Sunshine

Please tell me - why did I watch the third and final episode of 'Sunshine'?

Why on earth did I stick with the most disappointing sentimental schmaltzy slushy series that's been on the beeb for years?

How could I bear to see King Theoden of Rohan (aka Yosser Hughes) reciting those boring war stories to his too good to be true chubby grandson. It made the Werther's Originals advert look edgy.

How could I subject myself to another dose of alleged Courtney Love lover Steve Coogan with his Hollywood teeth and artificial tears?


It was yet another example in my life of 'The Triumph of Hope over Experience'.

I'd rewatched my Early Doors DVD again recently and I still found it wonderful.
Phil and Nige the coppers are still my comic heroes.

I'm very loyal.

I’d forgotten that James McAvoy (now a superstar) was in the first series. He progressed from Early Doors to Shameless as did Maxine Peake who later became Myra Hindley and John Prescott’s girlfriend. And of course our esteemed ex deputy PM was played by the stout landlord who is now advertising our soon to be extinct Post Office.

Tommy in the corner passed through Corrie as Sinbad’s dad before ending up with the only funny part in Sunshine.

The only thing you can say for Sunshine is that it drew attention to gambling addiction which probably destroys as many families as Alcoholism.

But if you live in Stockport what else is there to do?
