Which series or all of them?

posted on 23/3/22

Oz is brilliant and definitely one to watch more than once. Characters are absolutely superb

Band of brothers I can enjoy going back to aswell

I really enjoy my nature documentaries aswell -particularly David Attenborough ones - and can watch them over and over again even though I’ve seen them many times before

Comedies are easier I think. I can watch OFAH, Fawlty Towers, Porridge, Phoenix Nights etc over and over.

As for Dramas I can watch Life on Mars, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, X Files time and again.

Comedy wise i can genuinely watch the Office all the way through once a year. Greatest comedy ever

Yes. That's one I can go back to as well. I've watched Frasier umpteen times come to think of it.

All

However my favourite series is 2 and the episode potato with a brilliant performance by Tom Baker as captain rum. YouTube Edmund hires a boat.

My favourite moment though is from the final episode in series one when Edmund gets his gang of cutthroats together to overthrow the king and there's a scene done like a spaghetti western with music to the show and the pictures of the gang appearing on the screen

Never fails to make me laugh.

Obviously the final episode is brilliant and poignant considering it's a comedy

The X-Files is very rewatchable. And with that show I particularly notice that I recognise actors I didn’t back when I first saw it, because I’ll have seen them in something else since.

Last spring I rewatched a lot of Twin Peaks and finally got round to the third season.

Frasier

X files is very good. Loses its way in later seasons but the ‘monster of the week’ formula in the early seasons was πŸ”₯

Still prefer 3 and 4. Just brilliant. I can never get bored of them.

I’ve started watching X-Files on Disney+ and it’s grate.

To answer the OP Only Fools is the obvious.

I used to watch Vicar of Dibley on gold as a hangover show

Got a soft spot for it still

Blackadder 2 is easily the best.

There were some amazing episodes. I remember loving the one where the little girl was the reincarnation of a murdered cop or something. And ‘Home’, the episode with the Peacock family in season 4, was legendary.

I like the Third most

Goes Forth is well written but its not so significantly better than 2 & 3 like some claim

Father Ted, and Black Books, thanks for the nudge

I finally watched HBO’s Chernobyl about three weeks ago - and promptly rewatched it a couple of times, so that counts!

Absolutely spellbinding. The performances are superb.
