Thoroughly enjoyed (the repeats of) Chuck Berry in concert and the Tom Jones documentary on BBC 4 last night.

Chuck was in great form.

Finally got round to cracking through The Office the US one. Brilliant, I’m on season 6. Once you get past the awful episodes that mimic the UK version it’s brilliant! Some excellent characters. Creed and Kevin are absolute gold! Michael’s hatred of Toby always cracks me up.

Yep 100% my thoughts. You have to treat it totally differently to the UK office. You can feasibly believe that the UK version is a documentary whereas the US version is far too ridiculous to be a mockumentary, treat it like a sitcom and its very enjoyable. With some great characters, like you say.

It's easily the best sit-com even if does go a bit downhill after Michael leaves.

Yeah I saw him the year before that live at the Lanchester (Coventry) Arts festival in 1971.He was top of the bill, which included Slade.First time he'd performed in the UK since the Beatles days apparently.IIRC he might have been wearing the same rather loud shirt.

Just watched the first episode in the final Happy Valley series - brilliant. So well written and acted by all but Sarah Lancashire - just superb as always....

Think they are both brilliant in different ways.

Yeah, I'm three episodes into Season 2 and it's definitely not as good. Season 1 was tremendous.

Haven't seen the new Harry show yet but I think he (and she for that matter) would have to do well to outfantisize Stonehouse.

Edit .Don't have a lot of time for the Royals-especially those two ,nor for JS either.

Lol, sorry mate.

I just saw the episode David Brent has a cameo in, I was really excited and loved it! Could do with being in it more.
