Can you tell us how being a northerner would help him "capture his likeness". Voice , perhaps..lambrini wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 11:38 pmThe first episode is pretty good. Coogan captures Savile's likeness, but then, so he should, considering he is a northerner himself.
I found the BBC scene towards the end unbelievable. As if ONE person in the meeting was skeptical, and OF COURSE, she had to be a woman (the ol' men bad, women good trope.)
