The Riches
Hey there. Just wondering if anybody here has watched this show? It stars Eddie Izzard and Minnie Briver as a gypsy couple who assume the identities of a rich couple after they are killed in a car accident.It is absolutely brilliant. Minnie Driver has gotten the role of her lifetime here. I never really knew that she was this talented.

I haven't seen this. But I've heard it's quite a good show.

I watched it too but I couldn't get into it. I have really liked Eddie Izzard for a long time now but I just can't seem to watch him when he puts on that fake American accent. It really doesn't suit him. Same for Minnie Driver though I haven't ever been much of a fan of her.
Suppose it just isn't my kind of show but I watched the first 2 episodes and couldn't get into it. |

See I thought his accent was really good LOL! The third episode was a real improvement on the previous two but if you don't like Eddie Izzard you probably won't come around to it.

Thing is, I do like Eddie Izzard. Maybe I should watch the 3rd one and see what I think then.
I'll have more time in front of the telly from tomorrow onwards til the baby comes so I suppose I'll have the time. |

I read your post wrong about liking Eddie "earwigs don't make chutney!" Izzard that time Kiera. Yeah the show seems to have hit it's stride since the third episode. I was never much of a Minnie Driver fan either but I really like her in this. I just love shows about very flawed characters that you can root for.
