People in film or TV who aren't in believable jobs, situations or relationships

Emmerdale for me. As small village in Yorkshire (I think) full of farmers going out with super models.

Murder She Wrote. An old writer surrounded by death that solves the murders her presence causes. The local police are incompetent and rely on her to solve the crimes.

CSI. They can pull the fingerprint of a bees balls from across the street using some computer tech vector that image, enhance enhance enhance got you.

Donald Trump.
I don't think I need to give an explanation.

Beyondgone

Every TV Cop ever with a big house and a flash car. Not a glimmer of finance/polyester to be seen.

steddyeddy

Doctors in any programme set in a hospital having more than 5 minutes to themselves and not being run off their feet for hours at a time.

Beasty

Star Wars seems a bit unrealistic/far fetched to me....

Friends. How were they able to afford those apartments in Manhattan, sure Joey didn't even have work half the time.

They never lock their cars when they exit them.

The cast of Friends. All happily living in 5,000 square foot apartments in New York City, while working as waitresses, part time actors, and museum attendants.

And they still find time to prick around for a few hours every day in the Central Perk coffee shop.
No no no this isn't right at all.

Didn't the Angela Lansbury have a house in West cork, definitely a missed opportunity for policing here.

The A Team ~ nobody ever got killed and BA was always easily drugged with a hamburger and put on a plane.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to scar you for life and reveal another Angela fact....

She once made a video for elderly people on the subject of how to relax and feel sexy into your old age. Here she is apparently instructing people how to masturbate in the bath.....

Penalty Points, She Wrote.

It would be easier to ask what people in film or TV are believable.

I've seen movies where women find Jack Black attractive.

And if you fecked them into your shed, they'd build a tank out of your old lawnmower. No one died in the explosions, they just flew a bit and got stunned, and they had them seriously ugly guns. The same ones in every show. Ugliest gun ever. The ugly guns used to bug me the worst.

Oh my...ahem.

Todd Gack

James Bond. The spy who tells everyone who he is.

Top Gun. A loose cannon pilot with an inferiority complex and Daddy issues repeatedly screws up and ignores strict safety protocols, conducts dangerous unauthorised flybys of the tower, ends up getting his navigator killed through sheer arrogance, but is then called up for a combat mission where he freezes in the middle of a dogfight due to a massive PTSD episode, yet recovers sufficiently to save the day as the enemy are sporting enough to allow him to recover first before attempting to blow him out of the sky.

Oh, and he finds time to bang a Navy contractor, which would probably be a breach of workplace relations.

Yeah he could be my wingman any time. Not...

No one ever needs a pee on TV either. I'm usually busting at crucial moments.

Jack Bauer never needed a toilet break or food break in 24. Some man..

A polish lad that painted my house recently was like that.

I watched Sylvester Stallone playing in goal yesterday in escape to victory. He saved a last minute penalty. Yeah Really.

Episode was 50 minutes long. So he had a 10 minute break every hour.

He broke his Hippocratic oath so many times he would have been struck off years ago.

72% of that ****e Ally McBeal was set in a jacks.

No one has to travel far for work and no matter how things are financially they always go to the local café for lunch. Drinking during your break isn't frowned upon. You can get back to fixing cars or sewing knickers after a drink in The Rovers.

That is definitely an English thing. I often see people having drinks at lunch time before they go back to work.

KungPao

Walter White as a drug lord...taking on cartels and all.

Great show, but a bit of a stretch.

How many bloody episodes of Columbo or Murder She Wrote did they make?, it seems to be a bottomless pit larger than the universe.:pac:

Tom Mann Centuria

Sick or injured in a UK tv programme? You're getting a single room. Doctors on daytime telly a prime example, oh, and reality of seeing your GP on same day as you ask for appointment? Zero. In Doctors, "why we have an appointment just freed up, come right on in."

Any 'cute' romcom where the guy persists with getting the girl, even after she has repeatedly turned him down. Eventually, she comes around to his 'quirky' personality and pure strength of character even if he does manage to find out her place of work, personal habits, and daily routine. Maybe even the odd late night visit to throw stones at her window to persuade her of his undying love for her.

In reality, you'd probably end up on a sexual offenders list and a barring order.
