I think I'm going to be disappointed if I check this out, because right now that's hilarious. I think I'm picturing Simon Quinlank. Edit: Haha, I just googled "kevin eldon eastenders" and he now gets to be described as "Game of Thrones Actor Kevin Eldon". BizarroAzrael fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Mar 7, 2018 |

Weak Lemon Drink Kevin Eldon. This Country resonates with me somewhat, coming from the West Country I knew a lot of people who spoke and acted like them. All of them. Especially Mandy.

Despite being Cornish and living more in a run down market town This Country also resonates quite well.

I do a podcast about Peep Show and my cohost turned me on to This Country and People Just Do Nothing. I was just curious because I obviously have nobody in real life to discuss it with.

I'm from a few miles away from where This Country was filmed and it's all too real. Nowadays I live where they filmed Back and it's much nicer.

I’m in the US these days and had my (American) wife watch the first few minutes to see if she could understand the accent ok out of curiosity, and she could pick up most of it. It’s pretty dense. It’s another show most of us will be able to relate to in some respect. There was also a film that was pretty good, but I’m enjoying the show a bit more personally. It feels like Britain is back on the train of putting out good shows again? And they’re not taking forever between seasons? Blimey.

Watching that ‘Mum’ show that was mentioned. Enjoying so far, although it feels like it was commissioned by someone who liked ‘Grandmas House’ but didn’t like the Simon Amstell aspect. Pauline is driving me mad though, I’m not sure how much more of her I can take.

I wish the UK did some sci-fi. It's depressing that Sky never makes anything that appeals to me and I have to get it all from Netflix. It's all tedious dramas that I have no interest in (and it feels like nobody else does either).

...Red Dwarf? I think scifi shows are too expensive or not the coming thing. I'm trying to think of the shows w/ that level of budget and they're all Game of Thronesy.

Mr. Squishy posted:...Red Dwarf? I don't know if I count comedy. Don't get me wrong, I do love Red Dwarf but it's 6 episodes every 5 years sort of level with that. And Black Mirror is Netflix now because C4 stopped making it. Electric Dreams I did totally forget about though, that definitely counts. It's a shame it's a bit crap.

Misfits was great until Nathan left. Also there was another E4 thing based off a comic book which I seem to remember was pretty good but I can't remember the name.

She wouldn't have a sense of humour about it.

Misfits was never spectacular, but it was consistently good. Nathan leaving didn't make much of a difference because his character was a massive oval office.

Akuma posted:It wasn’t quite the same after that but Rudy was legit a great character(s) and a really good replacement after you got your head around him being superficially similar but really quite different. Misfits was a weird case where they had a very obvious replacement character who pivoted to becoming the only good character.

RIP Doddy, I saw him live twice and was the youngest audience member by a good 30 years or so, he was excellent. His first Audience With... is etched into my brain from repeated viewings https://youtu.be/C4znpOdPRrg Lemon fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Mar 12, 2018 |

I thought he had died years ago, on stage, but apparently I'm thinking of someone else. I actually saw some of Ant and Dec this weekend as my parents love their Saturday night show. I was amazed at how retro it was. They even did that hidden camera thing where they surprise people at home, Noel Edmonds style. Then there were big musical numbers which reminded me of something from the 80s.
