I watched episode one of Prince of Thieves with Chris Barrie and wanted to die by the tenth minute October 29, 2017 at 3:21 pm #223436 Pete Part ThreeParticipant Are you sure it wasn’t Maid Marian and her Merry Men with Danny John Jules? October 29, 2017 at 5:38 pm #223437 Ben SaundersParticipant No, it was Chris Barrie doing an incredibly poor Scouse accent despite clearly being able to do a pretty convincing Scouse accent. October 29, 2017 at 6:53 pm #223440 RubberParticipant A PRINCE AMONG MEN! That was so atrocious on so many levels. October 29, 2017 at 7:15 pm #223441 siParticipant I still have every episode of both Prince Among Men and Captain Butler on VHS. The tapes are in the bottom of a box in the boxroom and haven’t been watched in a while, but they are there. October 29, 2017 at 7:16 pm #223442 siParticipant Gah, missed it. It’s gone now. Shame. Michelle Gomez, sounded interesting. October 29, 2017 at 7:45 pm #223443 LilyParticipant Gone? I watched it this afternoon and it still seems there to me. Maybe it’s just cached my end or something. Anyway, it was … interesting I guess. At first it was odd watching Gomez as she seemed to have pretty much the same performance as when in Dr Who. I don’t actually know her from anything else. Likewise I only know Natalie Casey from the 2 pints of lager thing, and again it was the same performance. Margolyes was great as normal. There were plenty of laughs, but it seems a pretty delicate subject to base a sitcom around. Even made me cry nearer the end, although pretty much everything can make me cry. I’d guess it never went any further as there was too high a risk of causing upset. October 29, 2017 at 7:51 pm #223444 Pete Part ThreeParticipant #He’s a winner, he’s a star, he’s a prince. A Prince of Thieves.# October 29, 2017 at 8:21 pm #223446 siParticipant Well, I am on my phone, so it could have something to do with that I suppose. But it won’t play in browser or on YouTube app. October 29, 2017 at 9:57 pm #223448 Ben SaundersParticipant Works fine on my PC, viewing for the first time RIGHT NOW. October 30, 2017 at 9:29 pm #223462 Taiwan TonyParticipant >#He’s a winner, he’s a star, he’s a prince. A Prince of Thieves.# Hahaha.

At least not to the ears of people familiar with scouse accents. Don’t get me wrong; he’s an excellent mimic, and truly talented at doing voices. But while he can sort of ‘echo’ Craig very well (Queeg), the accent doesn’t sound remotely genuine. He’s still better at it than Robert Carlyle in ‘The 51st State’, though. November 1, 2017 at 7:34 pm #223508 LilyParticipant Did anyone else actually watch or have an opinion about the actual topics of this thread. November 1, 2017 at 7:36 pm #223510 LilyParticipant Urgh, I actually need to proof-read my actual posts when the actual edit button doesn’t actually work. November 1, 2017 at 7:37 pm #223512 Ben SaundersParticipant He’s better at it than Craig Charles is these days. November 2, 2017 at 10:08 am #223551 Toxteth O-GradyParticipant Yeah, I realised immediately after I made that post that I should’ve also added “Mind you, Craig Charles can’t do a convincing scouse accent anymore either”.
