A documentary series where Giles Coren and Sue Perkins live as if they were in various historical eras. Interesting and hilarious in equal parts. My favourite line, about what I seem to remember was "hot posset": "It's like mulled vomit." Loved that show. I was at a LGBT Q&A thing a few years back and Sue was there. I asked her if they would ever do more seasons. She said that her and Giles pretty much got black listed in stately homes for getting so pissed with the drink and foods they were eating and causing mayhem 🤣 so weren't allowed to film more. Also I know of Twin Peaks but never saw it as it was before the times of all access things like Netflix and Prime. So never on air Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea how popular these series were in their own countries, but back here no one has heard of these. I will never ever get over the fact that Galavant was cancelled after only two seasons. It was so much fun, and the songs were (mostly) great, especially in the second season. Those of you unfamiliar with this series, it's a musical comedy set in a medieval fantasy world. The story begins when Galavant sets out to save his love Madalena, who has been kidnapped by the evil yet goofy king Richard. My favourite songs are Secret Mission, My Dragon Pal and Me, I Don't Like You and If I Were a Jolly Blacksmith. It is such an absurd show and so much fun! Being Human has a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living as roommates. It's great. I cried, I laughed, and most importantly, it introduced me to Aidan Turner - bless him and his beautiful, beautiful face 👏 Also, kudos for the great Vanity Fair adaptation of 1998, which doesn't get the love it deserves. Okay I just have to comment about Being Human. I LOVED that show. And completely agree with Aidan Turner sentiment as well. Almost took over the number 1 'favourite vampire' slot for me!

imnotafreakofnature! Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Sledge Hammer, a cornball cop show from the 80s, and The Good Guys with Colin Hanks and Bradley Whitford, another cornball cop show from about five years ago that only ran one season. Also love Red Green, which aired on Maine public tv. Not surprised Canadians know about it too, since Canada is a suburb of Maine. lol Link to post Share on other sites

That show had me busting up every episode. It was supposed to be stupid as it was a parody of stuff like the Dirty Harry movies. Thinking of Sledge Hammer got me thinking of another 80's show that was a semi campy (and the main reason why it got me thinking is because I watched it around the same time as Sledge) called Remington Steele. Not sure if anyone has mentioned Remington Steele yet, but it had Pierce Brosnan before he played 007 and if I recall correctly, Doris Roberts was also in it. Brosnan played a mysterious ex-thief who a female P.I. hires to pretend to own and operate the P.I. business she started because nobody took her seriously as an actual P.I. Brosnans character never revealed his "real" name in the show (unless he did towards the end). I think it was the role that actually got the producers of 007 to take notice in him.
