This Is Going To Hurt - Bbc

[Ken4155]

Watched the first 3 episodes of this last night and find it quite amusing in parts, poignant in others. Not for the faint-hearted - a few gory scenes with lots of claret. Language will put some of you off watching, as will gay scenes, i'm sure, but it's a decent watch, imho.

[Sqad]

Yes......we have to have our gays represented don't we.

Mrs sqad convinced me it was worth watching.

Entertaining is my comment.

[Ken4155]

Sqad, as it's based on the autobiography of gay author, comedian and ex doctor Adam Kay, the representation of gays can hardly be avoided :-))

[Sqad]

ken.....LOL.....quite.

[anneasquith]

I liked it . Sqad, disregard the ( gay) bits. You would identify with some of it .

[Mamyalynne]

A good watch so far.

[Patsy33]

One to watch soon. Thanks.

[Vagus]

I enjoyed it, other half thought it boring. I particularly liked the sarcastic responses, and the senior nurses comments to the doctor.

[gingejbee]

We watched the first episode and enjoyed it...will watch the remainder (7 in all) as and when.
I've seen several things (TV and films) with Ben Wishaw in - he is always a good watch.

[Patsy33]

Ben Wishaw is a great actor.

One of the best things we have watched for a good few years. Ben Wishaw is amazing. Watched three episodes last night and decided it might be sensible to go to bed at 2.00am. Expect to do the same tonight.

[pat2604]

Perhaps not the best thing to watch if you are pregnant!!!

[anneasquith]

Oh….. you pregnant Pat ?

[pat2604]

Anne, if I was at 74 I might make a great deal of money!!! And then I'd give the child away!!

[Ken4155]

Watched the last few episodes last night. Quite enjoyed the entire series, though i doubt there will be a second. Unless, of course, it is not based on his personal diaries. Fingers crossed:-)

[pat2604]

We watched the last 4 episodes last night too, Ken. I think might I might treat myself to the autobiography.

[piggynose]

Has anybody on here read the book? I downloaded it recently and just wondered if it was any good

[gingejbee]

On Amazon, it has 82% 5-star reviews and 12% 4-star...that darn-good going for any book!

[pat2604]

Just ordered the book!

The newbie poster at 12:00 yesterday posted spam on another nearly 3-year-old thread. I did report it but it's still there.
