Good god. A non news event from 20 years ago turbed into a drama? I wonder how rhey will reenact the thing with the wine bottle lol

Randysback · 07/07/14 - 03:38

There was a joke around the time of that range rover having a 2 litre in it.. ( Tool eater)

able1 · 07/07/14 - 05:27

Is this a 'heads up'?

grauniad · 07/07/14 - 08:56

I hope they haven't blown this out of proportion. This bringing something up that happened 20 odd years ago, and some might find this hard to swallow.

Salacious content - it often interests

No, I won't be watching.......

Seeing as you asked, I can wait.

In fact, I have no interest in it, so I will not be watching.

When is it on?

gashead · 07/07/14 - 10:14

What is the 'point' of this? Litterally, what is the point? Surely there are more interesting & salacious celeb/ tabloid/ libel courtroom spats to dramatise? A quick Google brings up that Frankie Boyle, Elton John and Kerry Katona have had more potentially interesting cases, so why does the maker think anyone give a toss about this case?

I suggest that anyone sad enough to watch it just to see a Gillian Taylforth 'lookalike' simulate oral sex on a wine bottle needs to examine what they're doing with their life.

Aside from anything else, her ex Geoff died a year or so ago, didn't he?

alan29 · 07/07/14 - 11:13

No. She is of no importance.

Grouty · 07/07/14 - 12:48

I doubt she'll go down

(Again)

seamist · 07/07/14 - 12:56

why are they Going Down this road again?!!!

mike65 · 07/07/14 - 13:19

Well blow me down!

There is an article in the guardian regarding Channel 5 losing about 30 million in ad revenue as a big agency has pulled its clients from the channel. This level of crap isn't going to help get them back.

Channel 4 did this show about 5 years ago

TardisSteve · 07/07/14 - 18:41

more rubbish from channel 5

EStaffs90 · 07/07/14 - 18:45

And this sort of thing is why I don't watch Channel 5.

Steve9214 · 07/07/14 - 20:05

This has already been done.
BBC did a docudrama about the cases of GeorgeCarman QC called "Get Carman".
David Suchet played Carman, and Lisa Maxwell played Gillian Taylforth

Cannot see Channel 5 getting better actors than that really !!

maycontainnuts · 07/07/14 - 21:19

thanks for the head-up about this, but It will suck
