I tend only to watch telly if Mulder tells me to download it - but The IT Crowd is fucking fantastic.

My missus didn't like it but you seem more nerdy than her. I think you might lol

How in a holy hail of shrapnel did you extrapolate that from my post.

He has prolly never seen Terry and June or Love Thy Neighbour

It seems you've found the crack in my argument.

To be honest, I'm prone to making rash judgements on points of hatred and then sticking doggedly to them for no rational reason. I experienced that after seeing a trailer on the telly for it.

I suppose it's not to everyone's taste but the first episode of the second series made me hurt with the lols. (I think that's the one. It was where they went to see a gay show at the theatre anyway).

Also, I've just remembered that Green Wing is orsum.

Well, all I have to say to you is STFU. You obviously get crappy TV over in your deserted island on which you happen to be residing. Otherwise, you might be referring to knock-knock jokes or whatever...

Anyways.. I'll stick to my first demand..

STFU.

Snuff Box
Darkplace
Man to Man with Dean Learner
Monkey Dust
Spaced
Nighty Night
Alan Partridge
