National Treasure: Ch4 9pm

I thought it was reasonably good, will need to see how it pans out. Could go either way at the moment in terms of whether he's guilty. Quite surprised they named so many people rather than being general - referring to Angus Deayton and Jonathan Ross specifically. For a minute I was surprised they named Channel 4 in the section where he was complaining about being sidelined from his daytime quiz show, but just while I thought I was watching ITV. Fills a gap now that "One of Us" has finished.

I thought it was quite watchable, although the scene of him visiting his daughter was a bit strange... not really sure what it added to the plot.

Will be curious to see how this progresses.

I enjoyed it.

I suspect his daughter will have some kind or repressed/false memories.

[droopsnoot]

I'd agree, as she was describing her dream we're intended to think that perhaps there might be something in the accusations. Or it's just a dream.

An unreliable witness.

Tim McInnery always plays a borderline sinister baddie in whatever he's in, wouldn't be surprised if he's set it all up.

I thought overall it was quite watchable (compared with the other toot they have on tv). Will probably go downhill quickly though !!

Was looking forward to this however kept dozing off.

Watched it last night on catch up. Thought it set the scene well giving us an insight to what it must be like for a star (an obvious target) to be accused of all sorts of stuff, especially when he isn't squeaky clean.

[Smollet]

Quite enjoyed it so will watch the next episode.

[m444ttb]

So did he do it or not? Place your bets now.

[GetCarter]

Stop moving the fking camera!

Very plausible

A lot more atmosphere tonight IMO.

I didn't notice it in the first episode, but in last night's one the colours seemed very strange.
A lot of the scenes involving Robbie Coltrane and Julie Walters were tinted green or had lots of green in the background (gave a rather sickly impression) whilst the outside views of the ex-babysitters house appeared like the colour had been turned up to max contrast.
Anyone else notice this?

Yes, It reminded me a bit of Utopia, wide over-saturated outdoor shots. The Mrs remarked the colours looked funny within a couple of minutes of it starting, alnong with the nmarrow depth-of-field and constant moving/focusing of the POV, it looked like it had been filmed on DSLR's.

[jkh112]

Glad it was not just me.

A lot of that's just an annoying modern (well, not so modern now) trend that annoys me beyond reason.

I'm losing interest a bit now, but I'll stick with it, it's not as if there's anything else on at that time, and it's half over.

I thought Julie Walters put in a cracking performance last night especially when she rounded on their daughter and told her to get behind him / them.
