I have a tummy bug, my kids have just gotten over it and now I'm mam down!!!! I've been fortunate that the kids were with their Gran today, and my DH is home now they are. I've been lying on the sofa or 💩 all day, I need some thing to take my mind off the body aches, the sore stomach, the boredom!!! Help!!!!

What can I watch?!

I'm ill too and have been re-watching Guilt series 2, in preparation for watching Guilt series 3.

Plus I've picked up where I left off on the brilliant Schitts Creek.

thaegumathteth · 04/05/2023 19:43

I've been unwell this week and amazingly actually got time to rest and have watched Grace and Frankie on Netflix and Colin from Accounts on BBC. Both easy to watch.

StoatofDisarray · 04/05/2023 19:44

The Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix! It's nothing to do with diets :-) although there is an insane amount of vomit in the first episode.

GnomeDePlume · 04/05/2023 19:58

If you havent watched it: Unforgotten, starting with series 1 - ITV

Waking the Dead (on BBC iPlayer)

Silent Witness (on BBC iPlayer)

If you have Netflix: Gosford Park

As you can tell, I like a good murder!

Loafbeginsat60 · 04/05/2023 20:06

I also have a stomach bug and the wifi is down so the bloody sky tv won't work.

Might have a look at some of these recommendations once it comes back on

I hate being sick, I was so dizzy I couldn't get up til 5.30pm

Another vote for Colin from accounts it's brilliant

midsomermurderess · 04/05/2023 20:16

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries on UKTV Play. 1920’s lady detective in Australia. Fabulous clothes, engaging stories. Comforting.

Schitz creek got me through lockdown and a bout of Covid . It's a joyous programme.
