[lace-chat] The Bill/Roberta Taylor

2005-03-16 Thread Jean Nathan
Thought David would like to know that in the current edition of the "Radio
Times" - one of our radio and TV listings magazines - Roberta Taylor tells
how much she (Real me) differs from Gina Gold (TV me):

Favourite Tipple:
Real me - a good sancerre
TV me - neat whisky

Perfect Day:
Real me - a walk in the snow in northern Canada
TV me - York Hall for a boxing match

If I were invisible for a day I'd:
Real me - Eavesdrop on people's conversations
TV me - Go into the men's changing room at York Hall

Favourite TV:
Real me - 'University Challenge' - I shout "nine" or "yellow" to every
science question, which is often right!
TV me - 'Inspector Morse'. It's classy detective drama with old-school
police methods.

Dream holiday:
Real me - A ship going through the Norwegian fjords and looking up at the
mountains
TV me - Driving around Cuba - she would love the culture and the music

In five years time I'd like to be:
Real me - Playing a female Inspector Morse.
TV me - Fit and healthy after a cancer scare.

Gee David, You are a long way behind in the episodes you seee.  The sleaze 
bag is still around and still undetected.  We have had yet another fire at the 
station and more police deaths.  it seems to me it is almost a death sentence 
being posted there :-) and our "willing suspension of belief" is stretched to 
breaking point.  Do you *really* want to know more than this?

[lace-chat] The Bill - Again

2005-03-16 Thread David Collyer
Dear UK Friends,
I've been trying really hard not to ask. But "The Bill" is up to another 
crucial point here and I can't stand the suspense any longer.

Cameron has just caught the cab to Heathrow to fly back to Sydney. Please 
tell how Kerry deals with Gabriel and just how do they get rid of that 
sleeze bag? I'm sure he's the serial rapist - no? I reckon he's 
worse than Kathy ever was :)

Put me out of my misery

[lace-chat] The Bill

2004-10-20 Thread Jean Nathan
The Bill is on tonight, and the write-up for this episode in the listings
magazine I buy says

"I've written 'This is MAD' at the top of the page. I've underlined it too.

Actually, although there is a big shock right in the dying moments, there's
little here that's actually out of the norm for this increasingly bonkers
police soap.

But what the heck - if you take The Bill on that level, you can't fail to
enjoy the increasingly overheated atmosphere at Sun Hill nick, where just
about everyone seems to have something nasty to hide. And not only does
everyone appear to have slept with everyone else, ...
(then describes the events in the episode)"

So looks like everyone's in agreement about the way the content is going.
Still I expect David will love Roberta no matter what, won't you David? It's
still a better role for her than her previous one in Eastenders.

For those not familiar with English slang - 'bonkers' means mad, stupid,
silly and 'the nick' is the police station.

My elderly in-laws loved the Bill but are also fed up with the overemphasis 
of sex, etc., in the story lines, they too would love to see more police 
action that doesn't involve the bedroom.

DH used to watch every episode of The Bill, and he thought it was one of
the best ever police drama on TV, and even I used to watch it, and that's
a compliment indeed, as I'm usually more inclined to read or write
letters, or even make lace!
However, we stopped watching it last year, when the subject of the series
changed and became so terribly daggy and sexy and non-police oriented. We
get so fed up with steamy stories about everyone love affairs and sleeping
arrangements!! And you get the full spectrum, man-woman, woman-woman,
man-man, man-woman-man, etcSoon, we'll be into child pornography on
the screen!

Obviously the writers have run out of ideas for good police action stories
and are resorting to sex to keep their show on air. Well, it's not
succeeding with us! Give us back the good old days where policemen and
women went on the beat and actually did some worthwhile work every day!!!
If this new series reflects what our police really acts like, I want to
stop paying taxes to support them!

[lace-chat] "The Bill" Again

2004-10-15 Thread David Collyer
Dear Friends,
You may recall some months back we had a discussion about what's been 
happening on "The Bill". Well obviously the UK were far ahead of us when I 
went to their Homepage.

I actually sent my first ever "fan mail" to Roberta TAYLOR (alias Gina 
GOLD) and of course never got a reply, which was disappointing at the time 
but I got over it. HOWEVER! the day I arrived home from hospital, 
there was a letter from the UK in my letter box, simply addressed to "David 
Collyer, Ballarat, Australia"

Now we are a city of some 80,000 people but it found me. It was THE most 
beautiful photo of Roberta in her cop's uniform, personally autographed to 
me. I emailed her back last night and actually included my phone number :) 
Who knows, she might even ring???

All helps me feel like a kid again - even though I did tell her my real age.
Love
David
