Truly living the dream. 😂

Everybody knows your final destination has to be Mornington Crescent

nicelynicelyjones.bsky.social•65 days ago

"Get those field units from Waterloo HQ to breach in Baker Street in ten minutes!"
"But you're in Nidd."
"Damn! OK, have the Police clear Park Lane and we'll go that way!"
"That's a diagonal."
"That leaves us only one option."
"We can't - they'll be expecting us!"
"We must. Mornington Crescent!"

simonwjohns.bsky.social•65 days ago

Nicely done Mr Nicely

mikebhoy.bsky.social•66 days ago

Fight the good fight ✊🏻

pbowker7.bsky.social•66 days ago

That bit when he gets the Northern Line Edgware Branch but then gets off at High Barnet fucked the whole fictional universe really.

joebarton.bsky.social•66 days ago

Left via exit 2 at Piccadilly Circus but was seen emerging outside the trocadero. I put my foot through the telly and jammed my Oyster card into my eye

travistagr.bsky.social•66 days ago

I started watching Black Doves two nights ago. Two episodes in and I’m hooked.

Great work, Joe. You should be proud 👍

fionadolman.bsky.social•66 days ago

Weird coincidence but my North Star is also annoying men in their mid forties so things are shaping up well for me when we film series 2..?

sandehalynch.com•65 days ago

Quite right, too.

stevedoug.bsky.social•66 days ago

This attitude deserves a follow, bravo sir

sarahhilary.bsky.social•66 days ago

Made my Christmas

londonlee.bsky.social•66 days ago

Just want to say I really enjoyed it even if I knew you can't get there that quickly from there. The cast were all great

angrydigit.bsky.social•65 days ago

My main problem with Black Doves was it had Andrew Koji in it, NOT A SINGLE KICK OR PUNCH THROWN BY HIM!
Must’ve been such an easy job after Warrior; just lie next to a naked Kiera Knightley in flashbacks 🤣

nosregis.bsky.social•66 days ago

This made me howl with laughter, thank you :)

mr.place•66 days ago

I'll leave it to the youngsters.

I'm just confused, as a happily married man in my mid 50’s,as to the effect Ben Wishaw has on me…

jodami.bsky.social•66 days ago

They’ll put the North Star in Ealing Common.

sluggerotoole.bsky.social•65 days ago

It’s in Ealing Broadway! (I’m a 52 year old male proving the point of this post) 😂

sudge.bsky.social•66 days ago

Giri/Haji crossover when

simonwjohns.bsky.social•65 days ago

Was too busy thinking what an amazing cast it was to notice. Sarah Lancashire was menacingly good!

christopher-hervez.bsky.social•66 days ago

Does the odd geographical inaccuracy matter? This has been the only English language TV series that drew me in this year. It suspended my disbelief and is thoroughly entertaining - there again if knew London well would my disbelief be suspended?

cmonagan.bsky.social•66 days ago

Will London continue to be devoid of people, automobiles and noise of any kind? I kind of enjoyed that.

stufuller.bsky.social•65 days ago

You’ll be glad to hear you’ve already annoyed one man in his 60s by the simple act of squeezing two split infinitives into a single sentence!

rachelamphlett.bsky.social•66 days ago

Goals.

benjaminbump.bsky.social•66 days ago

Haha! So excited for series 2, please pop up on the PilotTV pod again when it comes around, always a great listen 🎧

jamieosborn.bsky.social•66 days ago

As long as Eleanor & Williams are about, Big Ben can be floating in the Thames for all I care.

alanbenzie.bsky.social•66 days ago

One of the things I liked about was seeing bits or views of London (hello Arnold Circus!) that hadn’t been worn to cliché by previous shows.

cameronyardejnr.bsky.social•66 days ago

😂😂😂

baronfroggles.bsky.social•65 days ago

Respect for that

eddierobson.bsky.social•66 days ago

The funniest part is this happens all the time in shows set in real locations outside London and no-one even mentions it, but do it in London and people go "oh noes my suspension of disbelief is SHATTERED"

joebarton.bsky.social•66 days ago

“The alien invasion I can believe but you got from Frith to Greek Street without crossing Dean Street and you expect me to watch this drivel??”

studiousbadger.bsky.social•66 days ago

But seriously this series has taught me that I can still willingly suspend my disbelief if the writing and production is on point. I thought my increasingly tendency to shout OH FFS at the TV was just me getting old & jaded* but it just turns out that everything else was shit (*yeah, I know).

mattucker.bsky.social•66 days ago

and a good story

a-wizards-staff.bsky.social•66 days ago

I loved Black Doves - thanks so much for making it. Really looking forward to season 2!

uglygame.bsky.social•66 days ago

jonathanfoulds.bsky.social•66 days ago

If you really want a reaction, have a scene filmed in Edinburgh and call it Glasgow. Regardless, Black Doves is an awesome series, so long may it continue.

stuvoxx.bsky.social•66 days ago

Cracking series fair play. Keira’s acting 🤌🏻

teresadp.bsky.social•46 days ago

👊

thedicemechanic.bsky.social•66 days ago

Not just men. My wife had a wonderful time leaping about central London televisually for six hours or so :-)

smilo998.bsky.social•66 days ago

Finally notflix makes a decent series. Seems counting rivets has now extended to geography.

royhell.bsky.social•65 days ago

They’re not really annoyed, it’s a “I recognise that street so could obviously pass The Knowledge” flex

jackbeingbad.bsky.social•66 days ago

This feels like a personal attack.

petedeller.bsky.social•66 days ago

Subtle wrongness would be so much more fun than Hollywood wrongness where the Houses of Parliament are at the end of Tower Bridge (aka London Bridge). Just the odd Tube station on the wrong line or something.

nickmotown.bsky.social•66 days ago

nickmurf.bsky.social•66 days ago

What about men in their 50's who don't give a shit what is where and just like to enjoy the show? Once again we are ignored.

joebarton.bsky.social•66 days ago

Sorry Nick but that’s just not a key demographic for our engagement matrix. We thank you for your custom but kindly ask you not to engage with our content unless absolutely necessary x

nickmurf.bsky.social•66 days ago

No worries. Outer Banks still gives me what I need.

darrenwhitfield.bsky.social•66 days ago

Empty cups though, Nick. Not arsed about streets but I'm not letting that shit fly.

joebarton.bsky.social•66 days ago

Empty cups are actually unforgivable tbf

darrenwhitfield.bsky.social•66 days ago

My other one is actors playing someone who smokes and they've clearly never smoked in their life. Also, military berets. Staggering how often they're wrong. As in, you see them worn down at the back like you would a baseball cap. Down at the front, high at the back.

nickmurf.bsky.social•65 days ago

Smoking, yes.
Berets, don’t give a hoot! 😆

darrenwhitfield.bsky.social•65 days ago

Details matter. I thought better of you. 😁

deliciouslegacy.bsky.social•65 days ago

Gargh! This is me! Ahahahahaha

jackvsjose.bsky.social•65 days ago

It’s something we do so well… Quite enjoying going “ooh I recognise that” at various points tbh.

deanrc.bsky.social•66 days ago

Do it like adulthood and the latest tomb raider and have them walk out of one part of London into one that's a mile or so away. Nothing boils piss than biking a few meters near st Paul's and turn a corner and end up in Holborn

gillsam1927.bsky.social•66 days ago

Can’t wait, the only bad thing is I got a numb bum watching the first season, all in one go

aldofarian.bsky.social•66 days ago

The easy parking and fast traffic circulation were brilliantly inventive. More please.

heavenstobetsie.bsky.social•65 days ago

Haven't had a chance to watch yet, but for this alone I pledge my allegiance

melissapudding.bsky.social•66 days ago

Ah ha! You do it for a good reason. Ex-Londoner here often comments why driving past that landmark? 😁😁😉

tomwentworth.bsky.social•66 days ago

Are you writing from Boxing Day again this time? Ep 1 done by New Year?

joebarton.bsky.social•66 days ago

😅

smoemeth.bsky.social•66 days ago

And please, keep it set in an alternate universe where there are no CCTV cameras covering London, and one can easily find street parking any time of the day or night. ;)

gavinwhenman.bsky.social•66 days ago

🙏

jdirwinbooks.bsky.social•65 days ago

Enjoying the first muchly.

feministgothic.bsky.social•53 days ago

😂 it's the directions/locations that alienate the lads, not the blaring gunfire, bodies and explosions going unnoticed in a relatively gun free city. Or, the pure fiction of a likeable Tory. Would like to see spin off on Sarah Lancashire's clean-up service (poss feat Greg Davies' Wicky)

gregoryellwood.bsky.social•65 days ago

Joe we need Tracey Ullman's character to have a twin because we need her back from season 2. Thank you, everyone.
