Tour de Pharmacy (2017 TV Movie)

Save time! Only watch the trailer - shows all the gags in 2"

[1/10 · 26 August 2023]

Why are HBO involved with this?

Wasted casting. One basic joke (repeated repeated repeated repeated) sooo many times. The drug addict Arm-strong, but legs weak (unless high on steroids) proudly getting into the film industry.

Anybody want to see him being a 'comedian' to encourage kids to be druggies to win medals?

Hope someone tries another mockumentary about professional cycling, this could(?) be good with a decent script - but this attempt is poor.

Aimed 15yr olds and those who still love Animal House/ Road Trip reruns from their youth - and also have a parent who watches just the one cycle race a year.

Even the gag (just the one) must have sent the cast comatose, explaining the short runtime.

Please try the idea again with a different scriptwriter, but with the same cast.

*You have been warned*

Dodger (2022– )

It's funny how many negative reviews appear for a Childrens tv show by adults, complaining about ethnicity, plot, acting and even make up of the child actors. There are many children who happily watch all manner of shows that do not stand up to a critical review.

If the kids like a harmless show - let them watch it.

If you like it as well - great, (But if you can't say nuthin' nice - don't say nuthin') Steve And I love Pratchett.

By coincidence, my favourite book is Dodger and I only wish there had been time to possibly start a series in the style of the Tiffany Aching series... (Though if they were produced by CBBC it would host a vast number of negative reviews!)
