I'd love to hear him sing again.

I think Natasha looks stunning, but doesn't she always?

I'll have to tape it, I'm out Monday (just for a change)

:lol: I've just posted that on another thread...yes do set the tape before you catch the train...

Well, mine depends on my lot pressing the record button.

:o touch and go...... :naughty:

Eli Stone is repeated on Friday if you miss it.

Thanks, bramley. I didn't know that.

 

I haven't had time to check my signal today since the scaffolding came down. I'l probably need a few attempts at connecting up the right cables. I've forgotten where all the connections between the Sky box, the TV, the video and the DVD player go. I didn't use the video or Dvd with the freeview box. I disconnected them to make its installation easier.

I'm hopeless at connecting all the TV bits and pieces, and Hubby is as bad. Thank goodness for Son-in-law !!

What did everyone think of Eli Stone?!!! It was certainly different.... weird and wacky, but fun!! The writers certainly have a wonderful imagination :D I think it will do well - a harmless, fun programme that I will continue to watch

I also thought it funny that they showed an advert for Will's 'Let It Go' during one of the ad breaks - it's the first time I have seen the advert and I thought that was entertaining as well!! :D

I disagree. I think the adverts on Eli Stone were far too long and destroyed the flow of the show. It would be a great show if it was shown on the BBC.

I shan't be watching it yet awhile so I can't express an opinion. Maybe in a few days time.......

I didn't warm to any of the characters other than Dr Chen and Eli's PA. I was pretty much the same with Ugly Betty until quite a few episodes had passed - it just looked like a rip off of The Devil Wears Prada at first.

From an interview,this is a quote from Johnny Lee Miller, who plays Eli Stone.

 

Can George Michael act?

"He was very good. I mean, he plays George Michael, so it’s pretty natural to him. It’s territory I believe he's familiar with and has played before."

 

 

Luckily for Meg and I David videoed it and missed the adverts out so we've yet to see how it is with them interupting.

 

I really enjoyed it and shall be watching the next one :)

George Michael has a speaking part in a later episode, I believe.

 

A lot depends on how much dialogue has to be delivered. One still has to deliver the dialogue to characters, not the actors and actresses one's just met, so one can't actually be completely natural.

 

Thinking about Darius in Hollyoaks - he was still playing a role - Darius the popstar, rather than Darius the man, and he had to speak lines written for him by scriptwriters, not in his own usual speech patterns at all. He looked like Darius, wore Darius's clothes, spoke in Darius's natural accent and sang one of his own songs but apart from that, he may just as well have been acting the role of a "popstar."

 

 

 

I really liked Eli Stone, I wasn't very keen on Hollyoaks.

I've occasionally looked in on Hollyoaks since but about the only character I still recognise is Tony.

 

I think any soap only works if you watch it continuously for a couple of weeks.

 

I used to watch Neighbours and Home and Away. The characters and emphasis have changed so much on them that I wonder how I ever could have spent any time on them at all.

 

I've never been able to get emotionally into Eastenders at all, despite its obvious popularity and blanket media coverage. It just leaves me cold.

 

I'm not into storylines which go on for weeks on end. That's why I've never watched 24 and got bored with Heroes, and now with the Tudors. The Tudors kept me for longer than most though, mainly because the acting from the leads was so good.

I'm not good at any soap. I want an end to a series.

I purposefully dodge watching the never-ending soaps......or at least, I did, till I got hooked on Casualty. But

at least that is only once a week, with breaks between series.

I've just watched Merlin. The first week I was impressed. Tonight I laughed out loud at the hackneyed presentation

with all the sword twirling and the prehistoric creatures. And it all started out so well. But I still enjoyed it.....just not

in the way the programme-makers intended.
