Happy Days. It happened in 1940. May have been other times since. These days it would be unthinkable and probably even an embarrassment considering the money that was thrown and is being thrown at the place. There are plenty of ways for the system to keep the place full of customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That teaser was cringeworthy at best. Were the staff not told to be grown up and not perform for the camera ? What a 4king disaster. Still 6 episodes to be aired yet. It'll be all part of the, "IoM is a great place to Live" drive. Even for those on remand or duly sentenced. Anything to grow the population. Dig deep enough and you'll probably find a locate.im, Skelly and Thomas connection. Correct. Somebody somewhere in Government thought this was a good idea. These are the people we need to weed out from any form of responsibility. I dread the fall out from this crazy forking charade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a lot better for the island if they had a military style prison. You wouldn’t want to go there for a second time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 There seems an awful lot of people being handed community service these days. Has anyone n the community ever seen or heard of any being done to improve the Island. Picking up rubbish would be a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d be better off picking up rubbish too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those sent out to oversee the work they do have little or no authority and control over their charges and from what I've personally witnessed there's a lot of standing around smoking or general fucking around. Though I don't doubt that there's "human rights" to be observed and you're not allowed to speak harshly to the little darlings in case they get upset.

hissingsid Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 No, never seen them in action. Needs to be properly organised so that results can be seen otherwise a complete waste of time , and as the ones in charge are obviously being paid, money.

What was up with TT blues? Two weeks of fairly benign policing. Which is what it is. There was a lot more that happened that ended up on the cutting room floor. Couldn’t be used because of the short edit to air time and it was still subjudice. Haven’t watched the prison one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t watched the prison one Well, maybe? I just found it a bit cringeworthy in places, like the WPC having her hat nicked, 'where's me 'at', the bloke getting nicked due to the smell of cannabis coming out of his window seemed staged and funny as the PC made a feeble attempt at kicking down his door? PC Schumi seemed like a plastic scouser, maybe I'm too sensitive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you are saying, and a lot of that was down to what could be used within the ridiculously short edit time ITV gave the production company for a broadcast date. One big advantage was it being made by Raw Cut TV, who do programmers such as Police Interceptors. They are incredibly pro-police and don’t set out with an agenda, or crafty angle which can make you end up being undermined. dont know much about the company that made this one?
