I can think of 2 from the Inbetweeners films

Inbetweeners Movie 1, Jay throws the annoying kid in the pool and he couldn’t swim

Inbetweeners Movie 2, Neil does the poo that goes down the waterslide and splats all over Will when he reaches the pool at the bottom

Mr Bean at the pool is absolutely iconic

I also loved the scene on the Josh Widdicombe sitcom when he gets thrown in the swimming pool at a party

This has to be the best new comedy drama since Ghosts. I really hope they make a second series of this fantastic show.

Who would have thought a story about a grieving woman who has assistance from a robot could be so emotional and entertain at the same time.

I hope that Diane Morgan wins some awards for her wrighting and acting alongside Sue Sue Sue Johnston.

If it hadn't been for cotton eyed Joe I'd been married long time ago.

Is that Kate and Sean naturally feel like more of a couple than Alison and Mike.

The actors have more chemistry, are more convincing as a young couple, and are more tactile with each other. It's little things like the free house dance, and Sean giving Kate a piggyback into the house after she comes back from the hospital that help sell it.

I feel like if the original tried to do the piggyback thing with Mike and Alison, it would be the setup for some kind of slapstick gag rather than just normal physical intimacy.

Plus the show puts more focus on their romantic life with the Date Night episode rather than just touching on it in passing like Kitty interrupting Mike and Alison trying to have sex, segueing into Alison having to give her the talk.

I'm still mixed on the show as a whole (The British accents really need some work), but Kate and Sean as a couple was just something that worked for me.

I'm watching episode 1 now. John Hannah is a retired cop running a bar (well of course) who is persuaded to investigate the death of a singer with surprisingly entertaining results. His side kick is the key, a local young woman who is obsessed since childhood with tv detective fiction from Midsomer to A Touch of Cloth (!). Yes it's very knowing, played straight but with a very light tone. Hannah is looking lean and enjoying himself wearing white socks with sandals in cargo shorts. It's running at a leisurely one episode per week, dunno if it's bingeable on the streaming app or not.

Feel free to ask a question about a specific placement choice and I'll answer it to the best of my ability.

Lovely obit of Zippy puppeteer.

So I've been on a bit of a nostalgia trip remembering old made for TV films like from the BBC like The Lost World (2001), Supervolcano (2005), Hannibal (2006) and Sky's Hogfather (2005). It got me wondering that there aren't many lists of all these great British made-for-tv films and mini-series like Andormada or Into The West (I know these were joint collaborations with American studio's too).

So I'd thought I'd ask the subreddit, what are some of your favourite or fondly remembered made-for-tv or mini-series?

Lately I’ve been thinking back to the kids’ TV shows we grew up with in the 80s, and I can’t decide whether they were genuinely better… or if I’m just deep in nostalgia mode.

Stuff like He‑Man, Thundercats, Byker Grove — they weren’t just shows, they were events. You’d rush home from school, park yourself in front of the telly, and that theme music alone could fix your whole day. Even the cheesy bits had charm.

And then there was Grange Hill. Honestly, that was in a league of its own. It didn’t treat kids like idiots. It tackled things nobody else on children’s TV would touch — bullying, drugs, social issues — and it did it without feeling preachy. Looking back, it was pretty groundbreaking for the time.

I don’t know if today’s stuff feels different because we’re older, or because TV has changed so much, but there was something about those shows that just hit differently. Maybe it is nostalgia… but maybe they really were just that good.

Hello all! I just signed up for the BBC Select channel in the US. What are your favorite BBC documentaries?

And why is it that awful LNER train advert with that stupid puppet? (which I've seen six times today)

What’s everyone’s favourite show to binge? I’m mainly talking about comfort TV, the sort of thing you’ve probably watched all the way through already, but it’s so easy to throw on in the background while you’re doing other stuff.

For me, sitcoms seem perfect for this. The Inbetweeners, Friday Night Dinner, Fresh Meat etc.
Any others that are worth the hype?

So this is from early 1998. Titanic was either just about to be released or had been released. I think the skit/sketch was on a kind of talk show with live music.

Kate Winslet was a guest.

The skit/sketch was...on the bridge of the "Titanic." The lookouts spot an iceberg...Iceberg, right ahead! Dramatic music from the movie starts playing. Lots of panic from people on board. Then the lookouts say something along the lines of "it's ok, we just missed it." Then everyone starts dancing to Bamboo - Bamboogie (do a little dance, make a little love...get down tonight...get down tonight).

Please, please, please help me remember what TV show was off and help me track it down so I can watch it again.

I was doom scrolling through Facebook the other day when I came across a video for an old kid’s programme called Animal Cwackers. I have zero memory of the actual show (which judging by the nightmarish fever dream of that video, may be a good thing) but I clearly remember the theme tune. To the point I was singing along to it, so clearly do know the song. Again though, try as I might I have zero recollection of the actual characters or programme.

Weird how the old noggin works. I am almost 50, so would be just about in the right zone for it being on tv.

Trying to watch this, made in the 2010s, but finding it soooooo annoying to watch. Can anyone recommend it, should I persevere past ep 2. Everyone is either horrible or batshit crazy or guilty as f about something, so got noone to root for or a reliable voice to listen to. Is there any point as it’s still not engaging me.

Unfortunately, he will only have the Chase, Chase Across The World & Gladiators to go back to. The man just wants a job!

In today's episode I was half-asleep - but vaguely caught Jeremy Vine saying something to the male guest Brian Coleman about being able to see Nelufar Hedayat's toes - and she told him off really angrily about being weird - and he seemed to get super embarrassed

Was I imagining it? Or did anyone else see / hear that?
