Amandaland

Not airing until 5th Feb but who else is as excited as me for this?!

I'm scared to watch it as my family are from Harlesden and live there now, and I lived there back in the early 00s. I heard it's a bit of a weird piss take about the area?

I wouldn’t say so. Only that Amanda, in her typically pretentious way, has re-framed South Harlesden as ‘So-Ha’, like she calls working for a kitchen and bathroom salesman her ‘co-lab’ (collaboration)! The area, as such, hardly features, it’s all about the characters.

Peter Serafinowicz, Johannes, can't believe he isn't a brash, sleazy, millionaire south-african!! Such good acting.
He was the zombie leader in Sean of the Dead as mentioned above.

Did nobody watch Spaced ? Peter Serafinowicz was pretty well known I thought. 🤪

Oh I loved Spaced so much. Rewatched it with my teenage son a while ago. It was as good as I remembered.

It's my era. Love it. Oft quoted around here 😁

If anyone has not seen it, then treat yourselves!

I only ever bought 2 boxsets back then. Spaced was one, Kath and Kim was the other.

Yep Spaced on video every weekend at 4am when we got in from clubbing at Sankeys in Manchester. Tyres was a favourite for obvious reasons! So funny to see him in Bad Sisters in a very different role.

I loved tyres. I knew the female real life version 🤣

We used to go to Sankeys Soap. Great days. The rave episode of Spaced is v funny 😅

I knew there would be another Sankey’s regular on this thread! 😆

Wow, Roger from Bad Sisters is TYRES!! NO WAY!!!!! 😆😆😆

Not a secret. It's on iplayer

Wild, isn’t it? Took me a while to place him, never would’ve without the accent.

He's done a few straight roles. I love his voice.

Oh...don't think my gif works 🫣 you'll have to imagine Tyres dancing at the pedestrian crossing pressing the button in repeat 😂

Does this work

Glorious Tyres moment

YES! 🙌🏻

My female Tyres had been known to twang a shatterproof ruler and have a similar reaction 🤣🤣

Amazing

i also know a female Tyres, who has switched the raving for fell racing, she’s an absolute beast! Can run for days.

We've made it in The Sunday Times!
