Please send me ideas for something really uplifting or funny on tv

[CalculatingSuccess]

Currently in the middle of a major depressive episode, am alone as the girls are at their Dad’s for the night, and have done everything in my “self care toolkit” and still feel incredibly low. I need to put the tv on until I can take my bedtime meds and go to bed.

I need to stream something that will get me to bedtime. Can anyone help?

Thank you xxx

When I need comfort I usually go for a good old show like Dinnerladies, Are you being Served or the Good Life or I go for something silly from my teen years like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Clueless.

Googlebox - always good for a laugh

Am I being unreasonable? on BBC iPlayer

Fleabag - also iPlayer

Any Peter Kay standup show

Superstore on Netflix. Very easy to watch and very funny. Some great characters.
Benidorm - as above!

Peter Kay car share if you can find it.

Absolutely fabulous, an oldie but a goodie.

Superstore is funny

Rob v Romesh. So funny

Mandy on iPlayer

Am I being unreasonable is dark and depressing and for a comedy not very funny (imo!)

definitely not one for a down day

Benidorm

People just do nothing

Motherland

The office US

Oh and the A word - I'm late to this party but we just started it - it's great

Only Murders is brilliant and funny and generally quite light, but occasionally quite sad. I wouldn't watch it when feeling emotionally vulnerable.

I'd go for Taskmaster, which never fails to take my mind off my troubles.

She Hulk is entertaining lighthearted nonsense if you like superheroes.

I loved Schitts Creek too.

Derry Girls on All4 and Netflix
Ted Lasso on Apple TV
Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing and my fave ever series Better Things on iPlayer

Happy viewing.

Ghosts is like a hot water bottle and a cup of tea. It's the warmest, most gentle and heartfelt comedy - it always cheers me up.

I agree with Only Murders in the Building on Disney + too.

I've just finished Dynasty (the reboot) on Netflix and really enjoyed it.

Extraordinary escapes with Sandi Toksvig is lovely and gentle and funny. Always makes me me feel better. Hope you feel better soon.

Jane the Virgin
Ted Lasso
Trying
Derry Girls
Modern Family
Schitt's Creek

Another vote for Ghosts. Especially the first Christmas special.

Two Doors Down and Still Game if you’ve never watched them. Always make me chuckle! And I’m also a big fan of Only Murders in the Building.

Ghosts is so good!! Binge watched motherland series 3 and now watching Ghosts for the first time and loving it. Thank you all so, so much again xx

Definitely “workin mums” or the letdown. They both used to be on Netflix and are amazingly good!

I've been revisiting Friends recently, and have remembered how much I love Phoebe.

The great thing about Ghosts is that they are only 30 mins, so when I am feeling v down and in need of a hug at work, I pop on my headphone and watch one during my lunch break.

they are so multilayered that every time you watch an episode you pick up something new.

Friday Night Dinner, it's on All4 catch up.
