THE TV SHOW THREAD - *** NO SPOILERS ***

[Rogg]

Finally starting One Foot in the Grave on Monday I think... a mile-wide boxset of 7 standard-size DVD cases proper boxset. I've had it for about 15 years... yikes.

Same as mine

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.

That's just 1 cupboard's worth ive got another 2 and then a full bookshelf with all the films on.

[Rogg]

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.

[Rogg]

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.

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.

[Randall]

He was in a pretty dark Jonathan creek as well

[Rogg]

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.

[Rogg]

- 'You're not going to take it out!'

- 'I'm not going to leave it in there, am I? So its eyes light up every time you open the door.'

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.

Yes OFITG is a world built with amazing care. So much going on.

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.

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 aswell
