Murder on the Blackpool Express

Not usually a fan of comedies, but the dramas I have seen lately were very poor so checked this out. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the dialogue was clever & humorous; I laughed out loud at several points. Nothing was particularly original, but it wasn't a carbon copy of anything else in particular just another who-done-it with a finite group of people traveling/staying together with members dying one by one. I liked the character choices; the senior citizen ladies were delightful yet not the stereotypes often seen in show of this type.

I thought this was a delightful movie, well worth the time to watch it. With a bit of a surprise to me at the end.

Murder on the Blackpool Express is a 2017 comedy. Which was original on GOLD TV and now on BBC I PLAYER. The Draper's Tour Mysteries is a comedy drama television film series created and written by Jason Cook, and starring Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson as Terry Bremmer and Gemma Draper. My mum was the one who told me about this how silly it is and quite funny. So gave it a watch. The storyline is stupid and silly but very funny in places with a murder mystery. Johnny vegas and Sian Gibson are very good talented people. The television film has a lot of different stars in and all good in playing the parts. A very different drama to watch but it sure is funny. Very well directed and produced even though is bloody stupid well it was rather funny. There is 2 more television films after this one the second one is better well I think so. It's nice to watch a light hearted comedy as it's all doom and gloom on tv and it does make you laugh. So if you want something easy to watch with comedy then give this ago. Don't go by the negative comments it was surprisingly good.

Every one of the cast turns in a great performance. There is great chemistry between Johnny and Sean and the story is entertaining throughout. I didn't see the ending coming at all which is a huge bunus for a whodunnit.

This is a good, solid light comedy and drama in the mould of an Agatha Christie-style one-by-one murder mystery, as you'd guess from the title. It's not trying to be big, loud or cutting but has much more of an 'ITV special' feel too it.

I do like my strong, punchy comedies and I also do like my highly enjoyable comedies. This is the latter and its seasoned cast do a beautiful job of delivering a strong script liberally scattered with witticisms and gags. I had a lot of fun watching it.

I enjoyed watching this over the top romp with great character actors hamming it up cleverly. You have to be in the mood to suspend completly rational thought for a while. The second movie, "Death on the Tyne" also was very funny and used a lot a few of the same character actors. I give it an 8. However. The 3rd installation "Dial M for Middlebrough" fell flat and ran out of steam, I couldn't keep watching it. I rate it a two just because I like the charater actors.

Then they attempted to make a series of them being detectives.

This is already totally implausible, because they were so horribly bad at it. I tried to watch the first of three episodes, I couldn't make it ten minutes. The first two are good, give the rest a pass.
