Binge watched all 3 series in a couple of very late nights. Can't wait for the next one. Oldman is fat, flatulent, unwashed and bloody brilliant in it.

The 8 Slow Horses books are fantastic too!

Nationwide adverts pointing out the dodgy activities of the big 4 banks.
Hilarious too!

actually like that bridge of lies programme mainly because its not padded out asking contestants loads of questions about their lives that are boring to many including me.

is that talking pictures you mean. its great when you start watching it but they must have a limited number of films and series to show as eventually you see the same things repeated over and over again like the bbc.

YouTube, pick and choose what you want to watch, some great documentaries and footballing stories and up to date news. fella downloaded Smart Tube for me, no adverts

Still Game. One of the best things that I have ever watched for a good laugh. Apart from the final episode

What made Still Game great was there were actually pubs and characters like that, same the Coronation Street from the old days.

I'm about half way through watching it for the 8th time, It's brilliant, but the first time watching it and that final episode! bloody hell I just wasn't expecting that ending and the tears genuinely ran freely, I was really upset and it brought it home that I actually had come to bond with the characters and it was like losing a friend or family member. Fantastic writing and acting. sadx

Anyone remember a Series from the 80’s about a group of builders in the late 40’s called ‘Big Jim and the Figaro Club’…loved it .
