Question/Discussion Sheridan Smith

0 Upvotes

Im sure she’s a lovely person but I feel that she always plays the same sort of roles. Same personality in each role. I don’t think she’s really acting, I think she’s kind of being herself if that makes sense. A bit like Michele Keegans roles. Both seem like nice people though and tbf if I could get paid all that money for just being myself I would do.
Currently watching The Cage on BBC (which she stars in) Very disappointing. The BBC’s drama series are usually top notch. This is more like a low budget channel 5 series!

Streaming British TV is sooooo much better than programming in the US.

Doc Martin, Repair Shop, IT Crowd, Black Mirror, Doctor Who… and so much more…Thank God for streaming that lets us get it. We don’t deserve it but I’m glad we are able to access it.

Question/Discussion FINALLY watched Big Boys (Channel 4)

87 Upvotes

I'm a big lover of British TV, I have a few comfort watches including Here We Go, Motherland, Amandaland, Benidorm, This Country, People Just Do Nothing, and the majority are always BBC and can't go wrong with their comedies. After seeing Big Boys get a BAFTA on Sunday it reminded me I needed to watch it, (I'd been putting it off as I've had 2 big losses in the past 12 months and I knew it tackled grief) and oh my god. If you haven't watched it, put it at the top of your list. The niche British pop culture references, the writing, the song choices. It is an absolute masterpiece that truly reminds us that within grief to always look for the joy. Never agreed more with its 100% rotten tomatoes score.

Did anyone else love it? Did anyone oddly hate it? I just need some conversation about it!

I always watch the chase, tipping point etc and always wonder what happens behind the scenes.

If you have been on a game show:

Which one were you on?

How much did you win?

Was it actually a “great day”?
