...and shown

I think it was great. Season 2 not quite so much. Don't think I've got into S3

C
I refuse to say 'Season'. It's 'Series'!!

My kids have no clue when I say I'm going the the Chemists. They say Pharmacy or worse, fecking Drugstore.

And worse, my daughter said 'bread cake' instead of 'barm cake' yesterday. I had to go and have a lie down.

Just finished S1 - awesome series resulting in many belly laughs
I noticed the graveyard bench is also the the same bench as ***** bench on the Extras Special, #BBCbenchprop - Tweeted Ricky Gervais about it and he didn't respond the miserable get.

Same bench was in Detectorists too, I saw it last night in the ep S2 where Lance was waiting to meet his daughter. I'm getting a bit obsessed by this.

Given your taste, I think you'd love Succession.

I think it's one of the best shows I've seen in ages

Fair shout. I watched half of the first episode some weeks back. Need to watch it properly. The list is big at the moment.... Golden age of TV indeed. Time was I’d see one decent program a year, got a list long as my arm now to watch, have to ration it!

By Drugstore she’s probably just being literal, and she’s off to her dealers’ to buy crack.

But more importantly, only wrong uns from t’wrong side o the hill say barmcake. Never heard the phrase till I was in my 20s and found myself in M*nchester

every day is a school day, nothing goes to waste up north then;)
Chips (paid for), scraps (the bits of fish butter that are left in the pan - free) and pea wet (mushy pea gravy, no actual pea - free). Nowt better. It's a Bolton/Wigan thing I think, don't seem to do it here in Yorkshire.
