Emmie, if you change your mind and decide to try a Ricky Gervais series, 'Extras' is on BBC. Lots of famous faces in every episode. I've just finished watching it. There are three series of, I think, six episodes each and a Christmas special to finish off with.

i'm just saying " But wasn't it nice of Naomi to take the trouble to make a special post to try and interest you" is the kind of thing i'd say to my nine year old when she was 5
PS i think i have read most of the previous convos between you and emmie about RG. Sounds like i missed the one where she asked someone to find her an RG series she could watch.

It could just be the zeal of the convert.

I know you were 'just saying', bednobs. Strange that you object to others saying what they want to and yet you do exactly that. Perhaps you missed more than you think.

could be, after all, no-one can keep up with everything :)
Emmie of course can look after herself, she is a grown woman. I'm not even 100 % sure why you and i are having this convo - it was LB's post i objected to not yours (and i in fact DID say thanks to you, so i'm not sure why we are grumpy with each other :)) i'm not even sure my post was needed (as i said: people including Em can look after themselves if they think they are being patronised i guess!)

Fair enough, bednobs. Thanks for that. Onwards. :o)

Khandro, it's billed as a Comedy/Drama.

I've watched the out-takes several times on Youtube, and still laugh.

I agree with you though, that there are some crude 'jokes' in the script that are not funny. Just as well we don't all share the same sense of humour, I guess.

The thing with the crudeness is that I've experienced that throughout my working life. The office banter, pub banter etc. Its just that it is being portrayed on a TV show and I'm sure many can relate to these situations in real life.

The pub scene in series 2 of Afterlife for example is similar to things I've experienced in the pub on an average Friday night!

I know what you mean, Tiggs. I worked in a male-dominated workplace for several years (now retired). There was plenty of crudeness bandied about and it didn't bother me - I just didn't find most of it funny. The men, on the other hand, thought it was hilarious. :0)
