Cracker - Brotherly Love

[Markgway]

Did the original uncut version of this story come out on DVD anywhere? The first episode (of three) ran 10-15 mins longer than the standard version on its premiere. The edits were made later so that repeat screenings could fit into a 1-hr time slot (back when News At Ten was an issue) but it seems that the UK DVDs (and probably others) are taken from this abridged master.

I didn't know this but my god Cracker was an outstanding TV series.

[Markgway]

Yes, it was. Most of the stories were excellent. Only a couple were disappointing.

Robbie Coltrane was phenomenal and the stories were nearly always gritty, dark and real.

[Markgway]

Fuck's sake Romero. That's out of order.

The Americans didn't even like the American version better.

[romerojpg]

Well as no one watched the American series, I doubt many on here did either.

[Markgway]

I watched the first one (I think it was a remake of True Romance) and it was clearly inferior.

[romerojpg]

Well you watched a pilot, so come back when you watch the entire show

[Markgway]

Bollocks to that.

[bradavon]

I don't know of any British show that has an American remake, Romero prefers the British original. He's biased to Yank shows.

I think you're missing a "where" in the middle of that statement brad, edit it now before people start slagging you off for saying you don't know of any British show that has an american remake!

[Markgway]

Too late.

Oops. I even oddly put a comma in it's place.
