Title: Doc Martin
Post by: Diane CBPFC on October 17, 2011, 03:02:12 AM

I am halfway through season 2 and one episode behind in season 5 - (having difficulty with a slow internet connection or I would have watched up to the end of season 4 by now).

Anyway this is one of the best TV shows I have seen in ages! I thought we should have a Doc Martin appreciation thread. Because the laughter is not canned you have to listen for the subtle humour. "Just a little prick" and "life goes one...except for Mrs Pratt obviously".  ;D ;D ;D

Are there any other British shows as good as this one made in the past 10 - 20 years that I could now catch up on with the internet?

This is a difficult one, Diane. My grandchildren swear by 'Shameless', but I can't stand it!

How do you 'accidentally open' a Christmas present and watch it for hours? NOW what are going to do on Christmas Day - re-wrap the present and pretend it's all a complete surprise? (You know you'll be on Santa's 'naughty' list!)

Hi all, been dead busy me!

There is a great sit com, now in its 5th series.  A BBC production. "Not going out." stars Lee Mack a Northern comedian and Tim Vine another really good stand up who specialises in one liners...

Miranda Hart features in the early years as a cleaner. (Who went on to do her own sit com, which was also quite good, "Miranda")

Rapid gags, adult humour ish, but no swearing. I have to say it is may favourite at the moment, they are running repeats on comedy central and Dave channels, well worth a look. Even my wife likes it.

Apart from that I think we are lacking good telly humour...
