No wrong answers. Could be a game show, docu-series, fiction, sci-fi, anything that didn’t make it but should have.
I forgot about Look Around You. Classic stuff.
Inside Number 9. I don’t hear much talk about it, but for me, it’s up there with Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, etc. for a series of short stories with twists.
I used to watch As Time Goes By with Judy Dench and Lionel somebody. That was funny.
Also there was one called “Good Neighbours” in American Syndication, and The Good Life in the UK. It was weird and funny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Life\_(1975_TV_series)
2005’s the robinsons with martin freeman and hugh bonneville
it was so good but so short and it’s so hard to find again
Anyone remember A Very Peculiar Practice? I watched again recently, it still holds up.

Chewing gumLife On Mars
The misfits. A show about a group of working class juvenile delinquents who suddenly get random super powers.
The young ones
Fuck me, good pull. Extremely underrated!
Loved the bands on there!
That introduced me to Motorhead and then to full on grindcore
That’s what I love about summer.
Tea on the lawn.
Summer’s a bummer.

Does That Mitchell and Webb Look count?
Not within the UK. It’s pretty well known in regard to UK sketch comedies here.
I Am Not an Animal - animated black comedy series voiced by Steve Coogan and Simon Pegg. Created and directed by Peter Baynham. Sadly the animation style was torturously slow to make, so only one season was made.
I used to watch a lot of British comedy but never really watched any that aren’t highly rated. The only two that come to mind are Man Stroke Woman and Green Wing
Can’t say I have a hugely encyclopedic knowledge but: what if I told you there was a sketch show with Olivia Colman, Martin Freeman, David Mitchell, Robert Webb, and Matt Holness (et al)? With the writing staff including Richard Ayoade and Ricky Gervais?
That show exists, and it’s called Bruiser. It got 6 episodes in 2000. As with any sketch show, they’re not all home runs, but there are some truly great sketches in there.
Holeeeee sheeeeeeit. Gonna cheggit out later
Spaced (1999–2001).
I’m genuinely curious how well known or underrated this one is.
Along with the mighty boosh (which is very… different) it is required viewing.
