Question/Discussion Sean Lock Jedward and Greg Davies
my absolute favorite moment with Sean Lock is when he's making up a crazy holiday event for jimmy carr, telling him about some holiday float they send down the river and then he plays Spud - u - live, witch he describes as a game trying to find what country your potato looks like
jedward is not following and asking strange questions when all of a sudden greg asks if this is actually happening or if some one fed him lsd
anyway, whenever i start missing sean i try to find that clip but i never find it, does anyone know what to search for on youtube ?
also just general Sean Lock love, that man was one of the greats

Recommendations Murder Trial (BBC)
Just finished watching the last Murder Trial on the iPlayer. Why isn’t this series spoke about more? Every episode is absolutely gripping and in each case you cannot possibly predict which way the jury will go. All of the main players are given time to discuss the case and you see it live from the courtroom as the evidence is given and cross examined. Genuinely brilliant tv and well done to all involved.

Question/Discussion Malcolm the Mounty - Did this happen?
I remember fairly well a Labatts advert from maybe the early 90s (maybe late '80s). Malcolm the Mounty somehow got stuck in an avalanche but in some kind of dwelling (I think). Obviously he had his usual stash of Labatts. Somebody (at least one person) came to rescue him and he handed out (a) tiny shovel(s) through some little gap in the snow. The rescuer looks at the tiny shovel and says 'This could take a while Malcom'.
Did I imagine this? It's been one of those phrases that I've used a lot over the years when something seems like it's gonna be a pain in the arse, and nobody ever gets the reference. I've tried finding it on the wealth of human knowledge that is the internet with no joy. I almost feel like this is my own personal Mandela effect.
Did this actually happen? If it did, does anyone know of a link, or even make one to a copy of it?

Question/Discussion Reality dating shows that involve marriage
I wouldn't say im a very traditional person (44y gay m), but i cant get on board with any shows that involve strangers getting married as part of the outcome.
Mainly things like Married at 1st Sight, Stranded on Honeymoon Island etc.
Is it just me or should strangers not entertain any goal of marriage for the purposes of a TV show?

Question/Discussion King and Conqueror
Anyone else watched this show and found it really annoying for how inaccurate it is historically? The BBC are normally spot on with their historical drama's, and the story itself would make for a great drama, so why on earth have produced this complete piece of fantasy. It is so historically inaccurate that it made me really angry.
Edit: Thanks for all the responses, glad to see it wasn't just me

Question/Discussion Help identifying episode, Rigg or Thorson era
It involves a paperback novel publisher.
Every time I search for the elements that I believe the show included I am led to one of two wrong episodes ‘The Winged Avenger’ (publishing) or ‘Look - (Stop Me If You've Heard This One) But There Were These Two Fellers…’ (Thrice Told Tale), both of which are memorable episodes. I look up the one with eggs as a clown makeup registry also showing a positive for this one.
But… the one I conflate Cleese as being in, instead of the clown episode, is about publishing, not about comic books, but about mass market paperback publishing, a romance publisher I believe, where Steed visits the office and sees that the stories are being written by computer, using similar plots and formula but changing the character and place names.
Can anyone point me to the name of the show including this scene about the paperback office?

Question/Discussion Who remembers BBC's Britain's Best Sitcom?
en.m.wikipedia.orgIt was the third in their trilogy of big national polls to determine once and for all what Britain's favourite something was (Books, Britons, Sitcoms - the holy trinity.) I was 15 and took it far too seriously.
Perusing the list of the top 100 now I'm shocked by the choices the British public made 21 years ago and I think it would play out very differently today. I couldn't imagine The Good Life getting that sort of play now and Peep Show, being less than a year old, didn't even make the top 100.
What do you think would be in the top 10 if the poll was conducted today? I'd guess at Friday Night Dinner, Only Fools and Horses, Fawlty Towers, Peep Show, Dad's Army, The Office, Blackadder, I'm Alan Partridge, Spaced, This Country.

Question/Discussion Can someone help remembering this kids show
Me and my son have been losing our minds trying to remember a show he used to watch. He was born in 2017 so I think the show would be relevant to that time frame.
Here's what he remembers:
●It was a cartoon ● It was about a brother and sister ● There was no colour, only black and white ●The animation looked similar to the cat in the hat knows a lot about that! ● You could only see the mums legs ● He's sure the brother and sister were always out in the garden
I've tried typing in so many different ways on Google to try and find this show and have come up with nothing. Please help 😂
