Ordinary Lies Series 1 Episode 4 Rick's Story - Shazad Latif Misc Screenshots

Before my Britbox trial expired, I was able to get the screenshots below of Shazad Latif as Rick in Ordinary Lies S1, E4.

My Mad Fat Diary, Ordinary Lies and Toast of London Pilot plus Our Girl

I must say that I am very glad I was able to watch all 3 seasons of My Mad Fat Diary ("MMFD") before it leaves Hulu today. Shazad Latif is Dr. Nick Kassar throughout Season/Series 1, who is given the rather accurate moniker of "Expert moistener of lady gardens" by the main character, Rae Earl. The Dr. Nick gifs below are from a reblog of a reblog on Tumblr. An unintended consequence of watching MMFD was becoming slightly obsessed with another gorgeous brit, Nico Mirallegro, who plays Finn Nelson. 

In other streaming adventures, I signed up for a 7-day Britbox trial so I was able to see the Toast of London Pilot "The Unspeakable Play" and watch Shazad Latif as Rick, a workshop mechanic, in Ordinary Lies, Season 1, Episodes 1-4. 

Aside from the gifs like the one above from Ginges be Cray I have not found too many gifs of Shazad Latif as Rick, so I will possibly make some in the future if I get around to it. Ordinary Lies was interesting enough to watch the Rick episodes, but I didn't care enough about any of the other characters to continue with the show after Rick makes his speedy exit at the end of Episode 4. 

As mentioned above, I find myself alternating between watching items from the filmographies of Shazad Latif and Nico Mirallegro. Before my Britbox trial runs out, I am trying to watch all of Season 4 of Our Girl because Nico plays the intelligent, charming nerd-stud character of Prof. 

watched Rogue Agent last night...

Overall a good movie, however for fans of Shazad Latif,you'll have to wait a little over an hour into the film before his character, DC Sonny Chandra appears...By the way, the two photos of Shazad Latif on the imdb page for Rogue Agent are not very flattering...

ultracutebot Tumblr re-post: 10 connections between Toast of London and Doctor Who

 Reposted from my tumblr post :

1. Steven Toast has a flashback in S2 E2 “Desperate Measures” to his small part as an alien saying “Yes!” to the 4th doctor 

2. Jane Plough tries to discuss a Doctor Who opportunity (which is why Toast flashes back to his bit part with the 4th doctor) S2 E2“Desperate Measures”

3. Peter Davison, who is most well known as the 5th Doctor,  plays a truly absurd version of himself in 3 episodes (S2 E3 “The Moose Trap”, S2 E4 “High Winds Actor”  and S3 E2 “Beauty Calls”)

And now for something completely different...

This is totally not a Monty Python related post...but I thought the phrase was appropriate :)

On my birthday, while I was working I started re-watching Black Books, and I really do think I could watch this show over and over again and still find it incredibly funny. Dylan Moran is so bleeping funny as Bernard Black. All the gifs below are from Black Books GIF Globe which is a fantastic source of Black Books gifs.
