attack the block was a good film

oh yeah, I really enjoyed that. Joe Cornballs is a pretty good screenwriter/director and his old mate Buckles still manages to make me laugh because he's a silly fucker

The Big Taff Man posted:

Moone Boy started 2012. I really like that. Its the only Sky Original comedy worth watching. Trollied is a bag of turds
Alan Partridges Mid Morning Matters started as a web series but they did a TV version where they put 2 episodes together as a half hour show.
Stella, The Wrong Mans & Bad Education are three shows I dont watch but got decent reviews.

someone else summed up Moone Boy pretty well.. it's almost there, almost. then nah. I've a soft spot for Alan Partridge but idk I think Coogan might need to think about moving on. there was that show named Legit written by Rab Florence which had a really funny pilot but the series itself was pretty unfunny. oh and Limmy is good

sorry your country is baffled by the concept of silent letters and 18th century typography i guess, its probably our fault for dumping our garbage people on you for a few centuries

it'll pretty much happen with just about anything where they're not speaking straight up american accented english lol

I've got an australian accent which is kind of similar to Hugh Jackman and they had trouble understanding me when I lived there, I would have to legit pretend to be american when i was ordering food


VVV i found this super funny

I liked Peep Show so much I watched the entire thing twice

I've seen Green Wing but it don't remember a whole lot about it, was that the one where everything went batshit nuts at the end and one of the nurses was the devil or some poo poo like that? I may be confusing it with The Kingdom
