The Mock Turtle

I’ve got the pottery throw down recorded, I can’t wait to watch it.

The replacement presenter is the actress who plays the headmistress in Derry Girls, and was on the Derry Girls edition of GBBO as a contestant. She was great value and very dry in that, I think I will enjoy her in the Throwdown.

It’s genuinely made my week.

Epp, which VPN are you using please?

I absolutely LOVED Schitts Creek. I am bereft that I have no more to watch.

Same here. I didn’t like it at first either, the first couple of episodes are not that great, but then it just got better and better and in the end I loved it so much.

I kept putting off watching the last episode because I didn't want it to be over

Moira Rose and her many outfits.

I had no idea it was the last episode when I watched it!

Same! It made me cry loads, all the time. So happy making.

I love when the big judge guy on The Great Pottery Throwdown starts crying.

Schitt’s Creek took me three tries to get into, which was so disappointing because I love Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy, but I’m really glad my sister bossed me into trying it a third time.

I’ve switched to Surfshark and it seems to be working well :touchwood: I really hope I haven’t jinxed it!

Escape to the Chateau is next. There are the odd episodes I catch on PBS here, but now I see there’s at least 4 series I’ve definitely got some catching up to do.

Schitt’s Creek is truly wonderful and I binged it over the summer. I struggled with the first couple of episodes too but after that was a full convert. I might revisit actually.

Junior Bake Off is this weeks post-homeschooling treat viewing.

We're probably very late to the party - but Mr P and I are loving working our way through the past seasons of Taskmaster - just ridiculous but so funny. We're on the series with Hugh Dennis and Noel Fielding now (and I've developed a bit of a crush on Noel :shame: )

Is that good then Flora? Im drawn to it because I really fancy Greg Davies.

I always want to call it The Great Pottery Smackdown.

Schitt's Creek took a bit of getting used to, it's makes me cringe at times but starting to enjoy it noe. I am a big fan of Friday Night Dinner and Emily in Paris was a nice easy watch.

It's brilliant. We've not watched a dud series yet.

Thanks! I think I will copy you and work my way through them.

I tried Schitts Creek but gave up after a couple of episodes. Looks like I should try again.

Sky, I started Heartbreak High again. The acting is pretty bad. Plus I realised Drazic wasn’t in it until later seasons, and he is really the prime reason to go back for a rewatch.

Wasn’t Drazic supposed to be the main heartthrob after they killed off Nick? I loaded watching that show but it was a bit Hollyoaksesque.

Can I recommend Episodes, currently on Netflix? There’s a good 5 seasons worth of shows and it’s proper laugh out loud funny. I can’t stand Friends but Matt Le Blanc is fabulous in it, as is Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan. I watched it twice last year, it’s simply fantastic

That is really good!

Yes! Episodes is SO good.

Episodes is very funny!
