And of course, Bottom...classic stuff. Good excuse to put the Xmas special on. The whole "gold, Frankenstein and grr...routine used to crack me up.

With of course Richie being the virgin. Classic stuff  :laugh:

Watched a bit of Bottom recently. Way better than I thought it would be. Bean, in fairness, some of the sketches are absolute gold. The exam one is cringe 101. Expertly done.

Brassic, now on Netflix is great ould craic. Bang of shameless off it.
Rewatched The Expanse. If you haven't seen it give it a few episodes to get going.  It's stellar sci-fi.
Speaking of re watches I think it's time for another go at Band of Brothers. Easily me favourite limited series. Chernobyl a close second.

Season 4 of Fargo wrapped up tonight. A noticeable drop in quality, but was grand overall with some genuinely great performances.

If you liked that then watch 'More Bad News' , it's more or less the same cast from young ones doing their version of Spinal Tap style rockumentary. Prob on YouTube. Worth it for the Donington concert footage alone.

The first Bad News film "Bad News Tour" was release a year before "This Is Spinal Tap".

Looking at Baby Reindeer at the minute. Fucking hell, dark stuff. Really fascinating.

Bottom was pure genius comedy.
Absolutely loved it back in me school days.

The Young Ones was great too.
Used to stay up late on Friday's as a kid to watch it. My first introduction to Lemmy and Motorhead.   :abbath:

Recently I've really enjoyed both Mr.Inbetween and Say Nothing.

Say Nothing is a great series.

Finished up Baby Reindeer earlier. Really good. Not a lot of closure in the end, I felt.

Defo seems damaged by it all.

Rewatching The Xfiles for the criac. I haven't seen it in over a decade, so forgot a good chunk of it. Some meh episodes of course, but fairly consistent. Pure 90s buzz

Just don't go for the latest series. The old ones are generally still decent though, I went on a run of them with the young fellas not too long ago and they enjoyed them as well
