I love Inside No9 but not sure if the Halloween special wasn't just a bit *too* clever?

Maybe, some very nice touches though.  

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Watched the final episode of Years and Years tonight. Then straight away watched the news. I wasn't 100% sure that it wasn't the same programme.

I watched the last two episodes in a row via iPlayer. The sense of attention to detail comes across, just as it did in the previous series. Not just in the little things you see in passing (the Samuel

I'm glad I watched it live and didn't switch over...

I was sat watching it thinking WTF is going on, till the penny drops, then you just have to tip your hat to Pemberton & Shearsmith for daring to do something so different with a live broadcast and potentially lose half their audience in the process.

Plus, it showed how daft it is to live tweet during a TV show you're supposed to be watching passing immediate judgement on something before you know how it's going to end. It's a pet hate of mine so it was very satisfying to see a lot of people who can't put their phones down for 30 minutes left looking really dumb. Take that, Twitter!

Apart from that, my favourite bit was Shearsmith's quip to Stephanie Cole: 'Bet you don't get this on Open All Hours'. :biggrin:

I got got. Watched it on iplayer and I only had 30 mins to spare so when they put on the repeat of A Quiet Night In I went and did something else.  Later on I saw people on facebook talking about it so went back and watched it later.  

Really enjoyed it.  Something different and clever (as per usual) and good halloween fun.

As a Dad of 3 there are certain kids programmes I hate, but there are a few I enjoy watching with the kids. Voltron Legendary Defender on Netflix is, frankly one of the best shows on TV IMHO and I'm really enjoying the Dragon Prince as well. Does anyone have any kids shows that they secretly don't mind watching with the kids?

Channel 4 HQ off to Leeds.  I thought they might go Salford tbh, but Leeds is a decent choice.  

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

The shopkeeper must have struggled to make a living though, all he ever got was Mr Benn trying on the costumes but never hiring anything.

Top graphics though and great voice over from Ray Brooks.

the voice overs in those days were magical- the guy who did Paddington  Michael hordern- fantastic voice

He used to bring back little historical souvenirs sometimes so he’d probably auction them off and split the profits with him . Hopefully . I’d hate to think our pleasure was on the back of the shopkeeper having to shut  down his shop ...

Ray Brooks was brilliant as that poker playing gambler on a drama called Big Deal in the 80`s and also starred in top drama of the sixties Cathy Come Home , top man .

He also did a radio series called Detective, which is aired on Radio 4Extra  every now and then.

I think it's just finished another run, now available on iPlayer Radio.

Richard briers voice of roobarb  and custard was good too, always thought it was hard to tell if it was ray brooks or paul Nicholas on some voice overs as their voices sounded exactly the same

Oh bbc are trailing a programme on Prince Charles . Who’d have thunk it . I’m sure it’s hard hitting and not fawningly sycophantic at all ...

You might be on to something.

In the trailer Prince Charles looks as if he's doing an impression of Rowley Birkin.

Roobarb & Custard? Now you're talking proper anarchy! I revisited a few episodes recently, for nostalgic reasons, and it is wonderfully nuts. Every frame wobbles.

The other, also wonderful, side of the coin was the Firmin/Postgate productions, which never lazily assumed that children had the attention span of a Donald Trump.
