She sounds Polish, not French or Swiss.

Matthew Mosley
2024-06-08 18:10:40 +0000 UTCCompletely agree. I originally love series' 1-5 and was lukewarm on 6. Looking back, especially watching back here, I only really love series' 1-4 and series 5 was showing signs of decline. 6 will forever be terrible.

2023-12-03 14:09:02 +0000 UTCWorst episode by a country mile. Sally Phillips who I generally love is just irritating throughout here. They definitely went one series too far with the show for me. Most shows do sadly.

2023-12-02 23:17:11 +0000 UTCAfter I posted that comment I watched an episode as I haven't watched any for few a years, I forgot Olivia Coleman was in it too, and absolutely hilarious!

2023-11-08 02:07:50 +0000 UTCI loved Green Wing, it’s full of nut jobs. Mark Heap plays basically the same character and is brilliant. Also features ‘landlord’ from Plebs.

2023-11-07 23:48:18 +0000 UTCYou should try Smack The Pony with Sally Phillips.
Neal Murdoch
2023-11-04 20:42:52 +0000 UTCNot the strongest written episode, but the wonderful Sally Phillips saves it for me - she's brilliant in everything she's in. Love her. And the King and Queen B banter here was top drawer stuff - The "Fatlegs" convo was hiliarious! You two always make my day better.

2023-11-03 12:20:27 +0000 UTCCream tea is controversial, cream or jam first!
James MacDonald
2023-11-03 07:41:51 +0000 UTCSally Phillips is at her absolute best in ‘Veep’ as the Finnish politician, Minna Hakkinen in several episodes

2023-11-03 05:11:19 +0000 UTCCLOTTED cream with a cream tea! (I know it doesn't sound appealing, but trust me you'll understand when you try it)

2023-11-03 01:16:37 +0000 UTCThat's such an underrated show these days, when it was on it was HUGE, but it's not mentioned as much as it should be anymore as it was excellent, they'd both absolutely love this show!
Mark Jones
2023-11-02 23:31:10 +0000 UTCOr both of them at once in Green Wing (though admittedly Sally is far better in Partridge than Green Wing).
Z is for Zed
2023-11-02 22:39:33 +0000 UTCIt's probably been suggested before but I'll put in another good word for Outnumbered, I think you'd both really enjoy that show
Tom Merson
2023-11-02 22:37:38 +0000 UTCYou once said the you and Queen B usually watch dramas together rather than comedies, I'd love to see you reacting to Luther with Idris Elba. That would make a great Patreon series.
Jason Bonner
2023-11-02 21:41:52 +0000 UTCBetty's does the best cream tea. I have enjoyed one in both the York and Harrogate tea rooms.
Colin R
2023-11-02 20:35:01 +0000 UTCI think it would be difficult to get a proper cream tea over there, but if you can find one, definitely try it!
Lee Organ
2023-11-02 20:09:59 +0000 UTCI love the jingle xD

2023-11-02 20:00:21 +0000 UTCI'm with Gibby. Cream tea, when done right, is bloody fantastic! If you do make it to the UK at some point, you have to get one in either a posh hotel or a rustic village tearoom (I prefer the latter, way cheaper, and much nicer people!).
AdamMcAdamface
2023-11-02 19:38:43 +0000 UTCBrilliant! Absolute classic, have you seen life’s too short? it’s ricky Steve and Warwick Davies featuring an episode with Johnny depp and some other funny appearances
Nathan
2023-11-02 19:18:29 +0000 UTCI think theres more chance of me making bread for Brian than QB

2023-11-02 19:07:02 +0000 UTC1 less download lol

2023-11-02 19:00:23 +0000 UTCc'mon boomer you know you wanna let us all see you do the jim dance
tricky D77
2023-11-02 18:37:43 +0000 UTCI think Mark in PS would love Blackadder. So we would be friends 😂. I’d also be friends with Jeremy for the comedy value. I’d be in my element 🙏🏼
Erica
2023-11-02 18:31:57 +0000 UTCI find the humour not really to my taste. So the writing is going to reflect that. I don't mind that others enjoy it though. It's fine to enjoy abd prefer different shows
ThetaSigmaTheOriginal
2023-11-02 17:32:46 +0000 UTCYes I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, was just saying 🤓. The script in PS is genius and there are many subtleties.
Erica
2023-11-02 17:21:30 +0000 UTCSeen it several times over my friend
Brian Moran
2023-11-02 17:13:55 +0000 UTCit's scone, clotted cream and jam
Nathan
2023-11-02 17:12:59 +0000 UTCI use the facilities ...
Mark Wootton
2023-11-02 16:55:55 +0000 UTCIn your opinion. Imo peep show is mid tier.
ThetaSigmaTheOriginal
2023-11-02 16:53:19 +0000 UTCPrefer Peepshow and Man Down than Friday Night Dinner even though there all watchable anyway lol 😆
Luke Fisher
2023-11-02 16:51:27 +0000 UTCplease consider Extras as a replacement show
Nathan
2023-11-02 16:50:15 +0000 UTCIt's subjective, sure. But also peep show is a better written and crafted programme, that said I like fnd.
Nathan
2023-11-02 16:49:11 +0000 UTCVery surprised you liked this one! In my opinion, this is such a low for the series, and arguably the worst episode of the show's run. This whole series is below par, at least to me, but it seems a lot of people seem to like it.
Josh
2023-11-02 16:46:15 +0000 UTCAgreed the movie ain't great and the compilation is ok but its not the funniest of AP as it's titled not even close
Richard Stokes
2023-11-02 16:24:14 +0000 UTCI remember KB did a reaction to a "best of Alan Partridge" compilation, and the pretty sub par movie. He seemed to enjoy both, and did mention that he wanted to check out more in his compilation reaction. I hope he does, because what he's seen was definitely not the best of Partridge by a long stretch. With Spaced though, much as I love it I can never recommend it to American audiences, as there's just way too many UK references and UK nostalgia attached to it. One of those comedies that works best when you can relate.
Jay
2023-11-02 16:14:47 +0000 UTCWith regards to cream tea, like English Breakfast it can't be replicated properly unless you have the local produce. I remember watching a couple of America channels try to replicate English Breakfast and it just looked wrong. Taking cream tea is also about the location as well, as its best eaten in a dusty old English countryside tearoom or a posh hotel.
Jay
2023-11-02 16:03:42 +0000 UTCI told you last week to make a cream tea at home on YouTube, I think now you have to! It's scones which are super easy to make, the Queen will make awesome scones, then you eat them with clotted cream and fruit jam (jelly) and a hot cup of tea, you'll both love it, a cream tea is delicious! You might struggle to find clotted cream though, and clotted cream is totally different to whipped cream.
Mark Jones
2023-11-02 15:49:43 +0000 UTCto to be 14 again?!....
James
2023-11-02 15:31:14 +0000 UTCI hope 'Green Wing' is on your shortlist for future shows, it starred Tamsin Greig who plays the Mum and Mark Heap who plays Jim, Sally Phillips who plays the Au Pair was also in it.
Mark Jones
2023-11-02 15:29:53 +0000 UTCAgreed Spaced and I'm Alan Partridge would be great next shows for King Boomer to react to. I currently only watch his peep show ones so would like some others to watch
Chorlton Outlaw
2023-11-02 15:26:08 +0000 UTCAu Pairs used to be very common, not sure if they still are, it was a way for young women in continental Europe to travel, they were basically nannies but with very light duties, more like live in babysitters really, and the families looking after them would be expected to involve them in family activities and such, like going for dinner or even going to theme parks etc. for the Au Pairs it was part work part holiday, my brother had one who I obviously fell head over heals in love with, I was about 14 so at that age where I fell in love with any slightly older girl who smiled and said hello! 🤣
Mark Jones
2023-11-02 15:23:14 +0000 UTCIt's subjective. We all like different things. I prefer this.
ThetaSigmaTheOriginal
2023-11-02 15:17:13 +0000 UTCTwo very funny actors, you should check out Mark Heap in Spaced playing an insane and pretentious artist and Sally Philips in I'm Alan Partridge, she only has a small role but makes it really funny. Two shows that only have a short run as well
Richard Stokes
2023-11-02 15:16:51 +0000 UTCIt's french where "au" is pronounced "oh" and means "at the" or "with". "Pair" meaning "help" or "assistance" in this context. So "au pair" means "with help". It is used in reference to someone who helps the family and lives-in typically. A cream tea is "tea and scones with jam and clotted cream". Big debate re whether jam goes on the scone first or the cream. Obviously its cream first.
Kiwi Tau
2023-11-02 15:13:42 +0000 UTCIt’s doesn’t touch peep show 😆
Erica
2023-11-02 15:06:08 +0000 UTCThe show's almost over for you guys, which is sad. FND is one of my favourite shows.
