Tom Basden is so talented and he’s underrated too. His film The Ballad of Wallis Island is wonderful.
That reminds me - Plebs!

Yes! I knew I recognised him! Was more focused on Paul. Which reminds me… Ghosts!

The American Office. So I know you said British Comedy, that’s my preference too, and if you like the British version you have to push through the first episodes that just feel wrong, but then the characters, the writing and the comedy is brilliant.

Definitely. I thought it was rubbish at first but then absolutely loved it. Really funny 😁.

Ghosts
Rev
Derry Girls
Friday Night Dinner
Trying (on Apple) isn’t laugh out loud but very enjoyable.
I loved a series called Only Child with Gregor Fisher which is on Iplayer. It reminds me of the dynamic between my brother and my elderly dad.

I enjoyed The Witchfinder on iplayer - made me laugh

Just discovered Fisk - had heard of it before but never tried it, don’t know why because I’m always looking for something new to watch. Am on 3rd episode of first series and love it.
And is that Pippa from Home and Away in it?! Showing my age 🙈
