"O1BB If you enjoyed the very Canadian humour that is Schitz's Creek, I can recommend Corner Gas. Similar humour without the slightly annoying amounts of gay."

We recently finished Unforgotten season 2. Staring Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar. Excellent storytelling and thought it was much better than season 1. It's an ITV series....I downloaded it so didn't have to suffer the adverts.

The first series of Top Boy was directed by Londoner Yann Demange. He made the film ‘71 not long after and it looked like his career was about to explode but it didnt. Shame. Anyway he made a series called Lovecraft County in 2020. Anyone seen it? Any good?

"Gem's on the old roof rack these days, bang on the brown. and Swiss, you're massively wrong. Top Boy is brilliant regardless of whether you like the way they speak etc its accurate to how the 'yoof' of today speak and act. I think its a brilliant bit of British tv. Russ, love Schitts Creak. Catherine O'Hara is magnificent in it, comedy genius."

"Swiss. 2:17 Wed Aug 23 Arthritis in my feet and the fallout from an incident when a woman who couldn't speak a word of English (and looked like she'd be far happier rummaging about on a Bangladeshi rubbish dump picking old PCs to pieces to extract the copper than behind the wheel of her mum's Motability Mercedes) hit me from behind at 40mph as I was cycling to the Palace game at the London Stadium almost exactly two years ago. Smashed my pelvis, broke six ribs and drove away leaving me unconscious in the road. If it wasn't for some good old West Ham supporters dragging me out of the road and getting her registration I might not be here today. The cսnt has only just admitted liability after telling the police and insurance company some outrageous lies. Still, here we are..."

I've been looking at old series as most he recent stuff is shite. I really tried Succession but it didn't stick. Billions the same after 3 seasons though I found it repeatitive and Axel and Chuck's rivalry a bit too uch. The bald bird ruinied it as well. Wags and Dollar were good supporting characters. Now watching Spooks for the first time as I was out of the UK most of the time it was shown. Pretty good stuff.
