That is another thing that can be forgotten when talking about comedy. Where you are in your life can make a huge difference. I have a huge gap in cultural knowledge between 2014 to 2017 because I was, to quote Alan Partridge, “clinically fed up”

Nighty Night series 1 is a masterpiece in my opinion. The second one tries too hard to shock but still has great bits but is a bit of mess to be honest. I am biased though. I love JD. A proper comedy hero of mine.

Also I was thinking about the Avatar: The Way of Water episode (I’m chuckling just writing the words) and the thing is why the fuck would you leave voice notes rather than call each other if they’re on the other side of the road? Because it’s funnier that way.

I love dark comedy “Human Remains” for instance is one of my favourite things by anyone ever but I have to be in the mood and not depressed to watch it. Same with B&R. I stopped listening to it when my mum’s husband died but loved coming back to it.

He describes the cards with sex workers phone numbers in phone boxes falling like “prostitute rain”

Oh it’s fantastic. In fact this conversation is making me want to listen to it again.

I’m going to line up that episode for tomorrow. There’s so many of them I’ve basically gone back to the beginning after finishing it. I listened to Alan Partridge’s Nomad audiobook three times in a row when it came out.

Aside from the obvious answers could people possibly be going off Harry Potter because it’s been nearly 30 fucking years now?

I can only name three footballers from the 90s and oddly he’s one of them.

Hahahaha. God I love that. “That’s John Fashanu tonight on BBC2!”

I haven’t felt so pleased to get someone into some comedy since a friend texted me to tell me they’re obsessed with Why Bother?

There’s that episode isn’t there where Isy Suttie plays Clare and you think god, everyone in that world can see what Brian is like except Roger.

“Remember when I had my back against the wall I fought and I fought and I fought and then she died and left me 30 grand” (listened to the Gimme Shelter episode today when I was packing some orders so the lines are fresh in my mind)

Mr Lucas: Labour
Capt Peacock: Conservative
Mrs Slocombe: Conservative
Mr Humphries: Lib Dem’s
Miss Brahms: REFORM

“Homelessness is a choice, mate. If I can let a former prime minister rim me so can they”

Yes and he would see to it Reform wins whether they got the most votes or not.

Basil definitely but I can see Sybil voting in anyway that would infuriate Basil.

Yeah that sounds right.

That’s very hard to answer. Too clever to vote Reform I feel but other than that(?)

“She just loves the drama”

Yes!

All the answers below are roughly a million times more correct than Victor Meldrew.

Oh good yeah.

No, but it was MEANT to be the NCA.

Isn’t that the C.I.D? Also, if I was going to refer to a similar thing to sell the idea I probably wouldn’t pick something currently with a terrible reputation. “It’s going to be like a British Fyre Festival”

Worried in 10 years time there’s going to be a spate of Oscar nominated films about sad former ICE agents.

Oh yes! That’s a great example of what I’m on about as well.

YouTube video by sawing14s Classic Sesame Street - Kermit on the set of "Oklahoma"

1989 so only just 80s Sesame Street but one of my favourite sketches of theirs. I feel there’s a touch of Andre Previn on Morecambe and Wise here. youtu.be/cQ9g62YE1N4?...
