Old I know, but I'm surprised there's no thread for this. Then again EG probably isn't the target audience.

That said it reminded me of a recent thread as it's an hilarious commentary on how all Londoners are cunts.

Recommended. iPlayer.

Rightly getting mentioned in the best telly of 2016 lists that are popping up now. Unexpectedly funny and dark. Hopefully it being on those lists will put it on more people's radar

Surprised there's no thread either. This was absolutely brilliant.

Didn't the two chaps that write The Missing have something to do with this, too? Sure they did.

Women are smart and funny now. Get over it.

I thought we had all accepted that women can be funny after Mrs. Brown's Boys.

Watched the first one of these last night and it was indeed very funny. I woke my girlfriend up twice from laughing at it, the "have I got a massive arsehole" line and then at her reaction to that guys teeth.

When was this on? I wouldn't have even heard of it if it wasn't for this thread.

Couple of months ago, maybe 10pm on a weeknight on BBC2.

(All of the above may be inaccurate.)

Just wrapped that up, fucking brilliant. And savage, just a total gut punch.

Competlely savage. They could so easy have made it a series about a womans descent into madness, possuible with just slightly diffeerent facial expressions.

Can you tell which one is your fathers?

I think it was originally sent out to die on BBC Three shortly after it moved to online only. Shit like Mrs Brown's Boys gets prime time on BBC1 and something as great as this doesn't even get a look in on an actual TV channel.

Another of these 'sent to die' claims. It's so good I doubt anyone at the BBC sent it to die. I think they probably felt they were bolstering the credibility of BBC3 which to be frank, despite the ridiculous logo from those chumps at Perfect Curve, actually has some great stuff. But granted, it seems to have BBC2 written all over it.

I'm really not sure why half the repeated content on 2 isn't booted off and they just air BBC3's content in its place. It's not as if iPlayer needs digital-only content to justify its existence.

I saw weekly episodes on iPlayer, BBC3... Did it make it to BBC2? Awesome, well deserved.

Watched the first four back to back last night, absolutely great stuff. Hopefully will find an hour to finish it tonight.

Honestly don't know. We watched it on iPlayer but I thought we'd missed the traditional broadcast showings. Could be wrong.

Watched the whole thing over the last 2 days and loved it. Thanks for the heads up, really hope there is a season 2.

15 minutes is absolutely the right amount of time to judge a show.

Deleted user 31 December 2016 09:23:46

It is if you're convinced women can't be funny. I started watching this yesterday, it's great
