Ohhh, Safc that is awesome. I like that sort of thing and I'll be examining those piles extremely closely. We share a few things for sure.

Re: THE TV SHOW THREAD - *** NO SPOILERS ***
In very dark territory with One Foot in the Grave today. A care home for the elderly in the middle of nowhere. An imitation of Apocalypse Now.
I read that they cut a scene for the VHS release, since restored on the DVD. No prizes for guessing which scene if you ever see it. Safc definitely has. I can see his boxset from here.

Re: THE TV SHOW THREAD - *** NO SPOILERS ***
I had the feeling I'd mentioned this episode before. Here I was in September 2018. OFITG upset a lot of people in its time. The number of animals that die in it is quite incredible for a start.Rogg wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 7:20 pm Brian Murphy turned up in One Foot in the Grave. Bet they had complaints about this one too. Very dark, again. Suicide.
David Renwick on the commentary of the episode with the old people's home, saying the BBC had so many complaints that it was edited for repeats. The original is on the DVD and it is nasty for 'sitcom.' A long way from Some Mothers Do Ave Em.

A tortoise got burned alive and another one got buried alive. A snake suffocated, baby alligators boiled alive, god knows how many fish were electrocuted. A robin got killed by a cat. Then there was the cat that got stuck in the freezer. I never noticed the ongoing massacre until somebody mentioned it.

Yep the snake episode is one of my favourites. I'll be watching the 90-min special 'One Foot in the Alrgarve' tonight. No Columbo today, sorry Randy.

It's Roy Hudd is it? I'd forgotten that. I think I saw that one on TV when it first aired. One of the last eps.Safc wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 3:35 pmI watched "Threatening Weather" on Sunday night with Roy Hudd absolutely hilarious.

Re: THE TV SHOW THREAD - *** NO SPOILERS ***
Yeah its the last series. I always spot new things when I watch One Foot in the Grave and The Royle Family very clever writing and to me both are very underrated series.Rogg wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 3:46 pmIt's Roy Hudd is it?

I'm not so good on The Royle Family. I've seen all the Christmas ones but haven't even seen all the regular episodes. The Golden Egg Cup and The New Sofa are my favourites.

Re: THE TV SHOW THREAD - *** NO SPOILERS ***
The 3 series of The Royle Family are well worth the watch only on 30 mins each aswell. Joe's Crackers Christmas special is great aswellRogg wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 4:55 pmYes OFITG is a world built with amazing care.

Just watched the OFITG special from Christmas Day 1995: 'The Wisdom of the Witch'. Unbelievably good. Anyone remember the name of the spider?

Nice. The BBC can't get enough of it.
The spider's name begins with an E...
