City Watch TV Drama

[Roz Mosis]

I've never been a fan of CSI personally. I'd much prefer it be a fantasy version of The Bill but with a lot more laughs

Here here. I think CSI is the kind of policing that Vimes HATES. I'd much prefer a British cop-drama approach. Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes is probably closer to the mark I think.

Vimes: "Fred. Fire up the Wagon".

Doesn't have quite the same ring as Fire up the Quattro!

Unless he's using ginger again.

So votes then guys and gals, Lets petition to have Tony play Vimes

 

[Tonyblack]

Well I'm about the right age and as cynical as Sam.

 

[meerkat]

Seconded!

[michelanCello]

Go, Tony!

I'm sorry, but I think I need help about the SFX video (here so you don't have to navigate upthread to find it), which we're trying to translate for the French fans, and there's a word I still can't understand after many listenings. At about 2:10, when Gavin Scott calls, he says the police station would need a special room for the what? the dead? the deaf?

 

[Tonyblack]

Pretty sure it's "the dead" - I'm guessing a morgue in A-M might be a busier place than most, with some corpses refusing to lay still.

 

[Tonyblack]

I just listened again and it's definitely "A special room for the dead".

 

[Anilori]

I thought it was the dead too, but I can hear a kind of sss sound at the end; maybe it's just a trick of the phone line. Thanks a lot!

(I feel like Susan in Soul Music. My grandfather is... deaf? You came all the way to tell me about hearing deficiencies?)

 

[The Mad Collector]

I've listened to it a couple of time now and agree with yourself and Tony it is 'dead'

OH THANK YOU Anilori!!!!!

I loved the comments under the clip too

 

[Anilori]

Someone had already posted it on this thread, actually, but I'm glad my, well, dead-deafness had a positive result

No I meant the over the top soooooooooooooooooooo excited postings under the clip .... seems we are not the only ones getting a little excited about this project.

I've been watching the first season of The Tudors and I've noticed this bloke: Steve Waddington
Okay, so he's forty odd and has brown eyes, but wouldn't he make a pretty decent Carrot? Just a thought.
Also from the first episode of the Tudors, Jon Pertwee's lad Sean could make a pretty good Vimes. Again, just a thought.

Yes yes yes! Sean Pertwee rules and would be the best Vimes, I take back all of my previous suggestions.
