Diadora Van Basten Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just wondered if there are any other fans out there. I think it is/was absolutely brilliant but don’t know that many people who watched it. For those who haven’t seen it and would like to watch on Netflix my favourite episodes are: The final countdown Jen the Fredo Bad boys The work outing The dinner party Return of the Golden Child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trotter Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Massively under-rated IMO. Matt Berry is brilliant. Also, guest appearances by Belinda Stewart-Wilson (Will's Mum from The Inbetweeners) is always pleasant The episode with the electric sex pants (Tramps Like Us) is brilliant comedy.

Nixie Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Easily the best comedy there has ever been. Watched it numerous times and still laugh. The Work Outing tops it for me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the names are great "Ikbal Achieve" Ye IT crows is wonderful TV, some many good moments. I must say Chris Morris is a legend of comedy and Matt Berry isn't quite on his level, maybe he would be now though (the bit with him giving the Japanese guy his shoes is brilliant) and I also liked the bit where he dances at the nightclub. Cracks me up everytime. On 30/08/2019 at 20:03, Diadora Van Basten said: Street Countdown Brilliant.

Locky Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Always watched it when it was on and enjoyed it, then watched them all back to back a year or 2 ago on Netflix. I hadn't seen the last series until that point. Very underrated as mentioned. Lots of genuinely laugh out loud moments and I don't laugh out loud at TV that often.

shauncl Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 So trying to get into this but it just ain't happening, let me recommend Pete v life(on 4od or 5), plebs(every series) and Josh(Netflix) with a special mention to series 2 episode 2 one of the best episodes of a comedy ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
