Episodes!

feliciabirthgiver · 29/07/2020 21:14

I've been listening to a radio comedy from the BBC Sounds App called reincarnathan - stumbled across it on the radio and found it hilarious

I also love love love Green Wing which you can watch on More 4.

Hope you spirits are lifted whatever you end up watching Thanks

Also Detectorists (but maybe a bit more diff from your list).

UnalliterativeGeorge · 29/07/2020 21:14

Taskmaster if you have Dave/uktv play

WinterAndRoughWeather · 29/07/2020 21:15

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

FaiIWorseAgain · 29/07/2020 21:26

I might have to rewatch something but thank you all of you Wine Have seen all of those except for Reincarnathan (which I might try if my DC gives me my phone back!) and Taskmaster.
I don't have UKTV (I thought Meet the Richardsons might be amusing)
Is there any catch to subscribing to UKTV play online. Is it free?
I have a TV license but do not have Dave on my telly.

Friday Night Dinner!

Pinkflipflop85 · 29/07/2020 21:34

Schitts creek is an absolute joy to watch.

FaiIWorseAgain · 29/07/2020 21:39

I couldn't get into it pink - Saw the first two, does it get funnier as it goes on? Do I need to fall in love with the characters? I couldn't get past the first two in Parcs and Rec or It's always sunny in Philadelphia either.

1wokeuplikethis · 29/07/2020 21:42

Catastrophe

BellsaRinging · 29/07/2020 21:42

Friday night dinner and if you liked Derry Girls then London Irish-think it's still a available on 4.

prozacfree · 29/07/2020 21:43

Taskmaster! I am so jealous you haven't watched it as I would love to watch it all again.
