These clips were good though.If a show has a big inflatable penis in it it has to be funny.
 
So that's where you live Tony?If you want to see the city I live in just watch Homicide:Life on the Street or The Wire.Dead


I love The Wire. Been watching it in glorious HD recently. Trouble is after watching it I go around calling everybody m*****f****** N*****H*** Embarrassed

LOL
 
The area in The Wire is a bit deeper into the city,about a 15 minute drive from my house.I refuse to go there,it's a war zone.
 
I can walk to Duff's (Ace of Cakes) shop from my house,and most of Homicide:Life on the Street was actually filmed in my neighborhood.

Has anyone ever watched Goodnight Sweetheart with Nicholas Lyndhurst?Lyndhurst plays a tv repairman who discovers a time portal in an alley that allows him to travel to 1940 London during the Blitz.He falls in love with a woman there and spends the series going back and forth,trying to balance a life in the 40's and the 90's and having a wife and another woman in both eras.My wife and me consider that a hidden gem that we discovered,and own and have watched all six series of the show.
I started watching it when it first started, but I failed to find the notion of making a comedic hero out of a philandering bigamist in anyway humorous - shame really because the lead actors are very good, especialy Dervla Kirwan. Perhaps I'm wrong in this view, but it came out at a time when all the programs on TV seemed to be about infidelity and divorce, as if that was all the scriptwriters knew what to write about - of course that is still true today.
What?

Me and my wife were at the library today and saw series 1 & 2 of Spaced there and rented it.
 
Funnier than hell,we watched the first five episodes and both nearly busted a gut laughing.
 
Love all the numerous pop culture references throughout the shows.

OMFG! 

Did NOBODY yet mention the ONLY show necessary for me in all of eternity... 
NIGHTY NIGHT

Brilliant, brilliant and the darkest, craziest, funniest show to come from the talented stable of the production company Baby Cow (Steve Coogan's company).

Written and starring Julia Davis -- and they even use Marillion's Lavender in a crazy dance sequence in episode one

No-one mentioned Hale and Pace?

Or Goodness Gracious Me? Sanjeev Bashkar is incredible!

Or Jeeves and Wooster...or You rang, M'lrod?...or early episodes of On the buses...or Oh, Doctor Beeching...

And...
Not the 9 o'clock news...

It's sick -- and starts off very subtle and slow, but hang on through seconde episode and you'll be hooked.  Truly sadistic fun!
