Death on the Tyne

The original 'Murder on the Blackpool Express' was quite a pleasant surprise of a film in all honesty and this sadly however is a bit of a step down from the first. Keeping the 'core' of the cast and switching up location and plot crux it's refreshong whilst still parodying the basis where it came frome. A bit rushed and less fun to some extent than its predecessor there's still a fair amount of charm intact, obviously no blockbuster but for an "English low budgeter" it's a decent try

Good script, good cast and overall a good 90mins. It's not trying to win a BAFTA or be anything it's not. Puts me in mind of Benidorm or a Carry On spoof.

Death on the Tyne is a 2018 television comedy murder mystery film that was originally on Gold TV now it's on BBC I PLAYER channel 2 . The second film after Murder on the Blackpool Express then on to Murder in Middlesbrough as the third instalment. Death on the Tyne following Terry, Gemma, Mildred and friends on an eventful overnight ferry. This one was better than the first television film I found it was more funnier. The storyline is silly and stupid but so funny, it's like black comedy. The film has lot of different stars and all very good in playing the characters. Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson are very good I do like them. It's nice to watch a comedy and the fact it was so bloody funny. To much doom and gloom on tv we need more laughter. So if you want to watch something completely different that is light hearted very funny but stupid then you need to give this a watch. Death on the Tyne has amazing cast from Benidorm, Last Tango in Halifax and line of duty. It's fun, stupid, silly and hilarious. Get watching now on channel 2 on BBC I PLAYER.

Reminds me of the "Carry On" movies...pretty good, gentle humor. And my niece (Tracy) was awesome in it, too!

I am absolutely shocked with the low rating of this film. It is an amazing film, and well written. It had lots of stars I knew (Sheila Reid, Tony Gardner and many more). I think the bad reviews are because people clearly don't know the definition of the word 'comedy', if you want a serious murder mystery, get over to NCIS or Criminal Minds and stop throwing all the good work from everyone involved in the making of this.
