Is anyone watching this? It’s on at a funny time of night and hasn’t been heavily promoted, but if you loved them bickering in Good Omens you’ll probably love this. Like The Trip except they don’t go anywhere.

It’s all on iPlayer (six fifteen-minute episodes).

Watched the first one - just managed to catch it on the off chance. It was hilarious!

And I noticed DT has a Tardis in his garden!

It's very funny and excellent production values. It shows what can be done in the current circumstances.

We binged it today. It was mostly hilarious - particularly the guest actors. It could have just been them with Michael and David ranting at each other for 6 episodes too Grin I don't think it needed the ill neighbour or the friend in labour subplots.

We binged it last night. So so funny. Loved it and have been recommending it all day.

I’m watching it. Unfortunately other half produced a film with Tennant was in once and his missus was such a nightmare diva to everyone, they are both now banned in this household. I have to watch in secret!

It's called Staged @Flamingo, and all episodes are on iplayer. Very reminiscent of The Trip and I am bingewatching the lot as it has made me laugh so much. Bloody well done to all involved, it's joyous.

Say down to watch one episode quickly and ended up watching the whole lot! Brilliant. The last guest star is brilliant.
I replayed the first episode but still can’t see a tardis in his garden. Think I need Specsavers.

@lazymum99 the tardis is in the top right hand corner of the screen when DT gets off his sunbed.

We watched the whole lot last night. Excellent. In (I think) the second to last one they even billed David Tennant in the credits the way they agreed when they were arguing about it. Hard to explain without a spoiler,

The credits of each episode are possibly my favourite bit.

I also love the lockdown hair. I know David Tennant had extensions for a role he was supposed to be playing but Michael Sheen's mop was quite impressive. And it proves how high maintenance the last guest's usual style is. I'd have to go to the hairdresser every week if I had that cut.

Georgia and Anna are also great in it 😂

Hilarious 😂😂😂
