2025-04-02 10:16:55 +0000 UTCYes. I had completely forgotten about it until I saw your clip. Now I want to watch it again.

2025-03-26 03:58:39 +0000 UTCAlso, the retroactive callout in the intro was funny as hell. Lol.
Peter Wood
2025-03-25 18:05:54 +0000 UTCWell, he reacted to the Ricky Gervais radio show, so why not. What do you think about my suggestion that he watches "Lead Balloon."
Bruce Bowden
2025-03-25 17:57:27 +0000 UTCAh, awesome. I'll get on it.

2025-03-25 15:29:11 +0000 UTCThat Reaction is on here. It's in the Movie Reactions collection page.
Brian Moran
2025-03-25 03:51:16 +0000 UTCAfter this, it might be worth checking out The Death of Stalin, if you haven't already. Also by Armando Iannucci

2025-03-22 17:12:41 +0000 UTCThe Brian Cox line was more than likely in reference to the the scientist as opposed to the actor, seeing as they were talking about space. It was the space Brain Cox who originally inspired the character of Philomena Cunk. If this is one of your favourites just wait until you watch it again. The dialogue is so densely packed you’ll find you probably missed so much he first time round. It’s immensely rewatchable.

2025-03-22 08:24:52 +0000 UTCPoor robin. She’s the nicest one there, not a mean streak in her body, she shouldn’t be in politics.
Geraint Harrison
2025-03-21 20:15:52 +0000 UTCDidn't you watch the Intro? His files were labelled wrong, so the last one he watched was the enquiry. 12th of March.
Joe Thornhill
2025-03-21 20:07:30 +0000 UTCYou laugh a bit like Ricky Gervais in this reaction. Not a criticism :)
Rebecca Musson
2025-03-21 14:52:44 +0000 UTCI've not found KB's reaction to the 'Enquiry' episode. Have I missed it somewhere?
Paul Casey
2025-03-21 05:05:39 +0000 UTCHey, King Boomer. If you like the incoming labour leader in this show you'll love "Lead Balloon" where he appears in almost every episode. featuring Jack Dee, Tony Gardner and Raquel Cassidy. Here's a clip. https://youtu.be/r8riymr8cMM?si=x7mxH71qKTr77Ldv
Bruce Bowden
2025-03-21 02:22:27 +0000 UTCthis show for does for British politicians what the Inbetweeners does for been a British teenage lad
Craig McCulloch
2025-03-21 02:05:06 +0000 UTCJohn Finnemore could write a shopping list and it would be a comedy masterpiece.
Alex West
2025-03-21 02:00:52 +0000 UTCDont think its on the cards at the moment but BELIEVE me requests matter here! I know he likes the clips he has seen.... so the more people request better the chance.... But please dont spam
Craig McCulloch
2025-03-21 01:41:45 +0000 UTCAre you an aussie in hospital - or in hospital in Australia ? hope your ok ...erm happy birthday mate .🤷♂️
Craig McCulloch
2025-03-21 01:34:24 +0000 UTCIt's a shame, because there's so much great radio comedy out there that I think deserves to have people react to. I mean, there are reaction channels that react to music, aren't there?! Some of the best Mitchell and Webb is only on radio, for example.
Will
2025-03-21 01:24:10 +0000 UTCHave to admit Mannion for me is my favourite character, his deadpan comments crease me up. Takes something to better Tucker as a character.
John McHugh
2025-03-20 22:51:23 +0000 UTCHe's already seen the inquiry episode, so it's just the finale to go now.
Joel Oates
2025-03-20 22:43:36 +0000 UTCMannion is my favourite character. I really relate with his couldn’t give a fuck attitude towards politics
Sam Holbrook
2025-03-20 22:14:28 +0000 UTCYou’re gonna love Yes Minister if you decide to stick with the political theme after this finishes.
Julian T
2025-03-20 21:30:46 +0000 UTCPeter Mansion is a leged, Roger Allam is a very good actor he is up there with Tucker
Dave L
2025-03-20 21:24:44 +0000 UTCPeter Mannion's exasperation with the BS is very relatable.
emu cat
2025-03-20 20:09:09 +0000 UTCA little off topic but if you like Manion you should check out Cabin Pressure, just about my favourite sitcom. It also has Benedict Cumberbatch. It's radio, so maybe not ideal for a reaction channel. https://youtu.be/2T1r2Y5RHkA?si=0nzxqxo6NdCK9ZiA
Stephen Morris
2025-03-20 19:09:26 +0000 UTCSorry for your troubles Sam. Get better soon! And Happy Birthday!
Brian Moran
2025-03-20 18:42:41 +0000 UTCThere are two more to go....
Paul Casey
2025-03-20 18:40:59 +0000 UTCYeah this episode and this season Mannion is better than Tucker, but comedy is subjective i just find him funnier but the character of Tucker himself and the way things pan out is absolute brilliance
J
2025-03-20 18:25:07 +0000 UTCPersonally I would absolutely put Mannion up there with Tucker, they're both immensely entertaining, but for different reasons. So, in my opinion you're not wrong. I'll be sad too when you've finished the series, it's been a fantastic re-watch for me, and I love that you enjoy this so much.
Phil Robinson
2025-03-20 17:24:03 +0000 UTCOh no, hope you feel better soon 👍

2025-03-20 16:57:44 +0000 UTCManion quickly became my fave character in the show!
Dave Williams
2025-03-20 16:45:40 +0000 UTCHope you're ok!
Kevin Liversage
2025-03-20 16:42:00 +0000 UTCSat in hospital in Australia at 3am on my birthday right now. this will pass the time nicely
