I went to a Snooker hall in Glasgow with my dad one Sunday evening (I was a teenager). When we finished playing my dad took me to the bar for a coke and just as we walked in, a drunk and abusive guy was being thrown out. It was my History teacher. I had History the following morning. I asked him why he got thrown out of the Snooker hall last night. If looks could kill......

I would recommend next, in order 1. Garth Meranghis Darkplace - It stars Richard Aoyade and Matt Berry, it's short (6 epissodes), extremely surreal and very funny. 2. Black Books - Graham Linehan co-created it with Dylan Moran (lead actor) and was one of the writers (1st season). Great writing, amazing cast and fantastic cameos from many funny comedians of the time 3. The Mighty Boosh - Strap in and come with us on now on a journey, through time and space ....

Now come on King Boomer. The woman did not make a noise like a deranged turkey when Jen dropped the coin in her cup of coffee. She said "what the hell did you do that for?" Only she ran it all together and didn't articulate any of the consonants. She's kind of like Kenny from South Park. You can tell what she's saying if you pay attention most of the time but it's hard.

Paul Revere actually cried "The Redcoats are coming" - a lot of the colonists who considered themselves revolutionary still regarded themselves as British at the time.

Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place is really good

What I loved about the last episode is they made a proper episode instead of a thrown together gimmicky program. It was a true reflection of the quality of the show. Made me very happy.

And so the journey ends. Now please watch Derry Girls!

11:42 - I was this years old when I realised that this Peter Stringfellow character here was played by Super Hans (Matt King) from Cheap Show. Maybe I clocked that years ago but had just plain forgotten. It caught me out this time of watching this episode.

Can I also be the one to point out, the Peter Stringfellow look-alike in Douglas's office with him is none other than SUPER HANS!!!!

So sad that this is the last episode of "IT Crowd"to react to. Lmao, Moss subtly roasting Douglas is one of the best moments. "Book recommendation? I can't read!" LMAO, he sounds so proud about it. "Coffee Tramp Toss Bitch"and "Small Person Racist".

Please add Phoneshop to your watchlist! ❤ Amazing show! First episode is a bit slow but picks up after that.

If you love Kathy Burke from what she did with Harry Enfield then I recommend a sitcom she was in called "Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie." It does not contain Harry Enfield and it will probably take a few episodes but it is really really good. It is from 1999-2001.

My uncle died a couple of years ago. My dad and his 5 remaining siblings carried the coffin through the church, on their knees, to “Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work we go”.

Darkplace is must watch, but I'm also recommending Saxondale. Everyone bangs on about Alan Partridge so much that Saxondale tends to get forgotten. Rock group roadie turned middle aged pest control operative with anger management issues. Its great.

Please do Black Books or Mighty Boosh next. Richmond is really famous in Britain. He is called Noel Fielding and he is best known for Mighty Boosh. You would love it.

You know that was Superhans as Raymond Peterfellow.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace should be your next reaction series. It's only six episodes, but it is top-notch from start to finish. It also has Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry in it.

Thanks so much, KB and QB! Really enjoyed your reactions to stuff I’ve loved and been “brought up on” this side of The Pond. At the risk of duplicating suggestions, or saturating your ideas, have you encountered any of the following gems (IMHO) of British comedy? … ‘Man Down’, ‘Black Books’, ‘The Armando Iannucci Shows’, ‘Toast of London’ and ‘Absolutely’ (not to be confused with the also good ‘Absolutely Fabulous’). All surprisingly underrated and off most people’s comedy radars, but cult classics of alternative British comedy. Also worth considering the one season ‘Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place’, which features Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade.

Glad you enjoyed... the IT Crowd! 😁

Hi King & Queen Boomer, I know I keep saying you should watch 'Garth Marenghis Dark Place' but if you love Moss & Mr Renholm then you will love, love, LOVE! 'Dark Place' Moss (Richard Ayoade) is so funny in it and think his best/funniest role and Matt Berry (Douglas/Mr Renholm) is his typical self being hilarious! Only one series ever made think 6 episodes so wont take long to get through.

My son is autistic. When he was first diagnosed I broke the news by messaging family. Predictive text changed it to artistic spectrum. My family responded with don't know what artistic spectrum is but we'll give him all the support he needs. Now when I watch this episode I laugh and cringe at the same time.

The reference to "Cat bin lady" - I remember the national outrage at that older woman putting a cat into a wheeliebin! There was a national campaign to find her & jail her, it went on for weeks!! I'm not kidding!!

What We Do In The Shadows. 'nuff said.

Wonderful stuff! I used to watch The IT Crowd with my young kids, years ago. I realise that I was watching the censored version. I don't know what I would have done if some of the naughty stuff had come on!

Green Wing definitely worth a look. 😊

My daughter is an artist and one of her friends designed Jen's office. He based it on butt plugs, if you look at her knick knacks you'll see it. That's why it was funny when Rhynholm ate one of her toys.

Katherine Parkinson (Jen) is really good in a dramatic role in the UK show 'Humans'. It also has Gemma Chan who was one of the actors in the Star Trek bit on The IT Crowd.

Fortunately every season has a long blooper reel to react to :) also! A few episodes of Travel Man feature IT Crowd actors and it kinda feels like the show all over again. I guess these actors can't help but play off eachother like they used to.

You should watch Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie. It stars Kathy Burke (who you'll know as Perry from Kevin and Perry).

‘Here we go’ is a great show and has Jen (Katherine Parkinson) and Gerard from Peep Show as the main characters. Husband and wife.

Everyone else has done Black Books. Watch Green Wing next 🙏 you and QB will love it

Having seen what makes you laugh, I reckon "Coupling" would have you out of your chair quite a few times but "Black Books" is another silly one that might be further up your list.
