some UK suggestions

Post by King Crimson »

Thick of It. great political satire, so profane it's unreal. Ian McShane's Al Swearingen is Wally Cleaver by comparison to Malcom Tucker. but, utterly sublime. so good.

Phoneshop: almost incomprehensible accents and jargon at times, but worth it.

the InBetweeners: got some good stuff, kids trying to get laid, jerking off, unreal expectations of getting some, lying about it,....works as a one-trick pony.

The World Around You: a parody of public cable access TV education shows in the UK. hilarious.

Green Wing: lot of people from other stuff (Big Train, Black Books, Peep Show, The Office, Spaced, etc)....pretty good so far.

Is 'The World Around You' the right name? Sounds interesting, I'm looking for it but can't find anything, never heard of it.

Look Around You, sorry.

Nice, took awhile but found it.

Alternatively, if you haven't already, check out Phoenix Nights. A few years old but I don't think there's any other show I could watch an episode over and over like that one.

'The Royle Family' is good, working class family sits around the television. I've got a friend from Leicester who moved to Budapest and said he watched it once and never again, it hit too close to home :lol:
