    I'm afraid I had to give up on 'Staged', as the use of the 'f word' had become relentless and gratuitous. I'm pleased to see that it doesn't seem to get used on the Forum (or have I just been lucky?)

      No it’s not luck. We hosts do occasionally hit the big red button you know
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Also gave up on this. A lot of unnecessary f-ing (and c-ing) in the otherwise rather entertaining historical spoof "The Great".

          I just watched a short drama on Sky Arts about the exploits of two teenage lads in the East End. The swear words were about all I managed to understand of the dialogue!

            I think it's a great shame that the talents of 2 fine actors became increasingly wasted - it IS possible, you know, to present adult material without the excessive schoolboy use of 'adult' language.

              I don't understand why all the swearing's necessary. No acting talent is required. How is it funny? It's also really embarrassing to watch with other people.

                ... I still think Staged is a gem.

                Including the swearing. Quite a lot of people swear when they're angry and upset

                    We gave up after binge-watching the first three episodes of Staged2.
                    They should have gone out on a high with the original series, which was brilliantly done and very clever/witty.
                    Staged2 just seemed too contrived, and certainly not as clever.
                    IOVHO (O for our) of course!

                      .. yes, but that frequently and insistently?

                        Yes, including me. But it's not entertaining for the listeners, just tiresome.
