The Damned United - 10.35pm bbc2 - on again !

I've got it set on record T.L. even though I've  already seen it twice I'll watch it again. Michael Sheen is an absolutely brilliant actor.

Being a Forest fan I loved it first time round

But having watched it 4 times now its gotten very boring

Plus I wasn't old enough to remember the glory days of Forest, my only experience with Forest is being mainly a 2nd tier club, although we did have the giddy heights of finishing 2nd once.... in league 1

Billy Davies was the last good season about 6 years ago. majorly boring being a Forest fan.

I may record also it as I've seen it 2 or 3 times....

*...it also

Sheen married the US Jewish comic Sarah Silvermann....funy bird

*funny

fungi

Sheen was also superlative in Frost/Nixon. If any of have you not seen that yet I'd score it a very solid 8.5/10.

I was a big Leeds fan in the glory years 65-75, missed few home games.

Love this film. Seen it several times. Sheen in particular was superb. The other main characters were merely excellent.

Timothy Spall....great actor too

Excellent film. Sheen is superb.

Didnt portray johnny giles in a good light

Did watch it all in the end .....good ending with Bowie's Queen Bitch playing as they did a quick run through of what happened next.

I have been a Leeds fan since 6 yo so great to get an insight in what was going on then.

Remember Clough tearing into, I think it was Trevor Francis, on a TV show of the time and embarrassing him with some boorish remark. Didn't the whisky get him in the end?

brilliant

ARGHHHHHHHH!!!

Not on tonight!! 

Just as good watching on IPlayer.

Sheen is indeed a brilliant actor and was great as Clough and Frost as mentioned earlier in this thread, but his best performance, imo, was when he portrayed Kenneth Williams in the BBC production Fantabulosa.

If you haven`t seen it, it is well worth a watch.

Thanks Capt Jr.

I'll watch that. Love Kenneth Williams. I've read his diaries and seen all his clips on youtube. Fascinating man, and a rather tragic one too.

Probably the best raconteur ever, with the exception of Peter Ustinov.

No problem kenny. He was a troubled soul was KW.

An audience with Ustinov was very good. Great story teller.

His story about the toothless Sergeant Major in that was hilarious,tmm.

I have seen the Kenneth Williams film before and although it was very well acted it's not something I'd ever care to see again, it was rather dark and depressing I thought.

I seem to remember his father was abusive and there was a possibility KW poisoned him ?
