The Bill

[anotheoldgit]

We have had a question criticising Dev & co in Coronation Street, without anyone crying racist.

So here goes what about that Crime Scene Examiner (Eddie Olosunje) in the Bill.

He is pathetic, he just seems to be hanging around waiting for the cue, so he can speak is three lines.

[Postdog]

Not exactly CSI is he!

Anyway you're point was?

[dot.hawkes]

If an actor can act he is an actor, if he can't he's a rubbish actor, doesn't matter where his ancestors came from, I mean, look at the guy who used to cook on crossroads, now there was a terrible actor, was he called shooey mcfee?

[Francis Asis]

The guy who played Shooey Was in the greatest film ever made - The Great Escape. He was fine in that. Sometimes bad acting is actually down to a bad director.

I always remember a comment made by Jasper Carrott about the actor who played Benny in Crossroads.
He said "he is so good he must either really be that stupid or he's a blooming good actor, and if he's a blooming good actor what on earth is he doing in Crossroads?"

im mixed up why is the title to this question called the bill but then it says we have a question critizing dev in corrie ???????????

[osprey]

What annoys me most about Eddie is that every time he is on screen I have to use subtitles to understand what he is saying. Why don't the directors / producers / anyone else realise that his diction is awful?

Because the question is about the Bill.

The leading paragraph that you mistakenly read actually said,

'We have had a question criticising Dev in Coronation Street.

This was an introduction into the actual question about the Bill.

Any clearer now????????????
