Title: Slow Horses
Post by Ye Grappler on Apr 18th, 2022 at 2:54pm
British MI5 drama about a bunch of 'losers' who end up in Slough House biding away their time untile retirement or resignation... great work from Gary Oldman.....

Has a nerdy Chinese guy named Roddy Ho, who is played by a thin little intense guy... the character in the books has an incredible ego totally unmatched by his unprepossessing exterior ... the guy cast bears no relation to that, sadly - an example of poor casting...

This is how I'd have envisaged Roddy Ho, Roddy Ho Riding Through the Glen, the fabulous stud genius in his own mind with his gorgeous Korean girlfriend who he never gets in the sack etc while she sucks his secrets from him.. duh...



or this:-



Not something like this:-

The opening lyrics remind me of this place.
