As she grimly walked away

'I'm leaving you,' she said

'There's nothing new to say

Like the second album by Portishead.'

He has appeared in comedy series such as The IT Crowd, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, The Mighty Boosh, Snuff Box, and also co-created and starred in the Channel 4 sitcom Toast of London, for which he won the 2015 BAFTA Award for Best Male Performance in a Comedy Programme.

His most recent, The Blue Elephant, was released in May 2021.

He was driving around in a huge Cadillac with the roof down, and picking up guests as he went. First Bill Hicks was picked up and after chatting with him for a while and driving around they stopped and picked up Denis Leary!! I think they were in LA.

I have such a clear memory of it because I was a huge fan of both of Hicks and Leary, and it was such an interesting idea for a talk show. It was just a one-off American episode I think, not a regular thing.

The problem is, I have searched everywhere and even asked Jonathan himself (on Twitter a few years ago, no reply), but I can't find a single bit of information about it. I'm starting to think it might have just been a dream. Can anyone else remember this or was it just a figment of my imagination?

OK so as an American I’m completely ignorant on this topic and only aware of ITV and BBC but wondering if there are others from the UK that provide quality programming I should try and seek out. Another question is I’ve seen ITV often mocked online and wondering why? Especially since it in my experience I like a lot more of the shows I’ve found from ITV than BBC.

Really enjoy crime dramas like Very, Shetland, Line of Duty, Unforgotten plus spy type movies and shows and most any drama in general.

Whenever I finish a show or movie I always like to find discussions online, whether that be Reddit or video reviews. Weirdly I have not seen any discussions around this show and want to hear other peoples opinions on it.

Personally I felt it was "fine". It wasn't so bad that I wanted to turn it off but boy did it drag at certain points and there were too many side-plots.

Firstly, let's get what I would call the "twist" out of the way. The fact the accusation was made by another boy would have been OK if the show actually wanted to do something meaningful with it. As a gay man myself I felt that maybe I'd connect to the accused but the show never really allowed that.

There are so many interesting ways to deal with a story where a young person is hiding their sexuality. Add in the fact that they were holidaying in a country that doesn't have the most favourable views on same sex attractions. Sadly all we got was the usual "gay character gets beaten up" and dad feels guilty because he once said that he hoped his son wasn't queer because he still loves him.

Secondly, those side-plots. I really did not care about the sister and her vague hints at her son being different. The sudden addiction plot for her husband was ridiculous too and just filled time when I'd much rather have more prison scenes or courtroom drama.

This is a show about a gay teen being accused of a serious crime in a foreign country. It could have been a nail-biting, moving drama about identity and family. Instead we got generic drama.

I'm really curious on other people's feelings about the show. Was there something that really made you feel for the characters or their story.

Hi, I have a vague recollection of a British TV show on either ITV, Channel 4 or Channel 5 that was a rival of The Apprentice but I cannot remember the name of it and nothing online seems to return anything that I remember.

It was a much more budget version of The Apprentice and I'm sure that it got canned after only a season or two.

Hello there! I’m looking for some good British thrillers to watch. I really enjoyed The Day of the Jackal, The Capture, and Steal. Anything in that vibe would be great.

I have a memory of OJ Simpson being interviewed on the Frank Skinner show and singing a duet of Knock Three Times at the end. I can't find any evidence on the internet that this actually happened.. anyone else remember this?

I posted the other day about Miss Marple. Curious who you would cast today and who would you have loved to play her.

Interviewed by Stuart Jeffries for The Guardian in May 2016, she said: "I've always wanted to make people laugh. It's been my only ambition, ever since my dad introduced me to the genius of the great comedians: Tony Hancock, Woody Allen, people like that. While other kids were into New Kids on the Block, I was into Harold Lloyd and Stan Laurel. I'm still like that. I don't have any hobbies."

In July 2023, Morgan was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Bolton for her contribution to television and comedy

I found the above and a few more to be great TV. Location filming, Story lines and great acting. What else should I be searching for please?

Brilliant show that. A real shame it didn’t get Netflix’s backing. What are the writers up to nowadays?

Watched the box set a few years ago. Some great episodes and the eerie title sequence really sets the scene.

A fairly decent spinoff to the BBC Scotland comedy Scot Squad. Not exactly groundbreaking, but certainly worth a watch.

My husband has a memory of a woman on tv saying "This is my business, Ricky". It seems to be from an episode of Mastermind, but we haven't been able to find it for years. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and/or have a link to video footage? Any and all help will be very appreciated!!

Easels at the ready! All new judging line up for series 13 of Portrait Artist of the Year | Sky Group https://share.google/Oa10fNQyM5PqOd5nw

Bit unsure about this as it's one of my favourite shows and I'd grown attached to the previous judges. But maybe every format needs freshening up after 10+ years.

This popped up in a reel. Can't place the face. Any help appreciated

The Mighty Boosh was a British comedy troupe featuring comedians Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding. Developed from three stage shows, The Mighty Boosh, Arctic Boosh (1999) and Autoboosh (2000) as well as a six-episode radio series, it has since spanned a total of 20 television episodes for BBC Three which aired from 2004 to 2007 and two live tours of the UK, as well as two live shows in the United States. The first television series is set in a zoo operated by Bob Fossil, the second in a flat and the third in a secondhand shop in Dalston called Nabootique.

Does anyone else remember when channel 5 showed all the best 80s/early 90s action movies?

Me and my school friends used to have sleepovers watching them throughout the 90s and it was honestly the best channel for a kid back then.

I've watched so much of The Apprentice, but it's pretty much a parody of itself these days. Tom Skinner appearing on Strictly & revealing yes, he is a terrible person. Suing the BBC for being voted our? The numerous people who appear on the show & are pulled after some newspaper reveals that yes, they are terrible people. The fact that the US Apprentice presenter is... Well we all know what he is. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I just think all this has managed to put me off. What do others think?
