"Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much. Breaking Bad, Homeland done Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?"

Anyone started on the new Reacher yet?

Yeah.  It's nothing special but entertaining enough.

see what I mean.......

Royle Family was ok, Early Doors was fucking superb, Rovers was fucking gash

[El Scorchio]

Talking of slightly obscure British sitcoms from 20 years ago, anyone remember Time Gentlemen Please?

[El Scorchio]

15 Storeys High is fucking quality. It's mental how famous Benedict Wong has gone on to be as well.

'Oooooiiiiiii!'

'Come clean your hands on my coooooat'

Yes, i loved it but you probably have to be a fan of Sean's dry/deadpan delivery . A channel on YT called ChorltonBrook have all twelve episodes uploaded

 

 

Cheers mate, will give it a go.

White Lotus is so boring. 

[Manuel]

Manuel - Thanks, mate. I didn't go a bundle on the Clunes Reggie Perrin remake, but glad you enjoyed it. If you liked Royal Family I suspect you will enjoy Early Doors even more!

I think it was more to do with liking Clunes to be honest. Might give Early Doors another go.

Did you ever watch Still Game?

[Sydney_Iron]

Just starting Rogue Heroes, about the beginning of the SAS, slow start but building nicely and a fucking great soundtrack, Stranglers, Sham 69, ACDC etc tremendous stuff! 

[Gank]

I tried Early Doors but couldn't get into it, probably didn't give it enough time. Loved the Royal Family, though.

A White Lotus fan here, haven't started on the third series yet, set in Thailand.

I'm the other way round - absolutely hate Royle Family but love Early Doors

Early Doors on BBC iPlayer...criminally under-rated comedy rarely repeated on the BBC. Basically, it's The Royle Family set in a pub; the two lazy coppers are superb.

Are there still temporary traffic lights by the McVitie's factory?

And, more importantly, do you like circuses?

Surf - Will always remember you gave me the heads up on Reggie Perrin, which is brilliant, also went on the watch the remake with Martin Clunes. So might have to give Early Doors another look.

Fair enough!
If you haven’t already, when you get a chance, watch American Primeval on Netflix.
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the lead female character 

I don't have Netflix. I do love a Western, though. 

[Sydney_Iron]

Trailer park boys is my favourite series of all time their early stuff is incredible 

 

 

Agree, the early episodes are my favorite's too, gets a bit repetitive in later episodes, but this stuff you can go to any time, often go months then watch an episode and you pick it all up! 

Been watching The Blacklist on Netflix with James Spader for some months now, fuck knows how many episodes but have enjoyed it and still going! Again you can go a week or 2 and then pick it up for a few episodes, its a few years old now but gets a thumbs up from me.

[Nurse Ratched]

It's not possible to like every actor/actress. As far as the revolting Ygritte is concerned, it is the character I can't stand, not the actress.

[mallard]

Your hatred of actresses cracks me up Nursey - Gillian Anderson, Sandra Oh …… is there any more names to add to your dartboard?

[only1billybonds]

Nurse.

I've just finished re watching Game of Thrones and yes, it's magnificent. I got into it very late (2018) after being relentlessly nagged by my kids to give it a go. I sat through 2 episodes with my boy and i was hooked, i was on Amazon the next day buying the box set. So many great characters,storylines and locations, I really can't speak of it highly enough.
