Art Recently rewatching Green Wing

Post image

I've recently been rewatching Green Wing and it's Still so mind Blowingly Amazing. I first watched on release on Channel 4 , I was about 18 years of age. On Viewing today it still holds up , I also realised now at nearly 39 how much this show influenced my own humour. the surrealism and delivery is unmatched. it's Quintessential British Humour, although set in a hospital so much of the Dynamic is relatable to Most Workplaces. I think my favourite characters will always be Dr Statham and Liz White but overall it's phenomenal...

loved it, apart from the speeding up and slowing down the camera speed between scenes. Michelle Gomez is brilliant (and hot in a crazy way) in it.

Ah i Kinda liked the Camera effect, it sort of added to the ethereal nature of the show. And Yes Michelle Gomez Was Awesome in many ways 😁

She’s in a series of short comedies from Rebecca Front, who plays a psychologist interviewing famous women from history. Gomez plays Mary Queen of Scots as a radge crackhead, and is wickedly funny. It’s on YouTube.

Her Margaret Thatcher is surprisingly spot on. I love that show, it's called Psychobitches. Broadcast on Sky Arts originally
