Bank of Dave Netflix

Thanks for the tip. I watched it this afternoon. Really enjoyed it, feel good film with a good cast.
We saw the series of programmes about Dave Fishwick, on TV a few years ago and wondered what had happened to him.

I watched this film last weekend and enjoyed it as the "real" Dave Fishwick was on Breakfast TV on the Friday. I had never heard of him before but he came across as a genuine person and certainly does and has done a lot for the local community. Definitely worth a watch if you have Netflix.

I know I keep ranting on about The Rest is Politics but Alastair Campbell recommended it on the latest podcast and I’ve just this minute googled it to find out more about it. It sounds wonderful.

Will check it out Maybe.
(I mean definitely )

Annoyingly I don’t have Netflix! I’m currently at my daughters and she has Netflix and Amazon. I don’t have enough time to watch all the stuff on Sky Arts and BBC4. Going to watch the dvd about Richard III tomorrow night having watched several utube documentaries about the search fir his body. I’m always a year or so behind everybody else.

Dave has been on This Morning a few times giving financial advice. He's a breath of fresh air.

Maybe We are on have a family member’s Netflix account, also Amazon prime (but we havnt really used that.)
She did it all from her house and bingo when we got home there was Netflix on our tv. No extra cost either.

It was a delight😄

Loved it.
However, at the start it said it was based on a true(ish) story. I’d like to know which bits were fiction or otherwise.
Does anyone know?

I think they over embellished the way the big banks behaved by making things awkward.

Hello Maybee Have you watched the documentary about Philippa Langley? Simon Farnaby presents it.
It’s called The King in the Car Park, and it’s on Prime Video

I have. Someone on the GHOSTS Facebook page did a link to it so I watched that, another documentary that followed it and then watched the funeral service that followed that. I don’t think I was aware of how momentous the whole thing was at the time and need to go back to see everything in Leicester and go back to the battlefield. I got quite emotional watching all of the documentaries: shivers down the spine and tears. We often stay in Middleham in the shadow of the castle. I’m far more interested in that period of history than all of the Henry XIII stuff. I loved ‘The White Queen’, too. I think Simon is a national treasure: he seems to be involved in many of the things that make me happy: Detectorists, Ghosts, Paddington, Horrible Histories. I’ve yet to see The Phantom of the Open and never got round to buying the children’s book he wrote.

Yes, I feel exactly the same way.
One of my neighbours was actually involved in the dig.
I only found out recently.
It seemed to pass me by too, I must have been absorbed with work stuff.
The Phantom of the Open is absolutely brilliant!
The depiction of the 70s is a treat.
Look out for the disco dancing twins! 🕺🕺

My guess would be the romance bits.

Yes. I read that the lawyer character was a complete work of fiction.
And the Def Leppard stuff didn’t happen.

Thought the lawyer was too good to be true.
Hadn’t expected to enjoy it as much as I did.

I watched this last night and loved it - a truly “feel good” film with a happy ending. Who cares if it isn’t a truthful depiction of fact- it wasn’t a documentary!
Loved the main characters- the bankers were true pantomime villains and the good guys, especially Rory Kinnear- just lovely.

Does anyone know?

Have you googled it or Dave Fishwick?
I won’t reproduce all of the “differences” (like the lawyer) but the principles seem the same.

It wasn’t a criticism, I just find it helpful and informative to know which parts are fact and which are fiction.
I hadn’t previously heard of Dave Fishwick, so I decided to do some research prior to watching it.
I felt a similar way about Finding Richard and also the various films about the Thai cave rescue

Good film. I wish real life delivered as much.
