For cheapskates like me who don't go to the cinema any more there's a multi-part drama by the called , free to watch on (uk only), made in 1980.

It's very good on detail and feels historically accurate, and I didn't recognise David Suchet as Edward Teller. Worth watching just for that.

I randomly and accidentally got into watching Man like Mobeen in series 3 and I've waited a few weeks to start series 1 to try and forget series 3! It's very funny, reminds me a bit of "People just do nothing" but the story is grittier. The writing is good and the Guz Khan / Tez Ilyas chemistry works really well...

Disappointed in the BBC2 "University Challenge at 60" documentary not mentioning, even in passing, its origin in the US show "College Bowl" or acknowledging the long serving announcer Jim Pope (or Dom Murray-Henderson before him) whilst having a section on Roger Tilling. They did however seem to have a full copy of the original Granada version of the theme (Derek New's College Boy).

Good evening!

Welcome to Would I Lie To You - a show where sometimes dishonesty is the best policy.

On Lee Mack's team tonight:

A language model making its WILTY debut, it's !

And a corporate rip off born with denial, it's !

...

Now let's see David Mitchell's sanity being shred to pieces.

And so do ours.

Good thread on the representation of trans characters on UK TV.

Wtf was with that ending? Should have just stopped at the end of ep4. Shockingly poor finish, it made absolutely no sense at all.

BBC series and film recommendations please!

Much as I hate the BBC's disrespectul manipulative and surveillance, I do still use it.

I just watched the first series of which was watchable but below par Sci-fi.

I'll watch anything if it is good but mostly like , , , (yes watched Tinker, Tailor again 👌) and aforementioned .

Does anyone know if @mumoss from the birdsite has an account over here? They write a most excellent UK television blog, mostly concentrating on content from the 1970s and 1980s, and I'd love to credit them properly.

In the meantime, for fans of The Young Ones and/or Spitting Image, or indeed if you're just interested in obscure facts about 1980s TV, this will keep you busy for a few minutes.
