Death on the Tyne

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.

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

If you like comedies and murder mysteries, this trilogy is definitely a combination worth watching. It contains all: hilarious over-the-top situations, misunderstood clues, silly characters, love triangles, several obvious suspects, and a surprise killer.

OK, the low budget is showing, and the number of passengers and crew was not convincing, but hey, they would have been in the way, anyway. The story did not really need them. If anything, the main stories were entertaining enough without too many distractions going on in the background.

Only pity that the life boat potential remained underutilised.

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.

Lets pro and con this and a quick summary :

Cons ; A ferry with about 20 paying passengers ?!?! The story line need you to use your imagination As with carry on films lots of cheese added

Pros : Amazing cast Very funny one liners and well acted Great use of a simple "who done it" and "carry on cruising" Simple story line that easy to follow and very funny

OK some review's have pulled it apart and other taken it on board for whats it worth and the fun value entitled when you watch.

Summary : Johnny Vegas is the Sid James and should you watch well if you want a laugh with a easy story line that had cheese and childish humour - then defiantly watch. If not your bag then I am sure the news will be on one channel.
