Ray Winstone has spoken about working with Guy Ritchie for the very first time on new Netflix series, The Gentlemen.

The eight-part series lives in the same universe as Ritchie’s 2019 film of the same name. Joining the Chris Evans Breakfast Show with webuyanycar, Ray spoke about how it represents his first collaboration with the director. “We had words, years ago. We had a little fall out,” he told Chris.

“I was going to do Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, and it didn't happen for whatever reason, and I thought he was in the wrong, they way he went about something, and he probably thought I was in the wrong.”

He continued: “Fisticuffs never came about, thank God. And so over the years, we kind of snubbed one another. But then, you grow up, and I've been watching his stuff and begrudgingly liked what he was doing. You don't want to like it, but you like it!"

On making up, he said: “We had this kind of little meet and we had a little cuddle, and we had a chat about it, and then he's a good guy.”

He added: “All those wasted years!


I did wonder why RW hadn’t featured in a GR film before.
 
So long then Larry, you long balled floor fucker 😭 it's been pretty pretty pretty good.

This Town
Decent watch and set in an era that most of us will identify with.
There’s a couple of sub plots tied in the main story and overall it held my attention far better than recent events on the pitch 🤨
 
Watching it at the moment and enjoying it despite tracks being played that hadn't been released at the time, Coventry station never being bombed, dates not lining up and a few other things that have Mrs H tearing her hair out.
Just found out that Coventry was bombed by the IRA in 1939. Everyday is a school day.

I enjoyed it. Enough interesting sub plots to make a couple more series, and, like you say, takes you back. Forget the anachronisms and fall into the story.

anachronisms, love that , I’d have said historical inaccuracies but that’s far better 👍
Rest assured I’ll not use it lightly but I will take credit if and when the opportunity arises 👌

I see comments like this regularly. I recall reading a Bernard Cornwell, from the last kingdom series. Loved it so much, that I devoured the series. Then came the TV series. Internet forums were full of scholars, decrying “ historical inaccuracies. Fact is, they are fiction based on history, not documentaries. I was already fascinated by the era, so knew that was the case. But, it motivated me to do more serious reading, which I wouldnt have otherwise. Same goes for This Town. Take it for what it is, enjoy it, and use it as a vehicle to find out more, if you wish.

Yeah I haven’t got a problem with it just saying I like the word anachronism 👍
 
Two episodes into Baby Reindeer, on Netflix, and it's really good.

British drama, based on real story, about an aspiring comedian being stalked.
 
Oh, dear, Blue Lights.
Noted for its personal characterisation and realistic story lines in which the Troubles never took centre stage, series two kicked
off with ten minutes of pointless mayhem. Luckily it calmed down to something we like.
What's the point of a bigger budget if it is spent on explosives and wrecking cars? :rolleyes:
