• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading. Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long. It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure. The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format. Thank you though for all the memories Phil Sumbler Owner, jackarmy.net

I don't follow acting, but why in a North of Ireland show did they have an American actress in the lead role ? (I know they had an English person in Derry Girls but that was only too abuse him, not been funny but it was), and now apparently she is playing Maggie in the Crown, what is that all about ?, does she live over here or something.

It’s called acting Tramp.

They pretend to be other people.

I've found out the answer now, search engines are marvellous things, she apparently lives over here and was involved with somebody in the industry over here, I thought it must have been something like that.
 
Meanwhile, in this weeks instalment of Dixon of Dock Green......

Being as Dazzler is so far behind the curve maybe I could recommend Juliet Bravo also.

We watched a film called The Personal History of David Copperfield last night, tramp. If American actors playing British characters confuses you I’d suggest you stay away from it. Some of the casting in that will short circuit your brain. Cracking film mind.
 
The Blessed Gillian is also very foxy in Sex Education on Netflix. The show in general is well worth a watch.

She's basically mid-Atlantic rather than American or British. Spent most of her childhood over here, most of her early adulthood over there. Now she's back and fore and her accent switches depending upon where she is.

She’s crap as Thatcher mind. Scenery chewing all over the place.

Not seen it. Watched the first couple of episodes of Season One of The Crown. It's OK, but didn't grab me.

We took the grandchildren to an astonishingly bad version of Dr Dolittle about a year ago in which all the main characters except one, including Robert Downey Jr in the title role, are bizarrely Welsh involving well known actors employing terrible Welsh accents. Even more bizarrely, the only non Welsh main character was an upper crust English sea captain played by Port Talbot boy Michael Sheen.

Amazing, nobody mentions the gorgeous aisling Bea as the nurse
It was a good show, most shows have a few less good series
Breaking Bad didn't, it was a high standard from the first episode to the last

I've been enjoying Better call Saul. I normally can't be arsed with box sets etc but this is gripping

Yeah that’s a pretty awful film. No idea what Downey was going for in that.

I like the Sherlock Holmes film he’s done with Jude Law. They’re very good. There’s a third one in the way.

Fair enough, apart from two smoking barrels, I didn't like any guy Richie movie but each to their own, they do have an entertainment value I guess

Leave him alone. He's still reeling that Mork was played by Robin Williams and not a proper Orkan.
