This.
I wasn't around when it was on TV, but I sat and watched my uncle's DVD collection and found it histerical.

Now, I laughed very hard at it as I percieved it as very Ironic. 71, Cat, Ed Byrne, have I been living a lie all this time or is it actually irony?

I also loved The Likely Lads (and Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?), Benidorm and Phoenix Nights.

Heroes is back on Monday.

Oh and has anyone been watching that Pritchard and Dainton (off of Dirty Sanchez) programme? It is pant wettingly funny.

The 'jap-scat' scene and the one when he gets a leech caught on his bell-end are hilarious.

I missed that, really wanted to watch it.


I have to admit to a love of American TV too. 24 is my favourite, closely followed by Lost.

I'm also a really huge fan of the 'Extraordianry People' type programmes you get on Fiver and DMAX. Been some amazing documentaries and they tend to make you greatful for what you have.

Who are you? Scott Mills? You know, him "off of" Radio 1?!? I hate him for saying that. Don't you start.

Rented this through Lovefilm simply because Steve Pemberton is in it (and I love League of Gents) and actually really enjoyed it. It's my nightmare holiday and I found it hilarious.

Steve Pemberton is a) a comedy genuis and b) has the greatest surname. Ever.

Is it yours?

Not exclusively

Very mysterious. And he is a comedy genius. In fact all the Gents are.

A truly excellent series.

Did you watch Whitechapel? He was in that, and did a cracking job of making the transition into more dramatic acting. His influence on the writing was quite apparent, too.

I think one of the programmes that truly stands out for me was "This Life". I loved it. Was one of the greatest series ever made.

As for the TV discussion in general, I enjoy a very wide variety of television shows; possibly too much to name here, but I'll try and mention some of my all time favourites.

Comedy: Mock The Week, Red Dwarf, Game On, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Specific American chat shows, A Town Called Eureka

Drama: X-Files, The Shield, This Life, Heroes, Due South (comedy element), Sleeper Cell, Dexter.

Currently, and in recent times, FX have been churning out some absolutely cracking series; Burn Notice, Generation Kill, The Listener etc.

No I bloody missed that too but it's on my Lovefilm list

Only Fools and Horses,Friends,The Simpsons,Family Guy..
Ross Kemp on Gangs/Afghanistan.
Donal McIntyre stuff(not dancing on ice

)

Only Fools and Horses
CSI...all 3 of them
8 out of 10 cats
Babestation
Babecast

I don't listen to Radio 1. Lately it is Rock Radio 106.1 all the way.

Same here. Me and Bethany tune in during the day, trying to get her started early you know?

You are my hero! How can a halfwit, who can't communicate correctly be employed to broadcast? Totally beyond me.

He is one brave fella.

Mike Sweeney, Legend!!!!!!!!!

Probably my favourite. Loads of stuff already mentioned but anything written by Chris Morrison (Brass Eye, Jam, Nathan Barley), QI, most Partridge (Saxondale gets funnier each watch)

The golden comedy oldies that stick in my mind are 'The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin', 'Fawlty Towers' & 'Rising Damp'. A little later, but I always liked 'Sorry' too ("Langauge Timothy"icon_wink.gif.

Non comedy would be 'Twin Peaks' and 'GBH'. Until recently GBH was available on the Virgin Media On Demand service so I managed to watch the complete 11 (or so) hours of it. Just as good as I remembered with a rollercoaster ride for the emotions. Early appearances too from several modern day established stars, including a naked Amanda Mealing (Connie Beauchamp in Holby City)
