry to have to correct you but the pub wasnt the Lord Lyon, its one just around the corner from it - cant remember its name though. Most of the other scenes tend to be filmed around Ancoats / Eastlands areas

Hey up , calm down there, my mum and gran are from Hebden Bridge!
on a side note,the local paper ran a report that Hebden is the Lesbian capital of europe?? so how come whenever i go the only lesbians you see are butch dykes? that and gypo's
Yep, it's full of tuppy lickers. Extract from The Grauniad
"Hebden Bridge has the highest number of lesbians per head in the UK. It houses Sylvia Plath's grave and is the birthplace of Sir Bernard Ingham, Baroness Thatcher's former press secretary. When it was named as the lesbian hub of Britain in 2001, Ingham wrote in his column for the local paper that the fact so many lesbians had moved there did not "say much for the men of Hebden Bridge", and pondered on what life was like "BL" (before lesbians). Those who wrote in to protest were heterosexuals who had taken offence at the attack on members of their community.
Such was Ingham's distaste, he persuaded BBC2 regional current affairs programme Inside Out to highlight the lesbian influx in a documentary, charting his horror at the "ruination" of this fine part of the country. The publicity, however, brought many young, isolated lesbian couples to the area, who for months after the programme could be seen holding hands while peering into estate agents windows. "It brought good business into the area," says Margaret Ashworth of Hebden estate agents Ryburne and Co - obviously not quite Ingham's intention.
As well as the stunning countryside, part of the attraction for lesbians migrating to the area in the late 1970s and early 1980s was cheap housing and an opportunity to run their own businesses from home. Some perpetuate stereotypes of lesbians by earning their living as homeopathists and therapists. Barbara Jones moved to a farm in Todmorden from London in 1985, when there were only a handful of lesbians living in the area. "I was a builder, so realised I could buy a house for next to nothing and do it up myself. That's how a lot of women working in manual trades came to live here." Jones runs the country's only straw bale business. "It hasn't always been plain sailing for lesbians here. Many of us had to put up with suspicion and prejudice from some of the locals before we could prove ourselves to them. Now we are part of the furniture."
There is a huge community sprit in evidence - more than 200 subscribe to the newsletter, and in the vicinity there is a lesbian bridge club, curry night, cycling group, walking group, dog walking service, babysitting network, disco and even a branch of the gay birdwatching society.
