I remember watching Game On years ago and we were having a clear out the other day and I found the DVD of it so I’ve been watching it. Love it all over again Grin

Another Lead Balloon fan here.

I’ve also been rewatching Fifteen Storeys High and Human Remains recently.

After years of thinking I wouldn't like Gavin and Stacey I decided to give it a go a few weeks ago and loved it. Actually started rewatching it after i finished and Netflix removed series 1.

Same with Two and A Half Men refused to watch it for years and then decided to watch it and loved that too.

Watched Outnumber last week, it wasn't anything special but I did enjoy it in a comforting sort of way.

I love love love Dad's Army & Keeping Up Appearances and continually watch them all year round, I never get tired of them but DH and kids do Grin

Are you being Served?

Can't believe I'm the first to say 'Keeping Up Appearances' Shock

One Day at a Time.
Terrible canned laughter track aside, it's surprisingly funny for a sitcom with a very traditional set up - 3 generations of one family. Fabulous performances! I'm only about 8 episodes in and so far it has even tackled the gender pay gap, dating after divorce, PTSD (lead is ex-service personnel) and illegal immigrants (sympathetically). I rarely laugh out loud but was chuckling away at some of the lines. Rita Moreno is a goddess!

Oh yes to Lead Balloon apart from last of series .
Also Ideal with Johnny Vegas , watched one and didn't like it at all .. nothing else to watch so started episode 2 and was totally addicted ( no pun intended) cartoon head was my fave !

I'm loving Game Face on all 4 at the moment.
It's very funny

Was on freeview last month and was re-watching them all again, hadn't seen for years!

RosesAndRaindrops · 22/07/2019 15:25

Oh, and just remembered My Hero.
Dougal from Father Ted (Ardal O Hanlon) as George Sunday/Thermoman.
Been watching all them again and they're still very silly but really funny!

@Isthebigwomanhere

Game Face is brilliant. Have you seen Afterlife?

Isthebigwomanhere · 22/07/2019 15:40

@Kenny33 I binged watched Afterlife in a day .
It was so beautifully written

@Isthebigwomanhere

He’s starting production on series 2 in September, saw it on FB. Not sure when it will be released though. We started watching it on a Sunday night and ended up staying up til early hours to finish it.

Have you seen Back to Life on iPlayer?

JorahsMistress · 22/07/2019 17:06

@RosesAndRaindrops oh i loved my hero, stopped watching it when ardal o'hanlon left as i didn't like the other guy in the role loved father ted too 😁

Kenny33 · 22/07/2019 17:48

I loved Derry Girls too. Not everyone’s cup of tea though.

Nat6999 · 22/07/2019 21:09

The good life

earlydoors42 · 22/07/2019 21:42

I would love to watch Nightingales again as well!

We watch Superstore on some freeview channel, that is very funny.

Just remembered - The Smoking Room. I need to rewatch it to see if it’s still good.
