Still Game - s2e9 - one of the great advantages of this sitcom is that the characters feel real because you're not given a simple stereotype. Although Jack's daughter lives in Canada, she's all too happy to invite him over, whereas Victor's son in S Africa obviously can't be bothered. Result - no sentiment with the lovely children of the lovely OAPs, but not too much pathos with abandoned granddads. Jack's different reactions to a bore and Victor both acting exactly the same way (from 5:50 on the clip) top off an excellent series.
Mongrels s1e8 - series finale with Bonfire Night. With series 2 due to air soon, I keep having to remember the fine words (adapted) of Mr le Sac and Mr Pip: Thou shalt not stop liking a show just because it becomes popular.
Alas Smith & Jones Series 2 Compilation - more gems from the depths of my memory.
Fast Show s2e5 - is Rowley Birkin QC one of the greatest comedy characters of the last 20 years?
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace e6 - You do know that Matt Berry has made albums, plural, of this stuff, don't you?
