so watched the Macho Man/Miss Elizabeth episode of Dark Side of the Ring last night. The Macho Man is probably my 2nd favourite wrestler ever. Great fucking episode. Everyone doing Randy's voice as they tell another story about how insane he was.
I think his problem ( well as a performer, his personality was clearly fucked ) was he existed at exactly the same time as Hogan did so got overshadowed.
Macho Man was so much better in the ring though. Hogans matches were all the same. Get beaten, Get Hulkamania and come back, no sell the moves, swing into the ropes, big boot, leg drop ( seriously that was such a shit finisher ) and pin. Yawn.

started S2 of the IT Crowd, and in the 1st ep, there was about 5 minutes which was probably the funniest thing I have seen in a very long time, I was actually crying with laughter!
Was the one where Roy pretended he was disabled!!

Reminded me of 'The man with two legs' episode of Coupling, which also happens to be S2E1.
That series also had some great moments (while Jeff was in it) -

Coupling is the best sitcom ever, I often quote the pillow rant at home.
Watching it on Red-Red days in the Falklands in The Goose bar, drinking John Smiths with all the ATC lovelies - awesome!
It is quite re-watchable too. The funny moments are so good that you enjoy the anticipation of them. We have the whole series on DVD from back in the day and pre-streaming days it used to be a regular watch when there was nothing on terrestial TV

I think the target audience is pretty broad, but it isn't turning into a teen-fest unlike some other series I've started.

@nta yeah wife wasnt that keen to watch it, but our list of watching was a bit bare, but she enjoyed it too.
Been a wet and windy weekend here, so smashed S2 of Love, Death and Robots, some good eps, some not.
THe animation is outstanding though!!

Was it Smack the Pony (skit comedy show) where the blonde one from Coupling got mostly naked (boobies at least) on occasion?

Snow In The Desert was pretty fucking good.
Not sure where all the "Strong Nudity" was supposed to be unless they meant a naked giant.

Before We Die
Flying very much under the radar in the UK
Really well written and acted crime drama set in and around Bristol. Always good to see these type of shows set outside of London or Manchester.
Halfway through and it's racing along.

Yeah we have it on our list but already seen the Swedish one!

Watched an ep called Time, which is a BBC one with Sean Bean, a teacher who gets sent to prison for killing someone.
3 eps, bit of a slower one after ep one, but still engaging.

It's good, if bleak. Typical quality Jimmy McGovern* stuff. He certainly doesn't shy away from stuff. An engaging watch.
Very accurate on the inside stuff apparently and quite an eye opener to see how far behind modern practices the UK penal system is.*Cracker, The Lakes, Hillsborough....
:::
Only thing that spoiled it for me was the premise used for the inmates to threaten the prison officer. That would have been well covered of as a security threat when his son went to prison.
