What did you think of the Culture Show on BBC2?

[Klaatu]

I'd like to hear what peoples views are of the Culture show...shown on BBC2 on Sunday about the opening events in Liverpool.
I have some comments of my own,
but would like to hear others first!

I thought it was half decent. Culture Shows tend to concentrate on the unknowns and previosuly unseens so that girl author and the rapper from Toxteth got a good go on it. I liked the footage of Ringo, Wylie and the Farm.

Wasnt great to much time was spent on the two presenters, and as for that so called rapper ( hey der lar stole yer car drove it round sefton park and crashed it in der dark ) I bet his mates in Norris green and croxteth loved him

[julieoapw]

All in all, I thought it was quite good. Had it been about another city, I'd be tempted to make a trip there.

I thought it all looked very impressive until that Rapper appeared....

That rapper - - - - how awful !!

that stuff about robbing and crashing your car --- WHY WHY WHY did they let him on ???

That's ALL we need !!



Not that I mind rap - but for starters, they could have at least chosen a talented rapper .. and not one that reinforces the sterotypical thieving Scally

The rest of the show was ok.

This lad has a myspace page and some stuff on youtube, dont know if thats taking the piss about impending court appearances and screwing the dole but if it isnt someone may be made to look fairly stupid in future for booking him on. If he is a lad from a scally background though who is using a talent to do something useful with life rather than hanging round making others life a misery then good luck to him.

Thanks for the links Ste, but I couldn't stomach watching them.

To have that kind of representation of Liverpool when it's meant to be our finest hour ...



I give up !

The videos appear to be filmed around the Ingelnook pub (Ullet Rd.), Sefton Park (beneath the iron bridge), Aigburth Road subway.

[Ged]

One of the quotes below is incorrect:


1) Well he might claim we started the trackies and shell suits but I never had one.

2) Man Utd beat managerless Newcastle 6 nil last weekend, Jeeez, it was a bit hard on big Sam, even pregnant women get 9 months to deliver.

The Rapper ticked all the boxes for the BBC.
Not relevant to C of C, Liverpool or anything scouse, but the producers at the BBC would have said that he was representative of "culture".
Rapper, just put the correct letter in front of the R and that would best describe him

[Ged]

I don't know why they didn't have Liverpool presenters though instead of one from Manchester and one from Sunderland.
