The Undoing with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant  is good on Sky Atlantic...

I've been looking forward to this since I saw the trailer, I'm just waiting to have a few to watch in one go. It's from the same writers as Big Little Lies isn't it, and I really enjoyed that too.

How you finding it? I find the more you watch them the funnier they get. Series 1 isn't that good but most of the others are class.

Although series one had the pepper spray incident in Dream Job, I thought that was hilarious! 
Im really enjoying it.

Totally agree with that.  After Corona it has been poor and I prefer Googlebox on at the same time it is far more amusing

I tune into the first minute or so to see the "headlines" and they weren't funny the last time I watched

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Wow!!! Planet Earth 2, the footage of the catfish catching pigeons was absolute amazing. 

[Finnegan]

Actually really enjoyed Truth Seekers. 

 

Good laugh, I do like Nick Frost. 

 

I now have the Lincolnshire Poacher stuck in my head though.

I enjoy most satirical TV panel shows, with the exception of The Last Leg, which is dire, and I still like HIGNFY. What is lacking is an audience. Last Friday's show wasn't great, I agree.

Gogglebox remains very entertaining and funny. It's a bit Marmite, I understand that but me and Mrs Para both are in tears of laughter watching it.

Paul Merton ( who I generally quite like)

I'd quite like to see Merton replaced with James Acaster. Funny, quick witted and satirical.

Or maybe better, Bob Mortimer. A living, breathing jester of a comedian.

How about Lee Mack?

Re Have I Got News For You:

 

 

[foxile5]

Watching Swedish Dicks on Netflix. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Giving Sneaky Pete a try.

[fox766]

So I finally got round and decided to watch The Blacklist and then finally got all the way the end of season 6 to find out sky have lost the rights to the show. Can someone please let me know if there is anywhere else I can continue to watch it without having to pay for it.

Recently finished the US Office. Took about 6 months to do the 201 episodes. I thought it was great and the final 2 seasons without Steve Carell were probably my favourite. 

Soup you ignorant slut!

 

Pretty sure you are the only living human who prefers post Carel 😁😋

 

The US Office is the best comedy since 2005

Good call on Acaster. It needs someone of that ilk. Merton has looked completely disinterested for about a decade or so now, tbh. Not so sure about Mortimer on HIGNFY, he's utterly mesmerising and perfect on WILTY. Think it's a big gear shift for him as a regular.

 

I've not watched any of this series, think the lack of audience really hurts the show, but I did hear that she show the week before last was very good.

Haha really ? I did really enjoy the first 7 seasons but I thought the rest of the cast came in to show a bit more after he left.

 

I did miss Kelly when she left. Everything she said made me laugh
