DVD Description

In Talk To Me - Complete First Series Max Beesley is Mitch Moore: a DJ with a charm that women simply can't resist. He hosts a late-night phone-in on London radio station Life FM, dispensing glib and sometimes controversial solutions to callers' problems. Women love him and he knows it--all it takes is the twinkle in his eye and a flash of his winning smile to charm them into his bed. But is there something missing from his life? Ultimately, he can't help himself when he's caught up in a tangled love triangle and falls in love with the one woman he can't possibly have: his best friend's fiancée, Claire (Laura Fraser).

Customer Reviews

Fantastic
This was one of the best dramas i have seen on ITV in a long time and kept me interested the whole way through. Highly recommend it, very good watch!

Almodovar it ain't
So much for the British "stiff upper lip"!

There hasn't been such an assortment of selfish, self-indulgent, self-absorbed people on film since "Valley of the Dolls". Not one character gives a single thought for the consequences of his actions - generally to bed someone - or who may be hurt. If it `feels right' (read: if horny enough), that's sufficient.

Max Beesley as Mitch Moore, womanizing talk-radio jockey, is funny and entertaining. Although he tramples on the feelings of woman after woman who willingly fall for his line, he does it in a light-hearted, winning way.

But the show changes course radically, from witty social farce to maudlin soaper, when Mitch sleeps with his best friend Woody's fiancee. She throws herself at him two days before her wedding to Woody, with whom she already has a child. Now, how could Mitch say no to that?! But, taste considerations aside, he becomes obsessed with her, the drama stops, and the melodrama begins.

On the basis of that one-night stand, Mitch renounces his naughty nature, which made him so attractive, and decides he wants only her. His manner becomes unsympathetic, mawkish, tedious, and - worse - boring.

And don't even talk to me about his sister! Her self-destructive actions defy description or credibility. She could so easily have been happier, and less hurtful to someone quite vulnerable, with just a modicum of reflection. Suffice it to say, for a teacher she has no clue how to talk to a teenager.

The only character that comes across with any dignity at all is Woody. As he is the producer of the show, Mitch jeopardizes his career as well as his only friendship to have a self-centered woman. Neither Mitch nor his wife deserve Woody who, as played by Joseph Millson, is handsome, desirable - and nice! On the downside, he does cry a lot. But, to be fair, the characters around him could drive anyone to distraction.

The Music...
I really enjoyed the TV series so I bought the DVD only to be disappointed the sound track was different and no where near as good! The choice of music was excellent in the TV version with the likes of Damien Rice, The Fray, Snow Patrol and so on, and I was surprised how much difference it made to the impact of the drama. Should have kept to the original; sorry I deleted it from sky plus now!
