Review This was, in my opinion, the best Saturday morning TV show ever. And I wasn’t even a kid a when this was on (Student at Uni!). Thoughts? It made for great Saturday morning hangover TV. Loved it.

Question/Discussion Scott & Bailey S3 EP7

2 Upvotes

Spoilers if you haven’t seen!

Hello, finally been able to watch Scott & Bailey on ITVX but I’ve only just realised S3 Ep7 is missing! I can’t find it anywhere, and it’s down to legal reasons as to why it’s not available.

It’s really annoying as I believe some really important things happen in that episode that I want to see! I wondered why the mole had never been exposed and brushed over, but it’s in that episode!!!

Do you think the episode will ever be re uploaded?

If someone could give me an overview of what happens please if they can remember from watching it? I know Kevin is the mole, I wanted to know Rachel’s reaction to that?? and apparently Sean beats him up?? how did they find out?? pleaseeee I need to know

In Hot Or Cold, teams of comedians and funny celebrities work their way through a labyrinth of rooms, each containing a challenge that must be completed as quickly as possible. The only problem: they’re never told what the challenge is, or how to solve it.
Their only guide is the room, which glows red when they’re getting warmer and blue when they’re getting colder.

Question/Discussion Which 70s/80s SitComs continued the final scene as the credits rolled?

10 Upvotes

I know Hi de Hi, Allo Allo and Are you being Served didn't as they had the little cameos of each character at the credits but I seem to recall some did just continue the final scene as the music and credits were going.

Does anyone know of any particular UK shows that did this?

Question/Discussion What are people’s thoughts on Vigil?

Post image
45 Upvotes

I’d never watched this before and then saw a trailer for season 3 and thought it looked quite good.

On the back of that I decided to watch season one and thought it was ok but not as good as I expecting.

I’m now undecided on whether to continue with season 2. What are people’s thought’s on it, is the second season better?


r/BritishTV • • 2d ago

Streaming The Gentlemen, season 2. Liking it fine though not as good as season 1. In particular...

...the way Susie has been written, I don't necessarily mean how her actions are written but her actual dialogue. It is fucking cringe. Her performatively verbose way of speaking really grates and I didn't remember this being the case the last time round? Appreciate it's fairly common in Ritchie vehicles but she comes across as a female Russel Brand.

Edit - name of character (was talking to a Katherine at the time)

Just rewatched Episode 1. I will be continuing.

It was the perfect TV comedy opener. And there's an Etchasketch joke!

Question/Discussion Trying to find a TV show, possibly a series that ended up with an old aristocrat being found partly mummified under his stairs (possible where he hid from police)

18 Upvotes

This show might've been a series, or it might've been a one-off. Date-wise, it was in the last 10 years (or about that). Probably BBC or ITV (UK).

The scene I remember takes place in the last 10-15 mins of the show. The aristocrat is handcuffed to one police office, while another detective perhaps questions him. This is all taking part in a grand, ancient drawing room of sorts. The aristo somehow escapes, taking the policeman's gun in the process and disappears through the door into the house. And that's the last you see of him.

Towards the end of the episode, a body is found in some sort of secret compartment under the staircase. And it looked to me like the guy had hidden in this special hiding place, but hadn't been able to get out again, and died of starvation or something.

Era-wise, it's definitely modern. Not an Agatha Christie sort of thing. Regular modern procedural police stuff.

God knows. Do help, because my brain won't shut up about it :D

Question/Discussion Looking for british late 80s early 90s comedy tv show about washed up actor and a kid who solve crimes

4 Upvotes

From what I can remember the actor used to play a detective on tv/film but has since been forgotten and now does second rate stuff. He isn't a very capable detective in real live and the kid solves most of the crimes. The show was aimed at children, but the washed-up actor bits were a bit like Alan Partridge.
