Eli ayiloxesha lokuqala ndadibana noMartin Shaw, nangona ndingamsoli ngokungakhumbuli. Namhlanje, ndilapha ukumbuza ukuba uziva njani ngokuvalelisa ku-Inspector George ngobumnene, umcuphi awudlalileyo kwi-BBC1 kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo.
Isibhengezo
Ngexesha lokudibana kwethu kwangaphambili, bendinombuzo omnye kuye: Ungamxelela udadewethu ukuba lixesha lokuba eze ekhaya? Oko kwenzeka phantse kwiminyaka engama-40 eyadlulayo. Andikabikho okwishumi elivisayo kwaye wayekwinqanaba lodumo lwakhe kwiiNgcali (kunye nomntu owayengonwabanga ngelo xesha, njengoko siza kubona).
Ndandiye ndaya endlwini yowayesakuba ngumfazi wakhe - wayehlala kwindlela yethu, kunye nabantwana bakhe abathathu - ukuqokelela udadewethu kumhla wokudlala kunye nentombi yakhe uSophie. La mantombazana mabini ayengabahlobo abalungileyo, echitha ixesha lasemva kwemini ekhwela phezu kwewadi kaSophie, esenza inkampu yeithoyi zakhe ezifakiweyo.
Sonke besisazi ukuba ngubani utata kaSophie (inene, ndandinobuhlobo nomkhuluwa wakhe), kodwa inkwenkwezi yeTV yayingafane ibekhona. Ke ibingumzuzu wolonwabo olukhulu xa umnyango wale semi uqhelekileyo waphendulwa yiarhente yeCI5 uRay Doyle.
UShaw uyancuma xa ndimbalisela ibali, kwaye endixelela ukuba usaya ejikeleza indlu kwiindibano zosapho ngeKrisimesi kunye nePasika. Nangona izinto zokudlala ezibonakala ngathi azisadlali zinkulu kangako kwimicimbi.
Kula mashumi eminyaka angenelelayo, phantse yonke into itshintshile kubomi bukaMartin Shaw - ufumene abanye ababesakuba ngabafazi kunye neqabane elitsha lexesha elide apha endleleni - kodwa, kwakhona, ubamba isizwe ukuba sibe ngumlwi wolwaphulo-mthetho. Hayi okwethutyana, nangona kunjalo. Emva kweminyaka elishumi yokudlala uMhloli oyiNtloko woMhloli uGeorge ngobumnene, i-BBC1 izisa umboniso esiphelweni.
eyona headset enentambo
Uye wachaza uDoyle, indoda elukhuni ayidlalayo, njengomntu okhetha icala elinye kumdlalo obonisa icala elinye kwaye wathi umdlalo weqonga wawuyekisa umsebenzi wam… kwakufana nokuba ngunodoli womntu. Akukho buntu. Umsebenzi nje.
Umxholo uyavela xa sixoxa ngento yokuba abalinganiswa abathathu balawula ubomi bakhe bokusebenza: UGeorge Gently (odlale iminyaka elishumi), uJaji John Deed (iminyaka emithandathu), noRay Doyle (iminyaka emithandathu).
Leliphi kula madoda mathathu alithanda kakhulu? Ngaphandle kokuyeka, uyaphendula, uJohn Deed. Kodwa, wongeza ngokukhawuleza: Yeyiphi ayikuko ukungamhloniphi uGeorge ngobunono… Kodwa wena uyacebisa, awunambeko kuRay Doyle? Akavumelani. Ewe, ndinoGeorge ngobumnene noJohn Deed, ndandikho ngokuzithandela kulo lonke ixesha.
usapho lwangoku lweNetflix
Yitsho kwakhona? Ngaba undixelela ukuba usebenzile abaSebenzi ngokuchasene nentando yakho? Ewe kunjalo. Ndisidenge ndatyikitya isivumelwano endicinga ukuba bazakundikhupha. Yimpazamo yam ngokupheleleyo. Zingaphi uthotho ozenzileyo phantsi koxinzelelo? Isine nesiqingatha. Emva kweyokuqala, ndacinga ukuba ngobabalo ndizokwazi ukuthi, 'Enkosi kakhulu, kodwa ayindim le.'
Endaweni yoko, uthi, abavelisi banyanzelisa ukuba enze ngaphezulu. Ngokuchanekileyo okanye ngokungalunganga, uyakholelwa ukuba balicwangcisile ngabom ixesha lokudubula ngendlela yokumthintela ekuthatheni omnye umsebenzi (ophezulu kakhulu).
Uyenza ngathi iyavakala, ndiyamxelela. Ewe, andicingi ukuba yayibuhlungu. Ndicinga ukuba yayingumnini. Iinkosi zikamabonakude zazingafuni indoda elwa nolwaphulo-mthetho olungqongqo zijikeleza eqongeni kwiNational Theatre.
UShaw uthi akazange abe sisityebi ngasemva komboniso. Sihlawulwe kancinci kakhulu kubaSebenzi. Ncnci kakhulu. Siqale nge- £ 400 ngeveki kwaye sigqibe malunga ne- £ 1,500 ngeveki.
Kwaye, uphikisa ukuba, akazange afumane nesenti ekuphindaphindweni (inene, iminyaka ingxabano engacacanga malunga nemali yobukhosi ivimbe i-ITV ekubuyiseni iziqendu ezindala). Intlawulo yemveli kukuba isimo sikaShaw malunga nabaSebenzi kukungabi nambulelo kwinqanaba le-epic.
Ngaba khange achithe loo minyaka enxibe ii-T-shirts ezixineneyo kwaye ekhombe ngemipu kwi-geezers geres, angaba ulapho namhlanje? Ingxelo efanelekileyo kakhulu. Kwaye yintlawulo endiyamkelayo. Ndiphakamise isandla sam. Mea culpa.
Kodwa-kwaye nazi iindaba ezinkulu - emva kweminyaka yobukrakra, uMartin Shaw wenze uxolo kunye nabaSebenzi. Makhe ndikurhangqe oku. Ngenxa yokuba bekude dissertation kwicala elisezantsi. Yonke inkcaso yaphela.
Ngoba? Kuba kwiminyaka embalwa emva, umdlali omncinci wamcacisela ukuba ibaluleke kangakanani le nkqubo njengenxalenye yobuntwana babo. Kwaye ngequbuliso ndayifumana. Ke konke ukungathandani kuye kwaphela. Phew. Kwaye, njengoko uGeorge ngobumnene ephela, angaziva njani ngokuthatha enye indima ende enokuthi imse kwii-80s zakhe? Ewe, ewe, utsho. Ngokuqinisekileyo.
