The Mock Turtle

Sugar Rush is a competitive dessert programme. I really like it, and Schitt's Creek is great too.

Unfortunately you have to pay extra for it. Such a shame, it deserves a wider audience.

Thanks, that's annoying.

Re-runs of Escape to the Chateau DIY are my current choice of soothing media.

Also old Fresh Prince of Bel Air still cheer me up.

The whole lot is now on iPlayer (in case that’s not where you’ve been watching it!).

Escape to the chateau is great. I love Pottery throw down too.

That makes more sense than everyone suddenly raving about a 15-year old teen drama.

Another vote for Schitt’s Creek . David and his monochrome jumpers .

I really didn't like Schitt's Creek and loved the lesbian Sugar Rush.

The first two series of Home and Away and Heartbreak High are on somewhere (Prime and Netflix I think) and I watched the pilot of H&A the other night. The acting is more atrocious than I remembered

I might try Silicon Valley. I found it on Sky Comedy for anyone with a Sky package.

I tried to watch Schitt's Creek but gave up after two episodes. Maybe I should revisit it.

I hated it at first, but stuck with it and fell in love with them all. Moira's wigs! It's good viewing for lockdown.

I hated the first few episodes, I’ve no idea why I stuck with it but it gets a lot better. I’ve just finished S3 and it’s just wonderful. I’m at that stage where I feel like all the characters are real people and I’m going to miss them so much when it’s over.

I loved the later series of Heartbreak High! Drazic

For Schitt's Creek, I engaged more with the kids at first and used to cringe through / fast forward the awkward stuff with the parents and their engagements with the townsfolk*, but I came to warm to them too, from the second series on.

*I've never been a fan of cringe TV with characters that behave like a car crash so I didn't get into The Office or Alan Partridge either.

I used to love Heartbreak High! They all seemed so cool.

I love this. Plus, I've just discovered the Real Housewives of Various Places and I cannot get enough.

That's good to know, I love this! Except when Keith wears dungarees with no shirt on.

I'm revisiting some old episodes of Catfish, and only watching the ones where it turns out to be someone hilariously inappropriate.

It (the pottery thing) is even better than before as the guy who used to put the pots in the kilns is now a judge!

He is rather dishy*. I will bump episode 1 up my priority watching list.

*pun intended.

Oh, has he replaced someone? Is Mel still presenting?

No, Siobhán McSweeney is the new host. She’s lovely and funny.

Oh! I like Mel and don't like change so that doesn't bode well. I'll still give it a whirl though, what else is there to do?
