          Ah yes, but then Broadchurch wasn't trying to be funny. Unless I completely misunderstood it.....

                  Which has nothing to do with Count Arthur Strong.

                  And I agree with him on Vicious being homophobic. It reinforced all the stereotypes that the gay "community" are trying to get away from. It was like going back to the days of John Inman. How any self-respecting homosexualist could find it anything other than deeply offensive is beyond me.

                    I can live with that, Mr Pee - it's Political Correctness Gone Mad!

                    Care to give a compare/contrast between the Arts of John Inman and Larry Grayson, Mr Pee?

                        Delighted.


                        John Inman:- "I'm free!"

                        Larry Grayson:- "Shut that door!"

                          Where's the compare/contrast in that?
