An interesting recap that unfortunately misses out the facilitation of the UK press in aiding and abetting the "state of chaos". Repeatedly unchallenging and accepting the 'answers' proffered by ministers and MPs helped sustain the debacle (and unfortunately still remains!)
NYC 22 is a great series (especially when viewed in the correct story order, which didn't happen on broadcast!)

Stumbled across this show and like many others I have to recommend the English dubbed version. The unexpected blindsides of dialogue that leave you laughing out loud; at times offensive but always intended to amuse. Definitely an anime for an adult audience.
From the pen of David Renwick comes this classically English Drama-Com. The two seasons have a distinct difference in feel (beyond the obvious episode durations) The first season being more interesting with it's dual leads illustrating the romantic search for "the one". Tamsin Greig is exceptional as usual in a role filled with pathos and longing.
Frequently cited as a "bad sitcom" the show is nothing of the sort. In fact there is a charm to the ensemble cast, who also appear to be enjoying themselves during the taping. I'm uncertain as to whether it was recorded live in front of an audience (it does have the feel of it) The series gets into it's stride after a few episodes, it's a shame that the original broadcast of the final episodes was done so off handedly (a 3 month gap is a shabby way to treat the hard work of cast & crew!) The Geena Davis Show is well worth a watch, definitely binge worthy too. After 23 years I think it's time for a re-evaluation of a much maligned work of FUN!
A fantastic example of TV documentary making at it's best. There's no extraneous jingle jangle music covering poor sound recording. No superfluous talking heads, just Ian Nairn our guide along the three linked journeys. And with the passage of time his opinions of the architectural and planning decisions that he points out reveal their prescience.

Shame no 2nd series, but I guess that makes the 6 episodes we do have more precious.
Just watched the unaired pilot (Vimeo release) & this looks likely to have been a very dark, black comedy series. Would have been good to use Channel 4 digital platform to gauge viewer interest in the comedy pilot. [Pilot episode - 7/10]
Dystopian near future & the traditional bleak outlands. Kudos all round for the location finding which is setting for a slow unfolding plot. Diverting television as this would probably not get made in an English speaking country.
