I saw a trailer, and could have sworn it had John Craven in it. Is he?
The trouble with this sort of thing is that the writers spend about a month or 2 shadowing these people to get all the detailed background, and then feel they have to dump it into the script at odd moments (cf. Attachments).
It wasn't John Craven. It was oh what his name? He was in that football hooligan play 'The Firm' as Yeti. What is his name? Philip Davis, I think.
Looks like that guy out of that other thing. You know............JT Walsh. No, no.....Gary Busey.
Did you like 'North Square', Stuart O?
I've completely failed to watch it, merely through personal incompetence. The trailers look interesting though.
I liked The Cops, but not This Life or Attachments. Is that any guide?
Attachments is entertaining, but don't take any of it seriously.
I hear too many techies (including me) talking bullshit all day to go home and watch a bunch of actors doing the same. If they stopped trying to drop words like "IP stack" and "open source" into it I might watch it more.
Just working in an office makes me not want to watch Attachments. After spending all day there I don't really want to watch another one on TV.

This is similar to my feelings on 'This Life' - aren't there enough cunts about in real life without having to sit down and watch them on TV when you get home?
Exactly the problem with Big Brother
The writers on Attachments have been ordered to put less technical / computer crap in next series and more character driven stuff, pushing the internet background into... well, into the background.
That's because the geek speak has attracted exactly the audience profile you'd expect (20something computer boys) which isn't enough to keep the BBC2 viewing figures wallahs happy.
Watch that space...

Uhhh? What are they on at BBC2?
"Yeah lets make a drama about dotcom entrepreneurs. And make it really realistic. With all the right jargon and everything."
"Who will watch it though?"
"Oh I dunno. But I can't see any of those nerdy computer geeks being into a show all about people who work with computers..."
I mean, JESUS.
