No wrong answers. Could be a game show, docu-series, fiction, sci-fi, anything that didn’t make it but should have.
I’ll add How Not to Live Your Life just because you may not have heard of it, though I’ve no idea where you might be able to watch it.
Blake’s 7, at the time for me was the greates show ever. I guess I was the right age.
Time team. That shit was amazing. It went on for like 20+ years and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. it was fascinating. The closest thing we have now is josh gates’ expedition unknown, which is really hit and miss. Recently it’s been so picky about things they’re likely to hit on that some seasons only have 4-6 episodes. He tries to make the finds to be to big. Time team found all kinds of fantastic things because they were just looking for historical significance, not mountains of treasure. But they always found treasures of some kind. That was a really great, fascinating show.
I’m also a really big fan of top gear.
Now we’re going down to the bottom field where Barry and Lucia believe they’ve found a wall.
Yeah, but guess what? They found a wall! It always felt so much better than like supernatural shows where they’re like “we totally found evidence” yeah, sure ya did. “No, we did, see this spec of dust? That’s a ghost”. Alright, but did ya find a floor or nails? Show me the gpr.
It’s still going!
Time team?!? Or top gear? Cause I’ve seen the new top gear and it’s… Meh.
No, new Time Team!
It’s not the original crew (mostly) but still really good.

- People Just Do Nothing
- Flowers
- Peep Show
Peep Show! Also spaced. Havent heard of the ones you mentioned I’ll have to check them out.
Haven’t seen Chef! mentioned. It’s that particular style of sitcom that is essentially lots and lots of little jokes all leading to the big dramatic monologue the lead can chew on and rip into.
The Glam Metal Detectives.
Thought it was really funny but it’s completely forgotten now.
Dave Allen at Large
Father Ted
Absolutely Fabulous is a great sitcom about a teenaged girl dealing with her narcissistic mother’s shenanigans. funny AND has some real moments.
It has its flaws, but I quote The IT crowd almost weekly
Good morning, that’s a nice tnetennba.
