Anyone been watching? It's just about to start, it's
Me
I have.
Very interesting. As I know a door man (bouncer).
I've seen snippets.
I have a very different view of bouncers from when I worked the bar in nightclubs in the early 90's. I had an altercation one night after seeing the bouncers (6 of them) pull one bloke off the dance floor, for what for I don't know I was behind the bar, but what I did see was 6 bouncers punching this guy to the ground and then taking turns to jump on his head, all inside the club. I went over and grabbed one of them to get off him and he punched me and tried to push me down a set of stairs that was about 70 concrete steps.
Funnily enough, after I approached the guy who was being assaulted by the bouncers to say I would give a witness statement, I got fired from that job.
Ouch Cinds! That's a bit crap. A lot has changed, they need a personal license now that they have to pay for themselves etc. (you probably know that already lol)
I watched the prog last week and was at the stuff they have to deal with.
These programs always show things from the bouncers' eye view and they're on their best behaviour in every single one of these series.
These shows will NEVER show a bored bouncer kicking off for no reason nor the abuse they often hurl at drunks to provoke them. Over the years, I've seen the good the bad and the outright thugs when it comes to doormen.
I'm sure millions more have. You won't see that on this genre of program - those programs are always done with the cooperation of the clubs, pubs and bouncers. They will never show themselves in a bad light.
Good rule that GJ! BTW, what did you think of Ed's speech? I was impressed. If the Labour Party moves in the direction of Ed's rhetoric, I will be happy.
The episode the other week didn't show them in a good light, they threw a bloke out at the end of the night was clearly not capable of walking and then watched as his head bounced off the road

That was horrendous, I felt sick watching it And they just dragged him back onto the pavement, there was blood everywhere

Yep. That was questionable to say the least

You even heard his head hit the road and then they started bragging about their first aid training surely if they were trained they would have sat him down outside and call a taxi for him. You knew exactly what was going to happen and that could have killed him

Exactly, you could see it coming a mile off and they just sort of shoved him on his way. Like you said, they should have just sat him down outside
