Interesting
I’m exactly the opposite.. only US sitcoms make me giggle . British ones apart from maybe The Plebs and a couple of others leave me cold ..

One thing I will say for it - it was actually interesting to "learn" about the early 80's "double glazing gold rush". You don't hear much about the classic double glazing salesman these days.

That's a shame as you miss out on a lot of good shows - if you do decide to dip your toe into the water then def give PnR a chance.

Have you seen all the coogan Paul calf video diaries?

Yeah seen all the Calf stuff. Pretty much seen all Coogan's stuff although I didn't get through his latest Alan Partridge program where he's hosting a show like "The one show" I didn't enjoy that much, it just wasn't up to Alan Partridge standard. Probably due to the fact that Armando Ianucci wasn't involved.

I've got a great show for you - it's called warrior



It's set in the US as the chinese were flocking there to wbuild the railways. Based on stories written by Bruce Lee and is a bit like peaky blinders. 2 full seasons, and currently making the third.

I meant to make a thread about it ages ago but never got round to it.

It's difficult to find, but I can link you to a site. I'm not sure about posting illegal tv links on the forum so if you decide you want to give it a go, drop me a pm and i'll hook you up.

There's normally two types of people that make death threats towards Youtubers.

1. 12 year olds
2. Psychopaths
