Colin from Accounts new series!

The fact that the main characters are married in real life adds another element to it!

I like to think I've got a reasonably good sense of humour but I watched an episode and found it supremely unfunny. Not shocking or insulting or offensive, just not funny. I would have thought the priority when writing a comedy would be that the writers would need to be witty. The acting was good, especially some of the facial expressions, but the script...? Nah.

We're only just catching up and watched two episodes last night.

I'm laughing out loud at the awkward situations but my husband is sitting stony-faced because he just doesn't enjoy it at all!

I love the fact that Colin doesn’t know how to act and so his back legs walk as well as his fronts, and he obviously refuses - like any self respecting dog - to walk with the wheels unless being led by the lead.

Terriers are such endearing stubborn little chaps.

I loved it when the second "Colin" arrived.

I enjoy it very much. Watching Season 3 right now. It’s strange, because I don’t normally like shows about chaotic lifestyles and young love isn’t really my thing.

Persevere though. The characters are very likeable

Thanks Aveline I can try it and switch off if it is not my cup of tea.

Maybee70, why are you going to lose iplayer?

My tv is old. I haven’t been able to get ITV X for ages, then couldn’t get Ch4 catchup but could just about manage without those ( I can watch stuff on my iPad) but not iplayer which I watch with my partner. I inherited it from my son I suppose it was time to buy a new one but I’m not one for replacing something that’s still working if I can help it.

It might not be your cup of tea though...

Am I the only person who has never heard of it? Which channel is it on please?

BridgetPark thank you and all the others who suggested Fisk.

I love Colin from Accounts and have just started watching Fisk which certainly is very funny. I like all the characters.

Those two are masters of creating and acting awkward situations. So funny and believable.
I liked the ending too.

The last in the series is a delight.

I watch her on Facebook sometimes. Kitty Flanagan is hilarious!

I saw Fisk doing standup last year in Australia. She was hilarious.

I'm really enjoying series 3. More so than the last one. The characters are great and so well acted.
I was going to suggest Fisk too but see that's already been mentioned. The Aussies seem good at this sort of programme

If you love Colin from Accounts, give Fisk a try, its brilliantly written, and very funny.

Loved it and binge watched the new/last series. The married couple in the leads and writers are really good as well as the other quirky characters. For some reason I thought I had read somewhere how it ended so was all primed for my reaction at the end. Hilariously I was wrong so the ending was not as expected (no spoilers from me).

Maybee70, why are you going to lose iplayer?

I couldn’t get on with the series. Even though it’s a dramedies I kept thinking of the practicalities of caring for a paralysed dog when living in an apartment. I need to give it another go, though and look beyond that. I’ve just discovered a comedy series on BBC iplayer called The Chief which I’m finding very funny and there’s another series called Crashing which I’d never heard of before. I’m going to lose iplayer off my tv soon and I’ll be lost until I replace it.

I totally love this series, and watched the first one of the new series last night. I laughed so much, it is so well written and all the nuances are just sublime. I also think it is quite relatable, and I really hope this is not the last series. It is good comedy at its best, in my opinion. Got to love the BBC for showing it, also.

It's not a comedy it's just a light drama.

Apologies, wrong spelling, it's Patrick Brammall. Loved him in an earlier drama, Offspring, sadly no longer available on Netflix. He's also just about to star in a new thriller with Maxine Peake on Apple TV, which sadly, we don't subscribe to!
