1: US begins shutdown amid budget row

2: Danny Dyer to take over Queen Vic

I love this country.

In a parallel universe,the Queen Vic would shut down and Dyer takes over the US....small mercies...or perhaps not.

I know Danny quite well, just finished one film with him and am currency filming another now, am genuinely pleased for him, its a great move, he is a unfairly maligned actor, he is much more talented than people give him credit for.

Whilst I'm delighted for both you and Danny, that's not really what the thread was about.

Perhaps there'll be storyline whereby the falling value of Yankee Gov bonds lead to higher interest rates around the world and Danny is faced with impossible mortgage payments.

(If I see that story line, I'll be wanting royalties...)

[Pompski!]

I'd like to see Danny Dyer play a role that isn't a hard-man East end geezer. I think we'll find out how good an actor he is then.

He's 'done' Pinter several times, he was Pinter's favourite actor for his work

This place is lawless, feckin' lawless I tell you...

He does comedy quite well.

He went up in my estimation as an actor playing the pratfall character in Vinny Jones UK Soccer version of Mean Machine.
Billy the Limpet is rubbish at football but worships the hero, in comic style, he scores the winner in the end!

He also played a lead role in the film version of Run for your Wife (Ray Cooney farce) which wasn't very good.

He also is to be applauded for giving the straightest answer to a daft question on radio.

Q. So Deadliest Men 3, what made you do another series?
A. Money. They pay me money to present it; money helps pay my mortgage and keeps my family happy.

He comes across as a decent enough bloke, good luck to him..

[Weybridge]

Danny Dyer in Straightheads (with Gillian Anderson) is excellent. He tones the cockney wideboy act way down and comes up with a pretty compelling character.

[Chiswick Blue]

He is good in this, i promise!

Let's not forget his tact and elegant way with the English language ...

[<dj.>]

He did a brilliant little series on Dermot O'Leary's saturday radio show called "Danny Dyer's Male Voice Choirs" in which he spoke of the social role of choirs and played tracks from some quite obscure albums. I suppose he might have been reading someone else's script, but I don't think so.

How eloquent. He sounds ghastly. Thankfully, I've never heard of the chap. Anyway, whatever happened to Dirty Den? Thought he was the landlord of the Queen Vic.
