The number of years on the estate against the release of Lock Stock is not a coincidence.

I enjoyed it too,

It's silly fun, lots of homages to his movies and I think the Travelling Community got a bit of an apology for Snatch.

Theo James giving an audition for Bond too, this speech and mannerisms are very Daniel Craig like to my eyes and ears.

I thought he'd make an excellent Bond or maybe Jack O'Connell

Also spotted actor who played Gus Fring from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, voice being the giveaway again.
And was said to of been into the Meth Business. Nice touch, also in the market to have an underground lab. wink

I was very sceptical about this, thinking Ritchie was just going to milk it for what he could get.

How wrong was I, absolutely fantastic, Ritchie certainly knows what his audience likes; full of subtle nuances that keeps you engaged. Its typical Richie, but that in itself, is unique, and why it’s so enjoyable.

I’ll still always see that drop of Jays’ poop running out of his nose…

Enjoying the series so far, and it has Ray
Winstone in it, which my wife finds agreeable.

It's him from the Inbetweeners movie isn't it? I just can't get past that in anything he does sadly.
He can't really act but the series is great so far.

I thought it was really good.
Vinnie as the gamekeeper was inspired, IMO.
I wonder though if I understood the reference about him always being there, teaching….Dad?

Thought it was obvious, he's the father of the pregnant daughter

First 3 for me. It's very good, but he's overdone the unlikely character talking like they've swallowed a dictionary thing.

Poor or just not your thing?

It would be easy to knock it but if this kind of thing entertains you then it's pretty much up there with other Ritchie stuff but can understand why someone wouldn't like it.

Why bother? If you don't like it, switch off. That's what I have akways done. Nothing is for everyone and everyone won't like the same things.

He's a bit of a one trick pony is Ritchie, don't you agree?

Imagine being worth 150m for telling Vinny Jones to be himself.
