    Starting watching Mr Inbetween after good comments on here. Really wasn’t sure of it first few episodes but has continued to grow on me.

    Just finished season 2. I won’t say anymore

    I watched it last week after lots of comments here. Very good. 

    The guy that plays his brother living with MND might be the greatest acting I’ve ever seen.

    Industry managed to work for another series 

    Its almost a different show from what it began as but I'm enjoying the ride. Was really worried they had run out of road 
    There’s a really enjoyable and insightful podcast with the two creators in the FT Behind the Money series, and it’s free, unlike most of the paper’s content

    Any pointers people can give on The Man in the High Castle, been on my to watch list for a few years. What's always stopped me is the premise of the Nazis winning WW2, so me thinking i'll be wound up by most episodes! But I love anything with a dystopian touch or link to alternate universes. So simply put, is it any good?!

    Oh sweet. Just finished S1. Wasn't expecting much but the first 5/6 episodes were excellent, it kinda dipped after that but was still enjoyable. 

    Love the opening titles too. Starbuster is such a banger of a tune

    The first 2 seasons are excellent. I can't really remember season 3 (but was watchable at least)  but during the filming of season 4, it got cancelled so they kinda rushed a lot of the plots to their conclusions

    I caught some if the interview the Grey's Anatomy actor did that was released after he died from MND, and my first thought watching him was that the guy from Mr Inbetween absolutely nailed the speech patterns etc

    We only discovered this a week or so ago & are now 3 episodes into series 2. 

    Enjoying it but had to google a couple of issues which we found difficult to understand. 

    However, we are wondering whether 4 series will hold our attention or whether we'll "tail off" as we did many moons ago with " Lost". 

    Interested to hear your thoughts once you've watched a few episodes.

    Great find, I've never heard those two speak before and they broke down really well their process and how they are joining dots

    MAFS Australia Season 13 has been the most explosive series of them all.
    We've way ahead of what is being shown on E4 because we've got it downloaded from a friends plex server.
    We've just finished the 4th dinner party.

    (Yes, I'm a disgrace and I hang my head in shame!)
    Is that before or after the retreat?
    I think that was the one just before the retreat.
    The retreat. Blimey.  Where on earth have they got the women from this year?  they all seem totally unhinged.
    One word.  Fingerbang.  I won't say any more.

    (Really sad news about expert Mel and her cancer diagnosis last week btw!)

    Apparently a second series of Taboo with Tom Hardy is in the offing. Really enjoyed the first, just it was a long time ago.

    Finally caught up with the latest series of Slow Horses - very much enjoyed, especially the fuck up with the tin of paint but was left wondering something
    It felt slightly plot holey that the Mayor's Comms guy disappeared from the alley and was never seen again. Surely he should have been at the memorial event afterwards?

    They’ve been talking about this for a while but nothing ever officially confirmed. I hope it does happen, as was obsessed with the first season.

    7 episodes into season 1, enjoying it but also find it quite upsetting with the brutality though I guess that's the point. See what you mean about the will it hold my interest part, wondering where it could go as a storyline as resistance is futile as they say!

    Saturday Night Live UK - Sky one 10pm.
    I recorded it to see Wet Leg, but the whole show was very surprisingly, very good & pretty funny.
    The sort of humour that I didn't think was permitted anymore, without someone voicing their objections.

    Where does this narrative about 'you can't say that any more' come from? Comedians are still saying offensive shit. Always have done, always will do. Watch Anthony Jeselnik, Luke Heggie, Jerry Sadowitz, Dave Chapelle, Bill Burr etc etc.

    Has offensive comedy ever been done by household names? And you are joking, surely - especially with Bill Burr and Dave Chapelle. They sell out 10,000 seat arenas ffs 😂

    That makes no sense at all. I'm sure you're trying to say something here, but I can't figure out what? Because there's one disabled comedian, who is clearly shit anyway, does that somehow magically mean that the 5 comedians I've quoted above don't exist?

    In early 2026, comedian Rosie Jones publicly criticized fellow comedians Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr for making jokes that target the transgender community and other marginalized groups, urging them to stop. 
    Speaking with Attitude magazine regarding her show Out of Order, Jones directly addressed Gervais and Carr, stating, "With respect, shut the fuck up". 
    Jones contended that certain male comedians frequently target marginalized groups for "cheap" laughs and urged them to stop. She proposed a framework for responsible comedy, encouraging performers to consider their motivations and whether they are "punching down".

    I was at a Ricky Gervais gig a couple of years ago at Wembley Arena.
    It was twice interrupted  by different people, in different areas of the venue and at different times, by ticket holders objecting to his jokes.

    NB I should have said the sort of humour I didn't think was permitted anymore, without people making negative comments or protesting and disrupting etc etc.

    People have been offended by comedy since the beginning of time. I remember somebody pouring a pint of beer over Jerry Sadowitz at the Tramshed in the 80s.

    Yes of course it has. Gervais to name but one. Jim Davison, Bernard Manning are others. 

    But my point is ‘household’ names really means regularly on TV to the extent many if not most homes would recognise them / the name. 

    That doesn’t equate to the examples you give regardless of whether they can sell tickets to their gigs. 

    If it can’t be mainstream even post watershed it suggests the comedy has to be toned down / isn’t allowed.
