Finally stuck with this and am hooked. About 10 episodes in to S3 and it's not laugh out loud funny all the time but it's nice easy viewing with chuckles along the way.

Louise is fast becoming one of my favourite cartoon characters. A complete psychopath who's one liners kill me at times.

Yisssssssssssss

Louise is my favourite. Then Andy & Ollie. Then Teddy.

Aye the twins are great value as well. They aren't overused either so when they are in a scene you can almost guarantee they'll make you laugh.

Of all the things I've seen so far one of the bits that's had me in stitches was when his boy was doing mascot race and won twice. The guy asks who he's representing and he forgets the name of his dad's shop. He's trying to remember while the other guy talks and all the while Bob is shouting in the background (and what looks like 10 feet away) "Bob's Burgers! It's Bob's Burgers!" No idea why but the whole way the scene was done had me in absolute bits, topped off with Bob dropping his head when the message fails to get through [emoji38]

THE NAME OF THE RESTAURANT IS BOB'S BURGERS

The episodes when Fischoeder plays a bigger role are good for all his snide digs at the restaurant. I've also just discovered that the voice of Jimmy Pesto is no longer the voice of Jimmy Pesto because he stormed the US Capitol last year: Jay Johnston - Wikipedia

Ooft! A personality that matches his character's.

Kristen Schaal's one of my favourite comedy actresses. Brilliant in Bojack, 30 Rock and What We Do In The Shadows as well.

Tears, snotters and clay everywhere. The Great Pottery Throw Down was back tonight.

Lucinda absolutely aced that main challenge so I'm glad the judges agreed. Hopefully Siobhan is back soon, Ellie was a bit dull for my liking.

After the disappointment of War of the Worlds, I was a little worried about Around the World in 80 days.  Fortunately, they managed their budget a bit better by scaling back the CGI.  It’s all good, if mindless, fun.

The Tourist - anybody watching this mini series on BBC? it's totally mental with a Coen Brothers feel to it, the violence is extreme with some very dark humour thrown in. Set in Australia it starts off like a scene from Duel with the main character, played by Jamie Dornan, ending up in hospital with no memory of who he is. From there it gets weirder and weirder and the only person he can trust is Helen, a young probationary policewoman. Worth a watch.

Been watching Four Lives on BBC One this week. The story of 4 men who were murdered in London. The real court case was well publicised at the time but the bigger story was the monumental, persistent f**k ups by the police along the way. Absolutely horrifically handled with an inquest last month ruling that their actions, or lack thereof, led to the death of 3 of the men.

The drama itself is so well made with stand out performances from Sheridan Smith and Stephen Merchant. Only 3 episodes so well worth watching.

It’s very much in the Mighty Boosh envelope.  I think it’s great.  
 

“I feel nothing but utter contempt” had me buckled.

Bit pissed off I binged the whole series after the first one, it will be a long wait for the next series. Gets more surreal every episode. I've been trying to find out if any of it was filmed in LA but I don't think so, it's cleverly done.

P.S. It's written by Father Ted creator Arthur Mathews along with Matt Berry.

The Race to Perfection on Sky F1. Excellent series looking back at some of the moments of F1 since the 1950s. 

Just watched the "controversial moments" episode. This was made pre-2021 so focused on Prost, Senna and Schumacher. Must be made in 2019/2020 as it refers to Hamilton as a 6-time Champion.

Very good watch with proper people interviewed (Ron Dennis, Patrick Head, Bernie Ecclestone and so on). Using this as my fix whilst waiting for Drive to Survive.

I usually enjoy Cats does Countdown, and it was OK tonight, but the guy in Dictionary Corner ripping off David O'Doherty's act was painfully unfunny.
Not seen it but ripping off David O'D is unacceptable, he's often the highlight. Saw him in Edinburgh a few years ago and he was brilliant
