Eish.

Blackpool is 6 hours long.

There are 20 'clips of them singing along to the original - most only a verse or two long - so around 45 minutes of music, 5 hours 15 minutes with no music.

Fast forward works ....


PS:
The Blues Brothers has more music and it's still not a musical.

The Three Amigos. That's the closest I've ever come to a musical.
And that one about the kids with the painball guns in the 80s.

quite corny, but I'm enjoying The Singapore Grip: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8010340/

I deleted it halfway through S01E01...it's really, really bad.
And I normally love this kind of period drama.

the book it's based on is a satirical take on British colonialism, I think the series tried to stick to that same formula, which is why it comes across as it does.

I have a love for Singapore and it's history, to me this was more about the historical aspect, which they kept 100% accurate.
