The Night Manager? Anyone?
Discussion
Enjoyed it, but I think I missed somethings:
1. Where did he get the drugs to sort out the casino fella?
2. How did he dry his clothes after the pool incident?
3. How did the guards miss those lads in the back of the mini bus?
4. What happened to the kid who's life he saved?
Hope you were all paying attention.

It's the Bond movie they should have made.
Completely agree. Slick production, some good humour, bit of intrigue, sneering bad guy. The Bond production team should be contacting the director/s immediately.
As brains out Sunday entertainment, it was unparalleled to most other things I have seen on terrestrial TV recently and the BBC should be applauded for once. It stayed consistent throughout too which was good.
More please!

Thought the intro imagery and score were very well done also...
Much as I like Hiddleston's stuff, he ain't no Bond.
Agree with the intro and music - like Bond but better Much as I like Hiddleston's stuff, he ain't no Bond.
I think he would be a good Bond (and this is obviously his pre-interview presentation to Eon Productions), I thought D.Craig would be a rubbish Bond but was proved wrong on that one.
Beg to differ. For £20,000,000 they shouldn't have left gaping plotholes and nicked lines from Apocalypse Now. Some errors ie, missing the three guys in the van, his clothes dry having drowned someone, his easy affinity (untrained) for murder - were ridiculous. Some of it was like a teenager was completing a GCSE in film direction. How about the looooong shots of Roper watching them at the bar whilst our hero caresses the lady's back? Oh puhleese! - It was directing by numbers not talent. A shame as it could really have been cracking.
Suave, debonair, British to the core, clever and charming...but totally unconvincing in a bare knuckle fight situation, or when he gets annoyed/angry.
As a baddy he worked well as he used his voice, 'evil-mind' and minions.....didn't have to take anyone down...in Thor/Marvel world he really needed his big stick.
Without it he's just a bit 'thin'...IMO

Anyone else think Roper being taken away in the truck was just like the end of 'The Long Good Friday'?
Yes, two pages back:popeyewhite said:
Finished it tonight. Lavish production. Reasonable acting from Hugh Laurie. Terrible screenplay and some sections made the suspension of disbelief almost impossible. The last scene in the police van was a straight rip off of The Long Good Friday, but was done appallingly.

I thought the 'nicked' Apocalypse Now reference was deliberate. Surely Roper would have watched the film at some point in his life.He wasn't untrained, he was ex-army so will have had a least some training in killing and incapacitating people
You'd be amazed what you can get away with in a dimly lit bar, even in front of husbands...

I was disappointed that the Eurofighter on the shopping list didn't get delivered
Along with the Vulcan or whatever other Cold War relic was on the list?A Eurofighter would be the last thing these type of people would want, I wish the writers/prop people had spent a little more time on that list, most of it was laughable.
