Thats if you can find it. Apparently its never made amazon prime or Netflix on account of the soundtrack being too good, potential royalty fees making it unfeesible.

ewerk 33655 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Celebrity Caravanning with Colin Baker, Sherri Hewson, Sonia, Tony Blackburn and Richard Hillman off Coronation Street currently on Channel 5.

Renton 24205 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Anybody watched Frank of Ireland which was hyped on the media rounds recently? Fuck me it's unfunny,.as bad as its title. Two episodes in and it hasn't raised a chuckle. Dire. I see another series of Motherland is coming out. Its been a bit diminishing returns but hopefully will at least raise a smile.

Renton 24205 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 There hasn't been a decent alternative British (or Irish) comedy for yonks. The last series of catastrophe was pretty shit, motherland is on a downwards trajectory and I never really got into Fleabag, maybe I'm missing something there. That David Tennant one, there she goes, actually was funny but honestly bleak as fuck. Where's the next Father Ted, the Office, Peep show, or Inbetweeners coming from?

There's a fair bit of okay stuff, I'd include the likes of Friday night dinner and our country in that category, but nothing really innovative. And far more guff like Mrs Browns boys which you can bet CT is a fan of. Maybe Fleabag is the one, I missed the start so might revisit it.
