Episode 1 - The Nudie Man - 11/01

Obviously "Say it now" and "Bloomsday" expect perfection in everything... The Covies is no worse than most of the crap on RTE. Only that millions of tax payers money wasnt wasted on The Covies.

It's forum etiquette to quote and refute. You misunderstood me, I wrote "...quoting others opinions", as in substituting opinionated quotes for their own.

But nevermind my argument in this post, I'm sure you'll go on with more confused and idiotic retorts involving more question/exclamation marks then required, further revealing your profound stupidity.



Aren't you a clever boy?

So far, i've realised I'm arguing against a roomfull of people who find it difficult to defend their atrocious film.




Actually no. You are so awfully biased to this film, that you won't accept my viewpoint on a bad shot, however you accept the compliments of the poster in this thread, whose only experience is of WATCHING LOTS OF TELLY!




If I went apple scrumping with you, yet I had no experience of picking fresh apples, you wouldn't allow me to criticize how you picked the apples (even after you fell on your arse and the apples went everywhere! Oh no!) because only someone like you, who has had years of scrumping experience would know the mechanics of scrumping.

I find this bizarre.




If a man spent 10 hours a day eating his own faeces, and worked hard, I mean really hard to gobble up that **** day in and day out, am I disrespecting him in saying he shouldn't be eating **** in the first place?

Alright there buddy, lets chill out on the disect and quote each line routine.

I'm one of the actors in The Covies. You wouldn't have seen much of me yet, but that's irrelevant.

I'm going to try avoid the temptation of spending any more time than I'm bothered with wasting on responding to your ****e - just scanning up to the top of the page here I see you've come up with some classy analogies where you talk about people eating their own faeces. Now, I'm going to guess that they sounded a little cleverer in your head. So, perhaps - when you respond to this post with another lovable anecdote you might like to think of something else, and then maybe, y'know, just proof read it so you don't sound like a complete and utter retard.

The reason I'm bothering to reply to you is nothing due to your opinion of the production. It's your attitude, plain and simple. Arguing like a child throwing his toys out of the pram - it's pathetic. I honestly can't bear to read half of what you write - but I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's the same childish ****e all the way through.

In so far as that opinion of yours is concerned, I actually agree with you on some levels. I thought the first episode was rather weak and underwhelming overall - there were some sound issues and in some cases I wasn't liking the acting. Though, with this being a soap... and one filmed with all the constraints that you seem so intent on ignoring, it is granted that it will need to find its roots. That said, I felt the potential was always there, and the plot and introduction to the story itself, I found engaging.

Since that first episode though I feel more at ease. The 2nd one smoothed over some of the niggles which had initially bothered me - and I'm happy to say that I was actually very impressed with the most recent. I'm very quick to slate anything which I'm involved in, and I can honestly say that I couldn't find anything worth a critics note.

Len has said already, his job requires criticism. He'll take any criticism you give him. It's just when that criticism is delivered by a ranting clown over the internet - it gets a little hard to palate.
I'd say the fact he hasn't decided to ignore you or told you what you deserve to hear just goes to show that as fact.





I'll remain anonymous for now, but I'd like to say well done to you Len. You've created something to be proud of, and I really am delighted to have been a part of it.
I really was impressed with todays episode, and I'm looking forward to what's to come.
