Watching the TV series ... All the old crew there Gaz, Dave, Horse, Lomper etc etc very good ... Daft script full of one liners and best of all no bloody canned laughter

From what I've read, a bit grim?

Well it is set in Sheffield eddie don't believe everything you read ... we watched that total bollo's The Gallows Pole ... no script just Effing and Ceeing every other word and no chuffing ending either ... now that was grim

So some of it being filmed in Halifax last year with Robert Carlyle and Mark Addy.

I love the film but I bet the series is dreadful. I’m thinking Mrs Browns boys standard

Steering clear of Disney+ at the moment. They're
producing awful stuff

The way Hugo Speer was treated, I might give it a miss.

Can’t argue with that…..cancel culture at its worst!

6.6 on IMDB so far

I watched the first episode last night, it was alright. It's only 8 long so hardly an investment if it turns out bad.

Quite enjoyed it personally, a couple of laughs so far.

I thought it was dreadful. Watched up to ep.3 and not sure I'll carry on.

Not watched it yet, but will do. They were filming parts of this outside my house. Must be the red brick terraces in Manchester are reminiscent of those in Sheffield!

They had a big lighting rig and rain rig hanging off a crane over my back yard. Some photos.

I could very much recommend "A Small Light" on Disney+. Tells the story of Anne Frank from the perspective of the brave people who hid her and her family.
