    RE: The Thick of It, Spaced, Brass Eye nt

    Fair enough. The day today?</p>

    I think I know about the thick of it, controversy with the main actor right? Chris Langham was it?</p>

    Pulling I'll try and check out.</p>

    Watch any of 'never better'? About a group of alcoholics if I remember correctly.</p>

    Smoking room, on a similar theme, was very good too</p>

    RE: Coogans Run, Darkplace, Look Around You S2, Sorry nt

    Darkplace is class. I never used to like Garth Marenghi though, then suddenly it clicked and I though it was quality.</p>

    Aye, look around you is brilliant too...been a while since I've seen it actually.</p>

    Never seen coogans run though</p>

    If you go for Coupling, give series 4 a miss.

    It was crap without Jeff.

    Game on I always found a bit hit and miss...coupling I loved though. Monkey dust I think I must have missed.</p>

    Liking this though, plenty of ideas so far! Cheers all</p>

    I didn't realise he'd left the show, that must have been since my emigration. How did they write him out?

    Monkey Dust.....

    ...was a very bizarre animated sketch show which was shown on BBC 3 I think maybe five years ago, and then it seemed to disappear without a trace. I thought it was absolutely storming.

    RE: The Thick of It, Spaced, Brass Eye nt

    Yeah The Day Today was good, first introdution to Alan Partridge I seem to recall.

    Aye, that's the one, don't let that put you of though, it's still very good. But if it does put you off there's an xmas and mid summer special of the programme that don't have him in but are equally as entertaining.

    Watched a bit of Smoking Room but i could never really get into it, i've never even heard of 'Never better'.

    RE: trailer park boys nt

    Haha, I'm a MASSIVE tpb fan. One of the best series I've ever seen I reckon. I love how all th characters are in character whenever they're in public. Bubbles has to one of the best characters ever created, but everyone is essential, ricky cracks me up, I love J-rock, course Lahey and Randy are very funny too. Just a brilliant comedy. And there'll be a new series next year, and I've heard talk of another film too!
