Title: Bonkers
Description: new comedy with Lisa Tarbuck
IMO - January 14, 2007 12:34 PM (GMT)
Just heard Oliver Chris being interviewed on Capital Radio this morning for a new comedy called Bonkers.
In fact they started off by saying that although Green Wing had now finished fans need not despair as Oliver Chris who played opposite Statham as Boyce, was staring in a new show called Bonkers............. etc. etc.
I can't remember the exact words, but Oliver Chris then said I get to play a married man with two children who is an uptight homosexual. The exact opposite to what I am. It's the sort of part that doesn't very often come up, so I had to do it.
I haven't a clue which side this is going to be on, or when. Hopefully someone else will :)

QueenGW - January 20, 2007 10:00 AM (GMT)

QueenGW - January 23, 2007 10:22 PM (GMT)

xjessx - January 23, 2007 10:27 PM (GMT)
I'll watch it!!! You never know it could be great!
The only seems to be crap on at the moment!!
And well you get to see oli!
Dr. Baroline Trodd - January 24, 2007 06:09 PM (GMT)
I think it's worth a look to see our Boycie as an 'uptight homosexual'
I always thought that Oli was never given enough to do in GW so it'll be nice to see his versatility

IMO - January 27, 2007 04:24 PM (GMT)
It's not on Wednesday, it's on Thursday. It's going to clash with the last part of Five Days, I'll have to record it.
Apparently this is ITV's answer to Desperate Housewives, but naughtier. Now I'm sorry but by no stretch of the imagination can you compare Lisa Turbuck with the glamorous ladies of Wisteria Lane :rolleyes:
QueenGW - January 27, 2007 04:48 PM (GMT)
ahahaha
erm yeh sorry i got the day wrong :(

swissluvagirl - February 5, 2007 04:29 PM (GMT)
Can youtube help you out?
QueenGW - February 6, 2007 07:25 PM (GMT)
just randomly
read a bonkers review and it said something like
'the only reason for the excellent oli chris (of the brilliant green wing) is in this is if he has suddenly acquired a large mortgage!"
so thats gd in some ways!
