    Channel 4 have been boxsetting old comedies on Friday nights. Spaced, Black Books and Ali G next up. I never caught Spaced the first time for some reason but I enjoyed it, Bernard Black is still fantastically of his own universe.

    Dempsey and Makepeace is on YouTube if you want some 80's nostalgia, apart from the cheesy music I find it rewatchable and Glynis Barber is not objectionable to see on screen

    Has anybody caught up with The Walking Dead after the Rick scene? Looking to get back into it and just wondering if it’s worth it

    BBC1 have announced a new short lockdown comedy series with David Tennant and Michael Sheen which should start in June


    https://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2020/05/22/46162/david_tennant_and_michael_sheen_to_star_in_lockdown_comedy
    Staged is about the cast of a West End production who try to keep their rehearsals on track when they are forced to work from home.

    The series also stars Tennant’s wife Georgia and Sheen’s partner Anna Lundberg plus Lucy Eaton and guest stars including W1A’s Nina Sosanya.

    Six 15-minute episodes have been announced, with the BBC calling it ‘absurd and humorous in equal measure’.

    Not exactly cheerful viewing, but just caught last nights screening of What's the matter with Tony Slattery? on BBC 2 last night and found it very compelling. Such a ubiquitous and talented guy around the 80s and 90s, just a shock to see what he has been going through. Hard but good watch.

    Watching Ali G tonight, the Sammy Wilson NIRL episode is gold.

    Yeah, had a gander at a couple of old Whose Line is it anyway? shows on All4 last night just to check was he as good as i remembered and, god he was. Didnt get the sense of much hope by the end of the show, but really do pray he finds peace. Tough break.

    The Saturday night city beat had already started,
    The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action,
    And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light,
    And said "tonight...of all nights...

    There’s going to be a Boomtown Rats documentary on BBC Two at 9.20pm.”

    ‘Citizens Of Boomtown’ - which coincidentally, is also the title of the next Pointless thread.

    :cool:

    Given that Summer has been unofficially cancelled this year, don't think anyone needs to go to the bother of starting a Summer thread.

    Virgin Media repeating the Toughest Trade , the one with sports people changing from their sport to another. I think that was an RTE series from a good few years back.

    I wonder if Derry Girls will get much of an audience?

    It has been all over Channel 4, E4 and Netflix and you would think anyone who was interested would have found it by now.

    Having said that, there is still a large number of people who bizarrely only watch the Irish Channels who will be probably be all over Facebook on Monday telling everyone about this new Derry Girls thing. You could put a 26 part 1982 Czechoslovakian Communist cartoon series about Jakub and his farming collective (poorly received at the time even in Prague) on at 9.30pm on RTE1 on Sundays and it would get solid viewing numbers

    Personally, I would have put Love/Hate in the better slot (as it hasn't been repeated in ages) but those schedulers who put it on at a graveyard time after an repeat of a Brendan Grace LLS tribute which was just a load of old clips obviously know what they are doing.

    I think solid TV is so thin on the ground these days that it probably will do decent enough.
