Oh gosh, you're gonna love it... and then it's all over so fast! 
So happy you're seeing it!!
Bill Bailey
Dylan Moran and
Tamsin Greig
"The only stars we're going to see Manny... are Dunlop stars."
"Michelin stars."
My recommendation is to buy or pipe the DVDs with audio commentary. The first 2 seasons have the 3 talking and jabbering nonstop. Funny fucking stuff.
That’s a great series. Thanks for reminding me of it!
I've been watching Dylan Moran's standups and Bill Bailey's concerts lately, not that I don't know all of them for decades. I love them both so much🔥 #billbailey #musicstr
My favorite part of the whole show is the piano. "Spoon me." 🤌
We got through the first six eps and would've done more but I was sleepy 😂.
Some recs from people have been meh, Tigs has been on fire.
A season a day is enough even though that show is limitless 😂
It's UK made tho so 30minutes an episode without adverts compared to USA and their 21 minute airtime.
I think it's the lack of syndicated commercials and general garbage MADE to distract you from the very thing you're tuned in for!!
P.S. 3 hours (6 eps) is commendable for a first viewing and especially with the dreadful laughter track some shows do... except the laughter really IS laughter in this one :D
"I have brought my father, my grandfather and my great grandfather from Odessa just to hear you play!"
Yeah!! Got all of Bailey's concerts :D Sadly only found one so far of Moran's though.
Bailey does amazing work in Tinselworm from memory. So many cool instruments he can play!
Moran's CONCERTS????
Ooh, the Three blind mice. I must binge today. 🤌 It's like a Man from Acapulco, I know every detail, yet can watch 80 times.
When it comes to shows, I hope you're familiar with Red Dwarf. 👀
Anything but doing the taxes. Calling mother. The Jehova witnesses. Pair all socks. Anything. I can so relate to him.
You could say that my life has been one of indulgence from day one haha. I take my media very seriously, it is the pinnacle of free human expression to me.
I'm disgusted frankly with humanity and some peoples desire to cancel culture, and episodes and movies and books and games and music too. These things only enrich everyones lives so I don't quite get it.
I am only who I am because of the great media I have consumed like an avarice junkie haha. If anything it lets me discern what is good and what is well... crap 😂
Got my multicultural upbringing to thank 🙏 4 year olds don't usually grow up on Monty Python 😁
Hahah yeah it's been a while but gonna queue that one now!! Red Dwarf, BlackAdder and several UK shows truly are the pinnacle of comedy
So true. Every line and voice is in your head but you still have to appease it hahah.
Seen it with the commentary Bearetta? It brings on a whole new perspective. My life changed when I started commentary tracks lol
I found myself just binging the usual tv series lately. The Big fat quiz of the year is great, also 8 out of 10 cats playing Countdown or Would I lie to you. It's the same gang over and over and it's perfect just to buzz by when I'm manually working.
Ah you seen Peep Show then I'm guessing? David Mitchell is fricking amazing. Rob Brydon and Lee Mack also are awesome but Peep Show to me is up there as one my mega favs
There's Last one Laughing UK, still very same people including Richard Ayoade and Jimmy Carr, for some reason I found that fun to watch twice. It's not "funny," but watching comedy professionals trying to crack each other (and not themselves) is wild.
NO I DID NOT GIMME THE LINK
I watch an entire series one night when I was babysitting as a teenager
Fantastic show
What a good choice. ❤️
Holy shit balls!!! Ok ill send dm
Yeah i buy all my media or make sjre i have digital copies of the original TV airings. Fuck hollywood and how they disrespect works already done.
Young ones is fantastic! You talking about Rik Mayall in Drop Dead Fred?! Also Bottom was hilarious with Adrian Edmonson and Rik Mayall.
The greats dont even get aired anymore. Television is grey sludge now so I advise everyone keep backups of everything in digital format or dvd. Trust me, bring your children and loved ones REAL media. Be a fucking rebel because if you won't then your children will become grey sludge 😭😭😭
I have the series 1-2-3 outtakes and deleted scenes. Wish I could find the ones with the commentary!
I swear I almost died when my sister said she thought Manny said he swallowed a bucket of cum, not "the little book of calm"
Commercials are shit. We ditched tv way before it was cool (before dvd netflix was a thing 😳). We have tons of dvds from those days, so I have a particularly strong hatred for commercials.
Is something I, I person of good taste, would like?
I only remember watching bits and pieces, it was on late at night here. Need to watch it.
I giggled a lot, and the people in this thread that are gushing are people who make me laugh... It's definitely worth a try.
Alright. Will look it up in a bit
I hope you enjoy it!

Go watch Father Ted and the IT Crowd if you haven't seen them too. If I had to choose the funniest comedy series I have ever seen it would be Father Ted and Linehan was involved in all of them.
We tried to watch Father Ted with my boys recently but they couldn’t get over how distracting the laughter track is. A real shame
That is a shame, it did put me off it the first time I watched it but I found it eventually adds to the cheesy out of date feeling of it all kind of like the 70's wallpaper and Dougal's He-Man duvet cover.
IT Crowd is my absolute favourite 🤩
We watched IT crowd last night, it was hilarious!
Loving IT Crowd, first season of that one done 😂.

I’ve watched and rewatched it so often and I laugh every single time 💜😂
I'm so sad it's taken us this long to watch it. I was laughing so hard when they were talking about sports 🤣
I’m so excited you’re watching it!!
Half my memes are from this show. You will now understand me a lil bit better 💜
And bonus we can now communicate in it crowd mode 😂
The Wrong Mans is great too.
Not UK, but similar vibe, Other Space is an amazing underrated space comedy.
