Name a film or tv show you think no one on here has heard of -

[peachese]

So for tv show:

When the Street Lights Go On.
Really good and equally as sad.

Films …. Maybe Creep 2004, I just rewatched it all these years later. But maybe it’s not as obscure as I think.

P’Tang Yang Kipperbang.

Anyone remember an Australian children's / teens programme called Mortified? Family lived by the beach and the father had a business called something like The Knicker King.

@RenoDakota I liked Mortified. It was on CBBC just a few years ago.
I liked an Australian one called The Bartons (from when I was a kid in in the late 80s).
I think the writer/director went on to become really famous.
I must Google......
Edit : Yes it was written by Jocelyn Morehouse and PJ Hogan (of Muriel's Wedding fame) !

I'm sure there's a poster on here with that as their user name

Talking Australian series, I've never met anyone who remembers Seven Little Australians

I watched it as a child and wa traumatised when one of them got killed by a falling tree branch. (Dearest juju is ringing a strong bell)

I remember that-can't remember who was in it though.

Jack Rosenthal the writer I think.

I remember watching that.

Think it was one of the first things I say Paul McGann in.

Anyone else remember A Perfect Spy with Benedict Taylor & Peter Egan?

It's Pyongyang Kipperbang, I think. Always makes me

I remember the film mentioned below with the odd title : Alison steadman is in it
I also remember ' SWALK' set in hammersmith
Had to ask my friends what it meant ! Sealed with a loving kiss !!

the corner.
American tv series in 2000.

i watched it years ago but I remember it being excellent. If iv mentioned it before in conversation noone has heard of it or watched it.
its not a light watch though!

iv copied the blurb from Wikipedia so please ignore any blue words 😳

The Corner is a 2000 HBO dramatelevision miniseries based on the nonfiction book The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood (1997) by David Simonand Ed Burns, and adapted for television by David Simon and David Mills.

The Corner chronicles the life of a family living in poverty amid the open-air drug markets of West Baltimore. "The corner" is the junction of West Fayette Street and North Monroe Street

wit.
The whole film is basically Emma Thompson in a hospital room going through treatment sometimes another person visits or a staff member comes in but it’s mostly her alone in a room. it was horrific but excellent.
Again if iv mentioned it noone I know has seen it.

Wit
Based on the 1999 Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Margaret Edson, WIT features the Academy Award winning actress Emma Thompson in a movie directed by Academy award winning director Mike Nichols. Vivian Bearing is an English professor with a biting wit that educates but also alienates her students. With her teaching and life both rigidly under control, Vivian would never let down her defenses, until the day comes when they are taken don for her. Diagnosed with a devastating illness, Vivian agrees to undergo a series of procedures that are brutal, extensive, and experimental. For eight months her life must take an uncharted course. No longer a teacher, but a subject for others to study. Vivian Bearing is about to discover a fine line between life and death that can only be walked with wit.

I have never seen the series but I enjoyed the book and that incident was hugely traumatic when I was about 10!

Films

The East - about "eco terrorists"
Goodbye World- about a societal breakdown
Missing - with Sissy Spacek about the Chilean (?) coup

Laverne and Shirley

I think if you're the right age & a Happy Days fan you'll know this one!

@LindorDoubleChoc
Yes! Loved Stellar Street!

He was, and Michael Apted was the director. Not sure who the male lead was, but the female (girl) lead was Abigail Cruttenden who Not Going Out fans will know as Anna, the subject of many of the jokes.

Just had a quick look & the male lead was in a couple of episodes of the last series of True Detective with Jodie Foster!

Think I only know of Abigail Cruttenden from Sharpe & being one of Sean Bean's ex wives!

Just popping back in to see if anyone else has mentioned Hex?

Ooh DH used to watch this

Jemima Rooper and set in a boarding school or something ?

I grew up in the NE but left over 20 years ago. I was so excited when Hebburn was on, I thought I could finally stop saying ‘just outside Newcastle’ when I was asked where I was originally from, sadly no one watched it.

Pobol y cwm

only if you’re not welsh!

I loved it. I thought Vicky, Gervaise and Denise were fantastic characters and brilliant acting.

Im from the north (but not NE) and there were similarities to where I live. . I think it wasn't popular because at least 70% of the country couldn't relate.

Yes!
