Let's have a TV shows thread.

I love The Office but struggle with Peep Show. I don't mind the whole POV aspect and I like David Mitchell but it just does nothing for me. Not sure I particularly like Webb with his weasely face though.

Peep Show is the all time great for me

Phoenix Nights tops both The Office and Peep Show for me

I’d hate to call you a racist at my dinner party.

Been blasting through Supernatural again, the first 3 or 4 seasons are brilliant.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Series 2 of Peep Show is the GOAT

We sort of fell into Normal People ..  saw it got excellent reviews ..  gentle romance but superbly done and very enjoyable ..  up to episode 5 ..

 

And bugger me Harry Maguire plays the lead role ..   so he does so he does ..  

 

Read about it on BBC earlier and was quite taken in by it. Started watching it tonight.

Not even a fan of basketball but the “Last Dance” Chicago Bulls/Michael Jordan documentary on Netflix has been great. X

Four more episodes to come. Can't wait. Very well-made, brings back memories.

Started watching The Test today. Always been a cricket fan and the series is brilliant. My girlfriend detests cricket but even shes watching it with me.

Also, it's weird knowing Connell's mum is only just a bit older than Connell in real life  

She's far too young to play his mum.

I’m always a bit behind but The Office is pretty good isn’t it.

Extras is also classic comedy IMO. Both series available on BBC iPlayer.

I’ve watched a couple of them.

 

I’ve just nearly died on episode 5 of the office where Gareth turns down a 3some and then you see his face in the side car.

This corona virus must be saving the BBC a fortune. Every other programme is filmed in someone's living room with a web cam. No cameraman,soundman,lighting,director,make up or writer.

The most important decision of the day for many is where to place their webcam. Bookcases in the background seem to be a big favourite. Footballer’s homes seem to be pretty tasteful although Pardew was showing was showcasing a horrendous set of floral curtains on The Football Show this morning

First thing I'm doing after lockdown is definitely not going out drinking with Ratty and The Nonce.

I've just discovered The Joy Of Painting with Bob Ross on Amazon Prime.  It was made in the late 80s and even though I can't paint, watching his little landscapes come to life and his charming commentary and instruction, is like taking a hot bath or something.

 

Yes, I'm getting older and duller, but try it, I found it addictive and like a big spoonful of strawberry Zen.

Used to love this in the summer holidays as a kid...
