It's the theme from 80s BBC sitcom "Terry and June"

Look Around You would be a great watch for Boomer, series 2 especially.

Yeah sorry, Robert. Robin is his pseudonym for Timewaster Letters

I almost didn't get that Simon's dad was the mirror of Bilbo because the wig and facial hair is just so thick and obviously fake. Especially since he's grey in the Inbetweeners about a decade later.

Ooh, what's that song in Jim's flashback at 6:55?

Of course Bilbo's office door is the TARDIS. How can you not if you're allowed to make it a double door?

The irony in this is that Bill Bailey is Simon Peggs boss then the roles get reversed in Black Books when Simon Pegg becomes Bill Baileys boss in the book store next door.

I'd never noticed him before, took a bit of squinting to see Simon's dad behind the beard!
Also, IMDb tells me that the woman that Tim hugs in the street is Simon Pegg's mother.

We are much more comfortable blending genres in the UK than the US where everything tends to be much more in a box eg comedy, drama etc - so probably best to keep that idea and approach in mind going forward

I’ll never forgive them for that Babylon 5 crack. “GET OUT!!!” Is the correct response

Gah you missed the ‘died in his sleep… on the M4 to Staines’ joke 😂

I don’t think the fork was a Matrix reference, more of a general spoon-bending / Uri Geller thing

Princess Boomer adding spooky sound effects at around the 16 minute mark! I still can’t work out what was part of the show and what was Princess Boomer!

I'm not a massive fan of Hawk The Slayer, but I will always defend Krull to the death.

Anyone saying Hawk the Slayer is rubbish deserves everything they get, i'm with Bilbo on this one.

The guy with one eye played Brynden Tully the 'Blackfish' in Game of Thrones.

And co-wrote with Peter Serafinowicz and produced Peep Show and commissioned Black Books and script-edited The Inbetweeners and The IT Crowd. Busy fella!

Great job spotting Simon's dad, especially from the voice alone 👏🏼
