Tina and Bobby

I caught this down at my mother's house otherwise I'd have ruined my life by missing it . Well perhaps "ruined my life" is a hyperbolic overstatement but it's a TV show that illustrates that you can become something of a television star without giving the merest hint that you're an actor

I am of course referring to Lorne MacFadyen , an actor - and I mean that in its most generic sense - who I have never heard of and after watching TINA AND BOBBY no one will probably hear of again . There's two types of bad acting . The first is the OTT mincing thespian luvvie bad acting seen by the likes of Steven Berkoff . The second is the wooden , dull stilted type of acting MacFadyen is guilty of . Apparently Sir Bobby was a leader of men but I'm guessing if the Sir Bobby Moore seen here was in charge of a team they'd be hard pressed to find the half time pie and Bovril never mind win a world cup . I wasn't expecting Daniel Craig to be cast but I was hoping for something less wooden than a pool cue

Thankfully the story revolves around Bobby's wife Tina and every fast paced storyline revolves around an underdeveloped quickly skipped over plot involving very little of interest . If nothing else it reminds me that not all double acts have a woman as the dumb blond and why I don't watch much television anymore
