I cannot recommend 'Good Night Sweetheart' with Nicolas Lyndhurst enough. Brilliant time travel comedy.
Smiffy
2025-04-14 23:46:31 +0000 UTCNever watched this when it came out and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to your Luther reaction.

2025-04-08 17:34:47 +0000 UTCBoomer might know/have seen the American version

2025-04-05 23:22:43 +0000 UTCAnd it was someone ex-Benidorm she killed
Graeme Robertson
2025-04-05 23:17:09 +0000 UTCAnd Del & Rodney's mum is currently a main character with 10 years worth of story there. Character is much the same TBH apart from the alcoholism and manslaughter 😉
Graeme Robertson
2025-04-05 23:15:53 +0000 UTCI think Phil Daniels plays Grandad in the OFAH musical (since taken over by Paul Whitehouse)
Graeme Robertson
2025-04-05 23:11:29 +0000 UTCI hadn't seen this since it came out. It's much better than I remember.

2025-03-31 09:27:26 +0000 UTComgggg I didn't realise you'd reacted to this!!

2025-03-21 11:21:52 +0000 UTCGood this, i dismissed it when it came out for some reason.

2025-03-20 15:44:46 +0000 UTCHappy Valley or Line of Duty 🤞
Aaron Close
2025-03-19 18:54:53 +0000 UTCThis Is England the tv series is amongst *the best* drama the UK has ever produced. Very hard hitting at times, also touching, tragic but sometimes very funny. The entire cast is superb but one of the leads, Joe Gilgun (from Brassic) is especially good.
Jason Scade
2025-03-19 02:47:45 +0000 UTC+1 for 'I, Claudius'. It's the best (historical) drama ever made about Ancient Rome and its players. Brian Blessed as Augustus. John Hurt as Caligula. Derek Jacobi as Claudius. Patrick Stewart as Sejanus. Many more.
Jason Scade
2025-03-19 02:41:06 +0000 UTCIt's really good to see you appreciate this stuff.

2025-03-18 22:02:52 +0000 UTCHES DOING IT
Geraint Harrison
2025-03-14 19:48:01 +0000 UTCI remember watching this for the first time with my mother who had been around London in the 60s. Her only complaint in terms of accuracy was that the streets weren't 'dirty' enough.
L Thrift
2025-03-14 19:35:07 +0000 UTCA more self serious pr quel to a sitcom. This basically did the same tphing as 'Yoing Sheldon' but a decade earlier.
L Thrift
2025-03-14 16:21:36 +0000 UTCI'm taking a (educated?) guess here and I don't expect you to confirm or deny it, either way, but the drama series you're thinking of doing or definitely going to do is, I reckon, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with Alec Guinness. If so it's an absolute better of a series. All tension and atmosphere. Intelligent too.
Yaapsdad
2025-03-13 23:09:26 +0000 UTCThe music was what dad would have listened to...as del said early on the American sailors would bring them over to sell... same in lLiverpool..that's why it became a big music city
Paul Liversage
2025-03-13 19:58:28 +0000 UTCAh-thank yao. But how the hell can you tell? Just by the number plate?
Joe Thornhill
2025-03-11 20:57:30 +0000 UTCLuther🤞
Jason Bonner
2025-03-11 12:46:01 +0000 UTCYeah I personally think they did the best they could with the casting I don't think it would have ever been an exact match
Tom Millard
2025-03-10 18:33:43 +0000 UTCIf you want a drama show, shameless UK is a comedy drama. Really funny at times with some really hard hitting stuff. Well worth a watch
Michael May
2025-03-10 16:11:50 +0000 UTCThat would be awesome!
Neal Murdoch
2025-03-10 16:06:28 +0000 UTCThe Tube started 1863. Civil war mate. I liked this also.
Kiwi Tau
2025-03-10 14:59:24 +0000 UTCSo glad you enjoyed it. You’re definitely in the OFAH club now 👍
Ominous
2025-03-10 14:21:33 +0000 UTCWatched this being filmed in Greenwich. Their school is on my road in Royal Hill. The pub they used for Nags Head in this the Pelton Arms where loads of bands like Swueeze played free warm up gigs. Amazing pub
makadeni123
2025-03-10 11:13:00 +0000 UTCDenzils accent was really thick in this- must have mellowed out over the years. I kept looking at Nic Lyndhurst and thinking he'd start acting like Rodney and say something dumb at some point haha. The line "Joani I was 1 digit away from cracking the Bank of England so a key on a bit of string ain't gonna hold me back for long is it?" def had Rodney vibes to it though
Jehan Ariyaratnam
2025-03-10 10:17:54 +0000 UTCGreat to see these finally reacted to!! So underrated in my opinion. Lots of easter eggs in them to OFAH as well if you know it well enough...Denzil's idea of getting a van, younger versions of Aunt Renee from The Frog's Legacy, Clayton from the exploding dolls episode, and Albie Littlewood, the "bestest friend in the world" of Del's who gets killed crossing the train tracks to meet Del Boy's girlfriend, and lots more! The Slater walking the plank in the park is a direct reference to the first episode he is in where he nicks them for stealing a microwave. Also his friend Jumbo Mills in this is the guy who comes back from Australia to try and get Del to move out there to be his business partner in his car dealership.
Rich Jones
2025-03-10 08:15:08 +0000 UTCIts a mark 9
Tim Salt (Tim Salt Writes)
2025-03-10 08:10:29 +0000 UTCWatched this before it was pretty good
Tim Salt (Tim Salt Writes)
2025-03-10 08:07:30 +0000 UTCAh ok, I must have remembered him mentioning it.
Julian T
2025-03-10 07:36:48 +0000 UTCThe interesting thing about this time period in comparison to the Only Fools era, is that new Council high rise flats were highly sought after. Britain was still dealing with the effects of WW2, so most normal houses in many areas of Britain were run down and in disrepair, with many still having an "outside" toilet (as referenced in the episode), and different generations of family all having to live under one roof. Britain was still rationing food until the mid 50's, and there were still remnants of bombed out sites during the early 60's. So anyone able to get a brand new council property was very lucky. During the Only Fools and Horses period of the 70's/80's, the high rise council flats had become run down and dirty, looked ugly and were surrounded by a large amount of crime. So unlike the 60's they were considered the worst places to live.
Jay
2025-03-10 05:07:41 +0000 UTCPlease, someone tell me just what Jag that is. I've narrowed it down to marks 6 to 9.
Joe Thornhill
2025-03-10 01:54:57 +0000 UTCNah, sorry. He said ha while back that he tried it. Want to love it. But just didn't.
Joe Thornhill
2025-03-10 01:53:27 +0000 UTCAye! Wasn't expecting this. But also, it's been a long wait. The next drama's gonna be 'I Claudius', isn't it? I just know it, lol.
Joe Thornhill
2025-03-10 00:07:17 +0000 UTCKB, there's more Del Boy in the next episode. Just to fill you in Del's mate Jumbo was the chap who emigrated to Australia and later offered Del a partnership. Albie Littlewood, the good-looking lad who likes pills, we discovered was the one who went off with Del's girlfriend June behind Del's back in the episode where he thought June's daughter Debbie was his whilst Rodney was trying to get intimate with her. We never saw Albie later on , he was just mentioned by name.
Fordy7169
2025-03-09 23:47:02 +0000 UTCI thinks it was difficult to find younger versions of Boycie, Trigger and Slater as John Challis, Roger Lloyd-Pack and Jim Broadbent have, let's say, facial looks full of character.
Fordy7169
2025-03-09 23:39:27 +0000 UTCLOL. No no no it's got be Coronation Street's 10,000+ episodes.
Fordy7169
2025-03-09 23:36:36 +0000 UTCSo glad you finally did this, it's brilliant. Nick Lyndhurst is great in it, really seems like a totally different person. Given that you did the movie way back I wonder if you'll react to the series for This is England. That's brilliant too.
hfdzongkha
2025-03-09 23:34:47 +0000 UTCIf you haven't seen 'em already, American Graffiti (1973), That'll Be The Day (1973) and The Wanderers (1979) are all films that are absolutely stuffed with great music from the 50s and 60s. The Wanderers in particular would be a good candidate for a reaction vid watch too I think. As for a great British drama to watch? Prime Suspect (1991). Nuff Said.
Tony Stephens
2025-03-09 23:19:17 +0000 UTCIt was a lot better than I remember, it was from around 2010, perhaps I was too used to seeing James Buckley as Jay because, at the time, I felt it was badly miscast, but watching it now, I think he did a good job. And there were more subtle funny moments in there than I remember.
Gary Tamblyn
2025-03-09 23:17:35 +0000 UTCIt’s gonna be Peaky Blinders, I just had a premonition.
Julian T
2025-03-09 23:08:55 +0000 UTCI don’t know what the drama will be. The Night Manager would be an amazing choice. Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston, Tom Hollander, Olivia Colman. I’m wondering if it’s going to be Luther. That would be a great watch. Line of Duty is also great.
Julian T
2025-03-09 23:05:10 +0000 UTCI hope the 'new' drama is Cracker. Think you'd love it.
John H
2025-03-09 22:47:32 +0000 UTCThis was really good, I’ve never seen it before
Julian T
2025-03-09 22:45:31 +0000 UTCthis is far better than green green grass for me
Aidan McGarrigle
2025-03-09 22:04:19 +0000 UTCI think i know the drama show Boomer wants to do next, it’s gotta be Eastenders! 7000+ episodes of top notch drama
James Ellison
2025-03-09 20:23:02 +0000 UTCThe drama show reaction sounds interesting... I'm putting my money on Happy Valley. One of the best thrillers in recent years
antlermagick
2025-03-09 20:16:55 +0000 UTCHappy belated birthday to your dad. Great reaction. Loved it. Thanks KB.
ThetaSigmaTheOriginal
2025-03-09 20:07:22 +0000 UTCIt was instant
Jamie
2025-03-09 20:06:44 +0000 UTCSo excited for this :) you mentioned your dad would like this type of show. There’s a really funny show called Cradle To The Grave that’s set in the 60s and stars Peter Kay you would find it hilarious and it’s only 1 season :)
Ryan Mitchell
2025-03-09 19:33:19 +0000 UTCI feel like you and QB watching 'Broadchurch' would make for some compelling reactions - I'm oversimplifying it as they are quite different shows, but think 'True Detective set In the south coast of England'
ryung246
2025-03-09 17:59:46 +0000 UTCahhh the 'Tube' KB, so the first line (most in the early years were independent train companies, that eventually formed as one) but the first was a line from I believe Farringdon to Paddington/ Baker Street, in the 1860's! This line is now the Metropolitan Line. The earliest lines and stations they used a 'cut and cover' method where they literally dug huge trenches wide and deep, build the railway and then covered it over, this was method for lots of stations on what are now the Metropolitan, District, Hammersmith & City and Circle lines. From then on though loads of it was built a long time ago now if you just search on google London Underground maps by years you get a good idea of how big it was and how it grew, but yet lots of it was there even as far back as 1900., with the Northern, Piccadilly and Central lines I believe, so there was even Stations used as shelters from zeppelin raids in World War One, not just the Second World War! The newest underground lines are the Jubilee and Victoria Line, from the 60's onwards. The Elizabeth line dunno if technically a LUL line but is the newest (cross rail). Little fact for you also I think its about only 40-45% of the London Underground is actually underground, as so many stations on the outskirts of London, the lines run out all the way in to Balham, Wimbledon, Watford, Essex/ Hertfordshire, etc. If you want to be bored further KB, or have any questions 🤣 let me know & I'll tell ya about my job that is linked to that world haha, not putting it out on here though!
Dave L
2025-03-09 17:52:16 +0000 UTCKind of makes me wonder if it was seen through to its intended end, would we have seen Freddie sit on that detonator...?
David Lyons
2025-03-09 17:41:50 +0000 UTCYeah, has a lovely heartwarming nostalgia about it. 😊♥️
Martyn Dawson
2025-03-09 17:36:42 +0000 UTCI love Goodnight Sweetheart! It's not really funny as such, but a lovely watch 👌🏻
Beccy
2025-03-09 17:35:43 +0000 UTCI think the guy who plays young Boycie looks like John Challis' Boycie (RIP)
Beccy
2025-03-09 17:34:47 +0000 UTCYup, he'll love it.
Martyn Dawson
2025-03-09 17:31:30 +0000 UTCThis was awesome. 😊 ..I bought the boxset of this last month. You will LOVE Goodnight Sweetheart btw 👌🏼
Martyn Dawson
2025-03-09 17:30:56 +0000 UTCI'M SO EXCITED 💖💖💖
Beccy
2025-03-09 17:23:49 +0000 UTCWow, fantastic that you're doing this! Very unexpected. Three episodes, yes, sadly unfinished due to the writer John Sullivan's death, but as it's a prequel you can obviously fill in the gaps. I was never sure about Lyndhurst's casting as Freddie, but Buckley as Del was a good choice. Love the soundtrack on this too.
Joshua
2025-03-09 17:02:57 +0000 UTCOn casting, I think Grandad was a good choice too
Ryan Lynch
2025-03-09 16:32:32 +0000 UTCIf you're planning to start watching dramas KB, you might look into Life on Mars. It's about a UK police detective sent back in time from the 2000s to the 70s. I really think you'd enjoy it.

2025-03-09 16:01:22 +0000 UTCThis is a wonderful Sunday afternoon surprise
Little Jimmy
2025-03-09 15:57:29 +0000 UTCFantastic choice - Like you said, its only 3 episodes and whilst maybe it isn't quite as good, it's a great accompaniment to OFAH and well worth a watch in its own right. When it comes to the drama that you mentioned I'm predicting / hoping it's 'SAS: Rogue heroes' which depicts the formation and early missions of the sas during ww2 - There's plenty of others you would enjoy too though, so it will be interesting to see your choice!
ryung246
2025-03-09 15:18:38 +0000 UTCWas wondering the other day if you’d watch this soon, brilliant
Kieran B
2025-03-09 15:14:36 +0000 UTCThis is a interesting surprise. And maybe i need to give it another go. Because I never particularly enjoyed it seemed to removed from the original show for me. I much prefer the green green grass which feels like a authentic spin-off. If certainly not as remotely to the level of only fools.
Daniel
2025-03-09 15:14:09 +0000 UTCDamn, doing a double shift today so won't see this until tomorrow as too late when I get home 😅😅

2025-03-09 15:07:11 +0000 UTCAfter this you should give Goodnight Sweetheart a go 😊
