Your weekly dose of British humor! TV shows, dvds, cartoons, films - the lot!

In March I posted about the new series of Gavin & Stacey and questioned whether it could be even better than the first series, and it most certainly was!
I managed to catch all 7 episodes in the second series, apart from the 6th episode (boring, but necessary for storylines to flow) I thought they were all very funny. The series started well when both Gavin and Stacey’s family were out together for a meal, this is when everyone found out about Nessa’s baby - Smithy being the last to know! I won’t run through the whole series because I’m sure you’ve either; watched it or; are going to buy the DVD. It also ended well, I won’t spoil it in case you haven’t seen it yet. (more…)

Tuesday’s episode was the last in the current series of Shameless. The Channel4 show is very popular, and rightly so. It is very well written and great to watch a program which still retains some relative uniqueness (even with Skins) unlike many other shows on British television. I managed to watch all 17 episodes in the latest series and overall thought it was very good, although it has slightly lost its way.
I started watching Shameless from the 3rd series, so I’ve seen the last 3 series. At the beginning of the 5th series I thought it was the best Shameless has been, however as the episodes continued into double figures it started to drag and the story lines began to feel like they had been written because they needed to be. For me 17 episodes for a show like this was too many, about 5 too many. (more…)

Comedian Matt Lucas was the first celebrity to take over the hot seat in the new series of Big Brother. The traditional Celebrity Big Brother has been scrapped this year for the new twisted version call Hijack. The house has been filled with talented individuals hand picked by Big Brother. (more…)

At 10.30 on BBC last night (monday) there was another ‘Live At The Apollo’, this time Hosted by Lee Mack with the guest comedian being Sean Lock - you will probably have seen him on ‘8 out of 10 cats’.
If you didnt get chance to watch it last night I highly recommend searching YouTube and the web in general for videos of Lee Mack and Sean Lock, or you can read about Sean on the BBC comedy website.
Enjoy!
