I'm not a big Ricky Gervais fan at all but I think After Life is both poignant and really well observed. Hilarious and gut wrenchingly sad in equal measures. Trailer here:

any other suggestions of a good box set to while away the hours would be welcome. I'm not even furloughed and I'm bored

Friday night dinner is very good

Spooks ....if you like espionage/Goverment cover up stuff

 

[Evans Electric]

Theres always the only  half decent sit-com to come from the US  ....Frazier .... some good character roles & writing  in that  .   

Friday night dinner is very good

Thats worth it if just for the neighbour & his dog.  

For Drama  you could try  "Lark Rise to Candleford"  

Comedy , how about  "Blackadder "   which got better as it went along .        And the famous ending to the  World War 1 series is one of the most poignant moments in TV history   as they cleverly  wound down the comedy in the last two minutes  before going over the top......  The Hugh Laurie character says "  I say Sir , I'm er , I'm scared "      Then Baldrick ,, "I'm scared too Sir "  then ...in case you've not seen it  I'll say no more ,   other than  its a tear jerker.

Designated Survivor on Netflix

The New Statesman

Silent Witness....but it's a bit over the top in places

Jack,Hargreaves country series

Fred Dibnah

Father Ted

The Repair Shop

How  it's made/How do they do that but NOT the dumbed down version for the Yanks with a load of nobodies making pithy comments

Boxed set of RRs shortest dresses

Our family viewing last week was a binge of "Picard" on Amazon - to be recommended if you are a trekkie!

Abandoned Engineering is also worth a watch too.

 

[kerching]

League of Gentlemen......I've even been to see it live 4 times

not to everyone's sense of humour but I can't be responsible for that. Sometimes a bit close to the bone/nerve ( see Hilary Briss for more details or Mr Chinnery )

 

[Evans Electric]

Was that the  ...." Local"...   programme ?    I kept missing that .  

 

[revjames]

Thanks for all the suggestions. lark rise to Candlewick? I dont think so. Designated survivor, I had the flu  couple of years ago and we had access to Netflix and as I was up most nights I made my way through that series. Very good. Watched most of the abandoned engineering, how is it done, basically anything about manufacturing or scientific is sky plussed by my son (High functioning autistic) so he's always gor something recording - not sure about the drain the oceans, but he likes it.

Came across a good series last night called Mister Winner. only seen one episode so far but looks promising.

Coopers Treasure on Quest is interesting too

 

[OnOff]

Uncle I enjoyed. Equal measures of dark and light. 

Bad Education did it for me too. Fresh Meat...

The Orville if you like sci-fi. A Million Wsys To Die In The West. Seth Macfarlane is a genius imo.

I think that possibly the best EVER is the fashion show...watch it and you will know why

 

[Evans Electric]

The Fashion show  ?????  Whats that ?          Oh  ! Don't tell me RR is in it . 

 

[OnOff]

Ooh! Hard pushed to choose my favourite episode. The caravan one with Jay's Dad in the karzi, Peado Kennedy, Big John eating two yoghurts...

Quite liked the first film too, Mr Gilbert's leavers speech is just brilliant.

 

[kerching]

The Fashion show  ?????  Whats that ?          Oh  ! Don't tell me RR is in it . 

Is an episode of the Inbetweeners

its a tale of requited love

discrimination of a the disabled

one upmanship

a badly fiiting thong

watch it please

Can't recall if White Gold has been mentioned? A couple of the Inbeweeners actors in it (Jay & Simon playing to type tbh). About the rise of the double glazing industry. If you lived the 80's yuppie explosion and had a Ford Orion it'll hit the spot!





And if you can find it, Way To Go. An underrated gem imo. 3 friends set up a euthanasia business for elderly customers. Cancelled by the BBC for a second series on the grounds of bad taste apparently. Stars Blake Harrison (again ex the Inbeweeners but he's very good).
