I remember watching a British tv series on YouTube (I live in the us) around the years 2009-11. The series was a horror series and would follow different individuals stories of ghosts and hauntings with re-enactments. I vaguely remember the name “haunted Britain” or “haunting Britain” maybe. The show looked like it was from anywhere between late 90s to late 2000s. I’ve searched and searched and haven’t been able to find it anywhere.

Started watching the new series Mr Loverman the other day, and I think it's tremendous.

About an elderly Antiguan Brit. Fled Antigua as a young lad, after he and his male lover were caught in the act.

Barry and his lover both married, and continued a homosexuals affair for decades. Bad stuff ensues.

Was a bit hesitant at first, but it really is great. Is on BBC iPlayer. Well worth a watch

Are there any programmes where you felt a sense of satisfaction at seeing injustices corrected and the bad guys got punished. I was watching a BBC series on the works of organisations such as trading standards and it was pleasing to see rogue traders get punished eg a cowboy builder being sent to prison.

Hello, My opinion is that he’s a bit bonkers however many things he says has true in it, but he ruins it by ending it with something daft. In his earlier days when he said he was “The son of god” I think we can all agree he might have been suffering from some sort of delusion. The Lizard theory is slightly less wacky but still laughable and completely bullshit, obviously with no true at all. I do think Terry could have been more sympathetic to David inside of making a snide comment, however to be fair Terry did say “I was a bit sharp with that comment”.

Looking to watch and rank all of these on letterboxd now we're in the festive season, and was wondering if anyone had a comprehensive list of all of them because I can't seem to find one online. To clarify I'm talking about the stuff like The Snowman, Father Christmas, and Mog's Christmas that they release every year on Christmas day. Many thanks 🙏

Anyone watch this? I'm a little younger but I have seen quite a bit of these sketches on YouTube, TikTok. My favorite had to be the gramophone sketch and the multiple toilets in one bathroom. Are there anymore good ones?

Tell me your favourites

*note to mods, I know it's not "art" as such but it's items related to British Telly.

A 1983 Roland Rat. I was born in 85, so I kinda remember it some what.

The sooty puppet, take this with a pinch of salt, this is what my nan told me, and she told me alot of things, usually not true. The sooty sow was on at the theatre she worked at and was given this by, now she says Harry Corbett. But for the time period, it was probably his son. I can't say if this is true or not. She did however have a book of autographs of people who did perform at the theatre, even had a tambourine used by Shawaddy Waddy so who knows, even when she'd tell the truth you could mistaken her for stretching the truth 😅

And the last, is a poster for Button Moon. Gotta be around 88? Or there abouts I would assume. Was told that I cried when it was on st the theatre and had to go home 😅. Got vague memories of it being on the TV though as a kid.

Probably not so interesting to some, but it's a nice little throw back to my early years.

I need recommendations pls. I have Prime, Britbox and Acorn, but so many of the shows are cop shows or people killing each other. I enjoy a good mystery but am tired of gore and brutality. Surely there must be mysteries that don't involve sicko serial killers or twisted criminal nutjobs. I'm not into real sentimental or heartwarming stuff either. I loved Last Tango in Halifax, for example. Thanks for any advice!

I'm 24 and growing up my mum used to watch neighbours and home and away. Before they were shown I can't remember if it was still channel 5 or if it was channel 4 there were movies played. Is this still the case? Only reason I'm asking is because I used to enjoy those moments when I was not at school and watching them with her.

I used to love discovering and watching classic movies on TV but nowadays they've all been snatched up by streaming services or Sky. It feels nice to see Star Wars on regular TV again

Before I start I know, it's for kids. But even having to see some of it passively really grinds my gears.

Nikhil & Jay - are whinny gits that have the run of the house that just get everything they want, even when they're making tons mess and noise

Bing Bunny - he's an absolute arsehole that never gets punished. Even when he breaks a literal window and his Carer Flop just goes, ' that's fine bing let's all go to the park and have a picnic - Hooray!' No! - you teach that bunny some fucking responsibility for his actions! His arse would be shining! And don't even get me started on Pando... (add your own hammer 🔨 fantasies here!)

Vida the Vet, Molly and Mack, Pablo (fucking hell Pablo....) that fucker goes on mute the second I hear his retched singing,

I know I've gone on a rant and I promise I'm not a sexist/racist/whatever just first thing in the morning when im still unpealing my eyes they get me so angry 🤣🤣

There used to be a cartoon before the early evening news each weekday. Will O’ the Wisp and the Magic Roundabout were two, but I think there were others. Mavis Curette and worms in a flying mushroom (Agronuts?) where from Will, and Florence, Zebedee and Dougal were in Magic Roundabout. Were there other cartoons during that slot, ever? Was Ivor the Engine one? Can you name the characters in any of the programs listed?

I felt like it was just a bit lacking. I think Ella Purnell was great but I think the writing didn't really do her justice.

Any series where the protagonist is "the bad guy" I think you need to have an element of them being likeable and/or competent before the mask slips.

Dexter, YOU or even breaking bad all did a great job (especially early on) of somewhat making you root for them.

Sweetpea just came across as a bit pathetic and I struggled to really root for her. She was just someone who blamed her own failings on others and can't let go of the past.

I also didn't think there was enough "justification" for her victims. For instance you can somewhat root for Dexter as a protagonist because the people he is going after are absolutely despicable but sweetpea didn't really have the same stakes. The first victim did try to hurt her so I guess it was somewhat self defense but she provoked him first. Also the fact she made sure his obituary was inflammatory and intentionally upset the family purely to satisfy her own need to justify his murder was horrid. The family didn't deserve that even if their son was dick.

I just felt like mask slipped almost immediately and I never really got that "wait. I shouldn't be rooting for this character" moment. I think these type of shows really need that internal conflict and it didn't delivery as well as say Dexter.

Wonder why she hasn’t been in a lot more series? Watching the last years of New Tricks and she’s great (not a huge fan of the replacement guys) — anyone know why she hasn’t had more tv work?

Been watching antiques road trip and I wondered if anyone knows how they pick the auction houses? It seems that most if not all are empty or have about six people in them, I know it’s a bit of fun but it’s for charity so you would think they would pick somewhere that would fill up and that would make it more interesting.

I love watching 8 out of 10 cats whilst working from home mostly for Sean Lock's genius. YouTube just threw up his roast of Bruce Forsyth which was brilliant. I like a roast, spit, Sunday or otherwise but never knew the UK did roasts!

Can you recommend to me or share some links of some brilliant UK roasts?

Much obliged.

Thoroughly enjoy watching this show over and over, first time i watched was when it was originally broadcast!

Recently discovered that Kim, Guy and Richard (Helga, Gruber and Herr Flick) have a podcast on Spotify called Listen Very Carefully where they discuss each show. Anyone else been listening to this, or just enjoy the show?
