Material Girl

[TurnerPrize]

Is anybody else watching this? It seems to be exactly as you would imagine it but a bit less good, yet i am quite hooked. I'm liking the cast a lot.

Why is it on at 8 though? It can't be as Footballers Wivesy as it probably needs to be before 9. Also Lenora Critchlow has already said SHITE and ARSE, which i did not know was allowed at such a time.

Oh my god i saw you do that tag samuel :evil:

What's the baddy in it like, the delightfully named DERVLA? She always seemed a bit anodyne to play a cut throat glamour hag. I do intend to watch but clashing with the 8pm Emmerdale has put paid to THAT so it's iplayer for me.

DREADFUL. Very wannabe Footballer's Wives

But that's her from SUGAR RUSH, then? I was wondering who it was

[Sild]

Y'know, it was a right load of OLD TOOT








I quite liked it :D

They really need to work on the characters though, most of them were dreadfully wafer thin. Dervla Kirwan was very underwhelming too. For now, it's running on the charms of Michael Landes and Lenora Critchlow (who was the best thing in it).

Lenora Critchlow is stun gorge :disco:

She looks best with straight hair though

There's no 't' in Crichlow you guys.

I watched this today. How fucking DIRE. Was it based on Fashion Babylon in the same way Hotel Babylon is based on, erm, Hotel Babylon?

It was amazing to see Izzy off Hollyoaks and the poledancing TEARAWAY from Family Affairs getting some work.

[Jark]

I could only get through 15 minutes of this. £6m my arse! It looked like sub-BBC3 fodder. Honestly awful. Even the token gay wasn't believable. An entire series can't rely on ONE actress to be enjoyed.

[TurnerPrize]

SOZ but i really quite love this. Well i won't cry when it's axed or anything but i do like everyone and care about their frothy little lives. It needs more Dirvla Kirwen though.

As lowest common denominator 8 o'clock BBC1 dramas go i find it WAY better than Waterloo Road.

It's not a patch on The House of Eliott

SACRILEGE.

[Mr Betty Draper]

THIS IS SO SO SO BAD.

Seriously, why is this shit on tv. And if it absolutely HAS to be why isn't it on BBC3?

[Halli]

I am just watching this for the first time now

I love the mixed race girl from SUGAR RUSH - as said earlier she looks much better with straight long hair though.

[Halli]

This is pretty crap... and I wonder if it is done by the same people that did Hotel Babylon, it's shot in the same way.

[Halli]

Oh it's the gorgeous barristers clerk from This Life

He's got old :(

[Mr Betty Draper]

I honestly can't believe how bad it is. And for a show solely based around fashion and design the clothes and ensembles are positively HORRID.

[monsta]

I am ashamed to say I watch this pile of toot but I don't enjoy it one bit.

The girl who looks like a brunette Paloma Faith is RUBBISH, the not-very-convincing gay in a bowtie is EXCRUCIATING and the less said about the man who was too crap to play Jimmy Olsen in The New Adventures Of Superman THE BETTER.

It's just like one of those 5.10 CBBC filler 'dramas' that they would put on in between Grange Hill and Byker Grove.

[Sild]

I've missed every episode since the first, but I can't say I'm that pained about it.

And if any more proof were needed that this is headed straight for the dumper, the final episode in a couple of weeks has been shunted to a graveyard slot.

That is exactly what it reminded me of! Or some flop UK show from T4, like that 'Frank' girlband thing a few years back.

I can't quite believe it is on BBC1 at 8pm

[Jark]

Let me just say

NO FUCKING WAY did this cost the beeb SIX MILLION :D
