Urban Myths (2017)
Our "Urban Myths" are stories that have been passed down over time and have now become part of urban folklore. But are they true? We take a slightly tongue in cheek, mischievous -- and deliberately ambiguous -- look at what might have happened...

    Delightful!

    I've only watched the first two episodes so far, but have done so with a smile on my face both times. Excellent storytelling and marvelous characters.

    I don't normally refer to anything as 'delightful', but then I don't normally sit through anything with a smile on my face.

    I do hope the rest of the episodes are as fun as these first two.

    As a teacher I think these are great.

    I was born in in 1970 and didn't know some of this stuff but I am not The Greatest. In the current days of 'celebrity' culture. Maybe explain the myths of social media first. I had to explain Bob Dylan to my dad. You might have to be British to get the humoUr but brilliant acting, scripting, casting etc. Anyone with a semblance of intellect will love this.

    Well written and acted.

    The first one I saw was Bob Dylan flying to UK to meet his friend Dave (Dave Stewart from eurhymics). Having no address he ends up at a house with a Dave living there, but is out but Dave's partner invites him in saying he'll be back soon. Anyway it's well written and enjoyable making you want to see more episodes.

    everything english wit is about, even if it mainly deals with americans

    This is a brilliant piece of television. I became a fan from episode one featuring bob dylan and an english suburbs plumber. It is well directed superlatively acted and, most of all, deliciously written. It will take your face on an exercise class of smiles, laughs, giggles, and hilarity bursts; your co-trainees: cary grant, bob geldorf, conan doyle, marilyn monroe, johnny cash, david bowie and many more... My personal favorite: Public enemy feat kev wells. Go for it i promise you'll enjoy it.

    • Trivia
      An episode titled "Elizabeth, Michael, and Marlon" was planned, based on an alleged road trip that Dame Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, and Marlon Brando embarked on from New York City to Ohio in a rental car shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The casting of Joseph Fiennes as Jackson drew controversy (even Paris Jackson commented on it angrily), so the episode was pulled from the schedule.
