Tottyland

Oh dear

I quite like crap TV shows mainly because they tend to be funny.

But today though I had the dubious pleasure of watching the Adventures of Sinbad.

It stars only one vague bit of totty Zen Gesner. He may look quite good at first but after ten minutes of being shown his hairy chest does not distract from his total inability to act.

His acting style if you can call it that is to say his lines like he's taking the proverbial out of an Errol Flynn film. Saying your lines in a totally over the top heroic manner doesn't make for good acting. His facial expressions are simply odd. He looks like he on a catalogue photoshoot. You get Zen pensive (or Zen needing the toilet), Zen looking out into the distance while saying something meaningful (he's even more wooden doing it than Orlando Bloom in Return of the King) and Zen being cool which usually involves him moving his sword from hand to hand.

On another matter as I flicked through my Sunday Times Culture section to find the time Monk is on I am confronted by a picture (page 86) of some shirtless men. Sadly only one of them is actually good looking.

This is for the near fatal Channel 4 show Superhuman (spot who should update websites).

One must hope they test all parts of the anatomy...for the sake of science....no really.
