The Fast Show

The classic series... which is nice. The quickest, quirkiest comedy of all. Ted and Ralph, Swiss Toni, Jazz Club, Unlucky Alf, Competitive Dad and Chanel 9. Brilliant!

Fantastic musidoc about a much underrated band who formed in difficult times in SE London.
A massive influence on many, especially hip-hop artists
Some glowing praise, some great tunes.
Thoroughly deserving their recent resurrection.

I watched The Beasts wow a slow first 10 minutes and then quickly grabs your attention. The last bar scene was one of the best scenes I’ve watched in film. Such a thought provoking film. I liked that idea of one man’s hell is another’s paradise, I strangely felt a bit sorry for the horrible local brothers at times.

New series of Shaun The Sheep

Shaun the Sheep - Series 7: 1. Bake it Easy

It's the Farmer's birthday, and when the flock accidentally eat his surprise cake, Shaun has to forage alternative ingredients to bake another one before Bitzer finds out.

If you've got 4-10 year olds you can always pretend you're putting in on for them, but I think they're brilliant ( and they're obviously inspired by the original Keaton)

I watched this. It is fairly engrossing, but quite slow - basically focusses on the minutiae of the police investigation.
