....only now discovering 'Cunk on Britain'
A history lesson and a piss take all rolled in to one.... brilliant.
What other tv gems are lying undiscovered out there?
Give me your best ![](/icons/s/cool.gif) |

"What We Do in the Shadows - the TV show.
Loved watching that
It's so good! I rewatched the orgy episode last night because Matt Berry is perfection in it."
I like the lady who screams then repeatedly jumps out of the window ![](/icons/s/razz.gif) |

'The Resort' on sky is one of the best one off series I've seen in a long time. Drama/sci fi/comedy about a couple on holiday but it's great I swear.
Also white lotus is possibly the best thing I've seen ever |

Oh Ghosts! I think that's the name. Yes that's quite enjoyable, the latest season had a really poignant episode in it. |

"Philomena Cunk is brilliant.
Other comedies which slipped under the radar a bit:
Toast of London
Garth Marenghi's Dark Place
Jam
Nighty Night."
Have you seen that Garth Marenghi's coming back with a live tour? |

Cunk is great! Check out Mandy too if you like Diane Morgan (though I admit I find the weird mouth thing she does in that hard to watch).
Have you watched "The Detectorists"? One of my lockdown discoveries and I loved it. Funny and poignant.
For a drama, and this was actually going to be the subject of a thread I never got round to starting of 'things that sound terrible but are brilliant', I'd recommend "State of Happiness", which is all about the Norwegian oil industry in the 1970s. In Norwegian. Told you it sounds awful (but it's very good)! |

My favourite line (of many belters) is "I will say is that TV is broken. And I refuse to mend it twice." ![](/icons/s/lol.gif) |

Titz Towers, North Notts |
None of these are new:
Nightingales - surreal comedy that was amazing.
Early Doors - overshadowed by The Royle Family and Phoenix Nights, but much better than both.
Edge of Darkness (UK version) - won a load of awards, but not well remembered today.
Our Friends in the North - a huge programme with a stellar cast. |

"Taskmaster. It's pretty popular, but everyone should be watching it as it's the funniest thing on TV
On the list "
You won't regret it, honestly. I may need a re-watch myself ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |

If you like Garth Marenghi, you can watch Horrifica Illuminata on YouTube.
Look around you and The Peter Serafinowicz show were good too. |

I love Philomena Cunk.
I've mentioned Red Light a couple of times. Definitely my best series this year. Gripping, outstanding acting and awesome storyline, set in red light districts in Belgium and the Netherlands. Channel 4.
Red Light

And while I'm at it, tho' not sure if it's still on a player anywhere, but 'Flight of the Conchords' is comedy gold, imho. |

Loved watching that with my dad |

Same. Blank stares when I mention it. I'll never forget that catchphrase ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |
