Framed

I found this movie to be absolutely delightful and a perfect weld between privileged society and the average everyday person. I loved the children in the movie - their ingenuity and wit. The adults characters were also well done. Mr. Davis' character was touching, especially his reaction to the painting of the boats. As you got to know each character in the movie you became more endeared to the town and to human nature. The movie made me laugh as well. I loved the part about Mr. Davis and his thoughts on liver. These days it's very hard to find entertainment that is enjoyable and easy to watch. It was an excellent movie in that it showed how art inspires and changes people, and makes life better. There was a lot of heart and depth in that little Welsh town, and it rubbed off on the art expert who came to stay for a while. I would watch this type of movie any day, over the titillating, violent rubbish that's out there. Kudos to those who still know how to make an awesome viewing experience!

The comments from the "racism, pure and simple" viewer might hold more sway if he or she wasn't called "bingedrinkingisamazing" from Wales.

Your credibility is slightly damaged by that... As for the accusation that Welsh people were portrayed as bumbling idiots, there was the usual smattering of jerks you get in any comedy drama set anywhere, and a lot of the characters were shown to be intelligent, witty and sensitive to the paintings.

Eve Myles shows herself to be capable of comedy as well as the Dr Who/Torchwood genre and Trevor Eve was his usual brilliant self. The kids in the drama did a great job too...thoughtful and comedic all at once.

I thought it was funny, interesting, diverting and a clever premise for a drama. Nothing to moan about here!

Framed is a terrific, comedy drama, with a story about discovery and self discovery.

People are offended by this? Seriously? As a proud Welshman I loved every minute of it, the performances are joyous, it's charming, cosy, funny, moving and heart warming. It has some really surprising scenes.

The two old ladies are a comedy joy, Margaret John a much missed legend, so funny. Eve is fantastic as the serious curator who receives a wake up call. Some fine young Welsh talent, with most doing very nicely now.

I didn't want it to end. 9/10

I can't believe we're still making programmes depicting Welsh people as bumbling village idiots in 2009.

Stuff your PC rubbish, this is racism, pure and simple.

Also, why did every single person have a South Walian accent when it was set in North Wales? They'd never make a programme set in Liverpool and cast a bunch of Cockneys to play native born Scousers.

Do your research.

In fact, if you're going to make a programme this offensive and inaccurate, just don't bother.

It wasn't any good anyway.

Must say I agree with the "bingedrinking..." user name comment. This was an awful film, totally racist and insulting to Wales and the Welsh people. It made the Welsh out to be a bunch of bumbling village idiots from the get go, akin to that "The League of Gentleman" show on the BBC. The horrible comment right at the beginning of the film about the Welsh tourist board laughing when the secretary called up to ask for a 3 star hotel was disgraceful. It was essentially saying "a 3 star in Wales, you must be joking!". The producer also gave the school teacher a deliberate overbite and large gap right in her front teeth, how cruel and crude. Most of the children were also given large gaps in their front teeth also. It was shameful. It was also set in North Wales, yet no one, and just to be clear, NO ONE, had a North Welsh accent, they were ALL from South Wales. Was the producer and researchers who made this film being deliberately derogatory to Wales or were they just ignorant and absolutely thick? I watched this joke of a film for a short time before switching it off in disgust. I was abroad in the US and was hoping to see something of North Wales in all it's true glory and absolute splendor. North Wales is absolutely stunning, the people extremely friendly and highly educated. Wales also outperformed the rest of the UK in terms of exports last year (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-26465497). Yet this horrendous film would just try to belittle Wales and the Welsh. I will be writing to the producer of this film for an explanation.
