1393078 2015-01-26 07:50:00 When a TV host and his producer score an interview with Kim Jong-un, who's a fan of their show, the CIA asks them to assassinate the dictator.

1:52, of which I watched 0:30 of it, before I decided I had more to do with my life than watch even more banal American schoolboy humour laced with copious expletives.

Understandably Kim Jong-un was upset, but perhaps he was irate at being lampooned not very cleverly and so very clumsily.

:yuck:

Where did I go after giving the flick to the Netflix film? A new series update of the 70's sitcom "Open all Hours" is on BBC on demand, entitled "Still Open all Hours". Arkwright has snuffed it and croaked his last, so the shop is now run by Granville and his son the product of an illicit one night stand years ago. The plot is still corny, the jokes sometimes weak, the sexist jibes so last century, and Nurse Gladys Emanuel still the object of Granville's unrequited love.

But at least it's good basic uncomplicated humour that isn't there for some political motive. :)

Had no Idea open all hours was that old or that they'd made a new series. Will have to track that down thanks.

It was Arkright who was chasing Nurse Gladys Emanuel, not Granville. Granville had his own girlfriends.

Arkwright is a pragmatic, miserly man with old fashioned values, whose world seems to stop at his shop door, except for his uncontrollable lust for Nurse Gladys Emmanuel (Lynda Baron), which may prompt him on occasion to wander across the road, usually with a ladder, to gain access to her bedroom window. Arkwright is a devious, and mildly dishonest character, who has many crafty tricks to try to persuade a customer to leave his store having bought at least one thing, and will avoid spending his own money at all cost.

My bad! :D
