I thought he inherited it too.

Ha, once again, I guess everyone's life is much more exciting then mine.

miles inherited some money (i surmise) but he's also rich from being a hotel 'magnate' or something.

magnates don't have hair like that.

The knee-jerk negativity on this thread is of course entirely predictable. What you all really want is your youth back!

no, what we all wanted was a decent programme!

Surely inherited lots of money* then became very poor again by being a shit hotel magnate?

Didn't he say his hotel chain was called "Hobotel"? Who the fuck would want to stay in something called "Hobotel"?! (actually, I'm guessing no-one, hence appearance of rubbish night-time bailiffs with an eye for antique chairs)


* Rich Dad, plus rich ex-wife (the latter either big ol' divorce settlement or big ol' life insurance policy, depending on what happened to Francesca).

Did no one, implausibilities aside, find it, y'know, fun?

Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, it was.

Fly-on-the-wall camera chick pointing out that it was no fun watching a bunch of cunts was the highlight, and was OTM.

the whole anti-fly-on-the-wall thing was very early 00s and while an interesting theme the 'non-involvement/involvement' thing with the girl belonged elsewhere and wasn't well done anyway.

x-post But you still watched it?

It was ridiculously This-Life-by-numbers

1) Egg is happiest when cooking, but still has no idea how to deal with his girlfriend (and now son)
2) Warren has "issues"
3) Anna is "complex"
4) Milly is neurotic
5) Miles is a twat

Give them all (Anna excepted) implausible careers, add an "edgy" (except it wasn't) "zeitgest-friendly" (except it wasn't) plot device (which didn't really work anyway since so much took place away from the reality TV lassie) and, hurrah, you have a cobbled-together-in-minutes TV show and Amy Jenkins is a bit more rich.

(I liked some of the nods to the old series, and some of the one-liners were nice, and the cast all fell back into character very quickly. But it was exceptionally unsatisfying)

Yes sometimes people watch crap telly.

Also, no-one has roffled at Warren's website yet?

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i liked the two of them in the audience for book launch thing. had potential. the rest of it seemed to be pointless argument after pointless argument.

i also liked camera girl's accent. and the one scene where she started recording warren taking overdose and which relied on you knowing the significance of an out of focus red led.

how long has cocaine come in little glass bottles? i'm out of touch with my druglord friends obv.
