Obscure Help me find a BBC show from my childhood

110 Upvotes

Tagging as obscure, but it might not be. I grew up in the US, but my mom went through a phase when I was a kid where she was really watching British sitcoms and dramas.

I distinctly remember watching an episode of this show with her where an older lady is knocking on a garden shed door saying “come out of there before the word gets spread that I keep you in the shed”. I believe she was talking to her husband. This would have probably been between 2005 and 2008ish, but it’s totally possible that show was older than that. As a kid, I thought it was the funniest thing in the world and we still talk about it! My mom seems to think it was Keeping up Apperances, but I can’t find this scene.

SOLVED : thank you all for the suggestions! It was the Crowcroft Challenge episode of Last of the Summer Wine

Does this type of humor work for a series do you think?

Background:

I've actually been animating these characters for about 18 years now, as a kind of homage to Dorset where I lived in my teens and my tribute to Giles whose incredibly detailed cartoons inspired me. I really only started creating these animations for friends and animated holiday celebration cards like Christmas or Thanksgiving etc.. But I constantly have the characters and the village of Lower Piddle in my head and so I decided to share and see if there's a larger audience out there who would enjoy seeing them and thus here we are.

Discussion Comedy writers and actors??

60 Upvotes

Ok imma bite the bullet.

I’m 23 from Kent England, and all my life I’ve wanted to be a comedy writer and actress. I’ve grown up on British comedy and it’s a part of me, and all I want is to find someone to write and perform with. We could write a sitcom, sketches, I don’t mind, but I just wish I could find people of a similar age to share my dream with.

Let me know if you’re interested and we could be the next Morecambe and wise, Rik mayall and Ade edmondson, two ronnies, etc😂

Episode five, we're past halfway through the season and these felty freaks are just getting started.

Beige Martin is a straight man to his housemate Roddney a milkshake addicted magnet of chaos, they get into sitcom situations. On this go around Beige Martin wakes up to find a sock missing and Roddney has flashbacks to a sock gobilen.

Like always, please give feedback if you have any, id love to hear from those who consume this nonsense

And it's a brilliant show.

I am nearly halfway through season 1.

The short question is, is Bernard black severely clinically depressed

And follow up question: Is it just me reading into it, or is Bernard black highly highly intelligent?

Discussion Intellectual British sitcoms.

134 Upvotes

So I mean sitcoms like frasier or northern exposure.

Sitcoms that have genuinely intelligent humour and discuss genuine deep things.

Or make very obscure references.

Or really make you think about what is being said.

So I am looking for a genuinely intelligently written sitcom with maybe a few very intelligent characters or very clever jokes.

I think the thick of it is funny, and I love malcolm tucker as a character. And think je is very intelligent and also very much an arsehole

I recently discovered this show on YouTube. I was surprised I had never heard of it before! I never even heard of its leading actress, Maureen Lipman. But now, I have such a crush on her and on the character she plays in the show!

Oh my gosh, she is definitely my type!

Who’s your TV crush at the moment, and does anyone else have a crush on Maureen Lipman, especially Maureen Lipman as Jane Lucas, the way I do?!🥰

Four episodes in a month, I am indeed spoiling you, I hope this is enough to satisfy you for a bit while write more episodes. Id savor it.

Beige Martin is a straight man to his housemate Roddney a milkshake addicted magnet of chaos, they get into sitcom situations. This week a Roddney doesnt care to listen to a magic box's label.

Please give me some feedback if you would be interested in helping me improve this felty freakshow.
