A Touch of Cloth

Anyone seen the trailers for Sky 1's "A Touch of Cloth"

It looks superb. Just the trailer has me laughing hysterically, and penned by Charlie Brooker, its probably going to be massively entertaining.

Not sure if it's a series or a one-off spoof - it looks like the sort of idea that might not work as a whole series.

Can't wait for this.

I've seen the trailers and I'll definitely be watching. I'm a big fan of stuff like The Naked Gun and Airplane so it looks like this will be right up my street.

I didn't know it was a Charlie Brooker project until a couple of days ago, but it made me even more certain I'd be watching it.

"the bodies keep washing up cloth" hahaha

I'll definitely be watching, it looks brilliant!

The bit with the door and the brick wall behind it!

That's my favourite bit

I saw the advert for the first time yesterday, the tv was on in the other room and I thought it was serious. I heard the name was Touch of Cloth and wondered if Sky had gone mad. Caught the advert again and it looks brilliant, will definitely be watching. I didn't even realise it was Charlie Brooker until reading this thread!

I think the first trailer was mocked to look like a serious show - because the first time I saw it a few weeks back, it had none of the really funny bits in it. Just a few of the subtle ones. Because I remember thinking, like you, that it was a terrible name for a TV show and looked ridiculous I now see that was the intention, which is brilliant in itself.

" It look's like a Crime scene in there "

the bit with the wall though thats brilliant

Starts Sunday at 9pm. I can't wait!!

Awesome.
I'll set the TiVo!

Does anyone know how many episodes the series will be ?

I have set up the Sky planner to record it Sunday at 9pm and it says New series episode 1 of 2 , and i noticed episode 2 of 2 is on Monday at 9 pm .

Series link it, Kenny.

Problem solved!!

Wife already is recording 2 programmes at 9 on monday i think one of them may fail

well just sneakily erase what she is recording, and then blame the box

You're coming apart at the seams Cloth.

Can't wait. Love Charlie Brooker!

Just watched "The Making Of" special on Sky Anytime, and you get to see some scenes that aren't on the trailer and it just got even more brilliant.

Watched the 1st episode lastnight , so many funny bits i lost count . They just took the p... out of everything it was great .

Just watched it now.

Brilliant, just brilliant!

Great, loved it!

Somebody involved is clearly a fan of Teachers as well, half expecting Andrew Lincoln to turn up.

Echo what everyone has said so far, absolutely fantastic. There were so many funny moments, even the little things like when DC oldman randomly jumps over the bonnet of the police car outside the police car. And Cloth getting sayings mixed up like 'Lets light some shed on this'

Very clever so far and can't wait to watch the second part.

I liked the guy who played Kurt in Teachers doing his policeman on the scene speeches.

"He's never been found dead before, so this is certainly out of character."

Yeah, that was probably the best part I thought.

"It's like a crime scene in there."

'public appeal?'

'Not for me'

......

'I haven't laughed since the night my wife died'

'Why did you laugh when your wife died?'

Just some of the lines so far

I love how every time his name is said, it's always a pun related to 'Cloth' as well. I wonder how long the writers can keep that up.

For any fans of Charlie Brooker, I just found out Black Mirror has had a second season confirmed which is great.

Didn't like it. Thought the humour was obvious and way too contrived.

This had me rolling on the floor laughing. John Hannah was fantastic, the part where he was watching Oldman interigate the suspect and walked in to the room with an erection was priceless. Must have been so hard to keep a straight face.

I watched both episodes lastnight and I absolutly loved it, it had me and the missus in stitches, the dirty coroner was brilliant

"Its not the first time ive stood here with a dripping pu$$y...is it Jack"

"You couldn't have done anything Jack!"
"What if we hadn't stopped at Nando's on the way?!"

"It's time to put everything on the table....Cloth"
----------------------------------------------------
Cloth - "I don't believe in computers"

Oldman - "But they do exsist Jack"
-----------------------------------------------------
Cloth - "Tell my laptop not to wait up"

It had me howling. Especially when Boss was reading his evidence report in the court.

----------

OldMan - Cloth, wait! You live that way!

WAIT, Cloth!!

Cloth - For f***'s sake!

Apparently there will be two more Touch of Cloth stories, forming a trilogy. I imagine that means there will be four more episodes.

I spent the entire first episode trying to work out what it reminded me of, and then it finally hit me at the start of the second one...Airplane!

I've only seen the first of the two - but there was a very deliberate nod to Airplane with the coffee comment. I think it was something like:

"I take my men like I take my coffee; bitter."

Yeah, I noticed that. Weirdly still took me a bit to make the connection that it was a very similar style to Airplane with gag after gag. The strength in that type of comedy is that if a joke is poor it moves on quickly enough for it not to matter.

Loved it funniest thing i have watched for ages .

Anyone know when it's on next ?

Unconfirmed at the moment.

The erection bit was brilliant, the coroner is hot and i like her one liners

any idea when its on next?

It's back on the 26th August at 9pm on Sky 1


that's a long time to wait

Great, I was worried that it'd just get stuck in development hell.

Gives us time to re-watch the first series though Kenny.

that is so funny , i have still got the first series on my sky planner i will have to watch it again

Downloaded and watched this on the recommendation of you lot
Good work fellas...loved it!

Oh and SURANNE JONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First episode of series 2 was amazing!

Loved the first episode. The meal scene, filled with sexual innuendos had me in tears.

I saw almost all of it, until that meal scene. I was watching it with my parents and it just got all too uncomfortable. I think I'll watch alone...

Can't believe it's just the two episodes  

I was out Sunday night so missed the first episode, does anyone know if its repeated before the second show?

It may be on sky anytime or sky go?

Looks like it's on Sky Go, just need to register my account with it.

Thanks mate
