This.
Slow and gentle, with understated comedy a bit like The Royale family or The Office. Strong on depiction of relationships.

"Big boys" is brilliant. I've watched the first series twice.

clappyjay · 14/10/2023 20:41

Big boys on channel 4 (I think) is a really nice comedy and has the ‘wee English fella’ (can’t remember his name!) from Derry girls starring.

Oh God yes! This was two great weeks of my mat leave last year. Time well spent.

Also Black Books hasn't been mentioned yet and that was quite good.

Have you seen "Ghosts"? BBC iPlayer, it's very clever and very funny.

I was just going to suggest this. I started it this week and it's brilliantly funny
