              @crucial Sanjeev has been bloody good in this. Ms Cato No1 suggested this is because comedians often make good dramatic actors. “He was a comedian”? I replied. “Thought you had to be funny for that”.

                Is that the Sanjev who guest hosts the Kermode and Mayo film show?

                  Sanjeev Bhaskar. Not sure about the film show thing as I haven’t watched it. I find Kermode faintly unwatchable and add Simon Salad-Cream on top and that is a real red flag for me.

                    Yeah, that's the guy.

                    It's a radio show, well podcast for me, I like them.

                      That makes more sense. Mayo would be mariginally more acceptable if you can't see his smirking, punchable, warty face. A face made for radio.

                        Haha, I have no idea what they look like. I like Mayo as he takes the piss out of Kermode when Kermode gets too movie snobbish.

                            He's actually way less movie snobbish than what you'd think - Robbie Collins has that covered when he guests host, often with Sanjeev.

                                The Fassbender Le Mans series on youtube is great, especially the 2nd season. Get to ride a Porsche, get to ride Alicia Vikander, you gotta admire the guy.

                                  Far less subtle than the first two series with some extra silliness but that silliness leads to some lol lines. The support characters get some beauties

                                          Just finished watching John Adam’s...a HELL of a lot of talking and very little action...wouldn’t recommend unless you like Dramas I only stayed until the end as I’d already committed to it.

                                              Nice cameo from Oscar.

                                              Yeah, I know I need to diversify

                                                Worlds most dangerous borders.

                                                Only 4 eps but thought was pretty good!

                                                Reza Pakravan travels west to ea accross Africa in a zone called Sahel.

                                                Was a good watch, dude was even imprisoned in Darfur on his journey.

                                                Also watched Sky Rojas on Netflix.

                                                Subtitled series set in a brothel where many of the girls are there against thier will.

                                                3 kill thier boss and go on the run for freedom.

                                                Bit if a crime-dark-comedy series, enjoyed it.

                                                  Yeah have meandered through 3 seasons and it's a half decent watch, the worst bit about it is how seasoned law professionals and cops are ready to jump head first into the weakest of cases against baddies, but it keeps ya interested despite that.

                                                  Onto the important stuff - there's a hint of tit in one episode. There's your easter egg, go find it.

                                                                    I do like the clever thread of the character that is a 'kid' in the first series being the protagonist in S6.

                                                                        US or UK? I've watched the UK series complete a couple of times but really struggled to get in to the US version

                                                                        US, haven't seen the UK - from what you guys have said, you may as well only watch one or the other, they sound very similar?

                                                                        thats what i felt, watched the first season of the american and enjoyed, check the UK and the first episode was almost a shot for shot remake (i know the UK was first), so we stuck with the US one

                                                                        I’ve watched a decent amount of the UK and all the US. They split after the first season. The US show is just a bit glossier, less gloomy, slightly more fun but they’re both good although I haven’t seen all of the UK due to pre streaming days.

                                                                        There’s no comparison in the hot chicks battle though. US easy.

                                                                          I started the US one, watched a handful and bailed cos they were too similar.

                                                                          I hear similar attitude for The Office?

                                                                          Basically either or?
