Comments

jjw

I think it’s Jonathan Creek’s time! Hopefully at least

QadenJames

With Not going out, you could possibly split the show in half. It’s basically a whole different show after series 7 and the consensus seams to be the series after that aren’t nearly as good. But Ghosts gets my vote!

Craig

Praying for Still Game 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 but wouldn't mind a run of My Family actually 💙

John

Ive never actually watched it but i don't mind alan davies is it a drama?

John

I second that my family is great fun! I voted for my family, allo allo, misfits, cuckoo and what we do in the shadows

jjw

It’s a murder mystery drama but with some comedic undertones

Nomad

Still game is a must. I think you'll love the humor once you get used to the accent.

jjw

I like my family but is it really worth taking up a day for over 2 years for? It wouldn’t finish until September 2025

Andy Luke

Ooooh Brittas Empire. Colin's depraved hand! Bring it!

Ian Richards

John (and anyone else who's never seen Jonathan Creek); it's a drama series about seemingly "impossible" mysteries, like murders committed inside locked rooms, with Alan Davies as the geeky magician's assistant who solves them with Sherlock-like logic and deduction. But there are strong comedy elements in most episodes too, as it was written by the creator of One Foot In The Grave. Do give it a vote, it deserves its time to shine.

Craig

Not sure, personally rooting for Still Game as I've never known any american reactor not to fall in love with it the way Josh did with Only Fools and Horses

Josh B

Come on Still Game!

Mark

Ooo dads army!

Georgia

The new season (8) of Inside No 9 is out, in case you wanted a REALLY short watch 😅

MJ87

Yea, would be good to do those, maybe add to the next short show poll when it comes up Josh.

Craig

Cannot believe it's currently being outvoted by Ghosts, borderline criminal eh 😭

Austyn Shaw

Hope to see fresh meat win

arny

where's Man Down?

Danny

Its on the short show poll. These are long shows

Danny

A lot on this list is like reading the channel guide for UK Gold 💀👴

Chris

Down to the dregs of British sit coms now. The Good Life is a classic and the best one on there obviously IMO. Rising Damp would be pretty shocking to watch nowadays with all the racism etc.

Craig

Surely you haven't seen Still Game if you think it's in the "dregs" of british sitcoms. It's easily held in as high a regard in Scotland and elsewhere as Only Fools and Horses is in England, the only reason it isn't a household name is because the original run was only broadcast on BBC Scotland

arny

thanks Danny. I never understood why we have either long or short polls/shows. what's the point?

Rob Walters

STEPTOE AND SON !!! i really need all these "John Sullivan was a genius" mongs, to realise where he nicked all his ideas from ....the true genius writers, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, who are the actual creators of the funniest/saddest sitcom ever written.

Ash Jeffries

Jonathan Creek would be perfect! Brilliantly written by David Renwick who gave us One Foot in the Grave, superb plots that would be super fun for Josh to unravel, it's really funny too, and it stars Caroline Quentin who I know Josh loved as Dorothy in Men Behaving Badly. A fair few guest stars Josh will recognise too! It has almost won a couple of times! Come on Jonathan Creek! 🙏

Dylan Harris

Steptoe and son and Misfits are the best ones on there jn my opinion

Dylan Harris

Also I would like to request a series called 'On the buses'. Its a great British comedy 😀

Michael

I'd love Fresh Meat 🙏🙏🙏

Georgia

COME ON MISFITS!!!

Chris

Seen it. Poor imo

Chris

Auf Wiedersehen Pet for a long show would be great. Detectorists too. The former is written by the guys who wrote porridge

Saul

The Good Life? ffs

Nathan

Can someone fill me in on why fresh meat is so popular? I tried watching it a while back and my first impressions were nothing special at all didn’t watch on.

Saul

WWDITS or Fresh Meat would be a good fit here.

mrtheevilmage

wait Jonothan Creek was only 35 episodes I had it my head that it had like?...at least 200 episodes....Then again I made that same mistake with Porridge thinking there was 60 epiodes when it turns out it clearly wasn't.

mrtheevilmage

voted on wwdits cause Matt Berry :p

Saul

Guy’s a genius But everyone in WWDITS is brilliant. The cast is so, so strong

David Lyons

Because if five long shows win we'd be locked in for years with no change in the schedule. Having a separate short show poll adds some variety, if you don't like the shows currently being reacted to, at least different ones will be voted in before too long. (Good example being Darkplace, cult classic but probably wouldn't have beaten all of the long shows in a poll.)

David Lyons

My theory is Inbetweeners fans who needed their fix after it finished watched it and became fans. (FM aired one year later.) Perfectly serviceable comedy, some laughs, some cringe, some jokes fall flat. Just...ok overall. (IMHO)

Karl Compton

Got my fingers crossed for Jonathan Creek

Nathan

yeah that would make sense cheers, I’ve just always thought it’s too overrated.

Mark McKeown

I wish there were 200 lol. 26 eps over 5 series, and then 6 specials, 32 total.

Mark McKeown

Ive watched it 3 times, it's enjoyable, and somewhat comforting background tv upon further watches

Mark McKeown

Josh when does this poll end, as there doesn't seem to be a timer on it? Thanks

SynphamyMusic

Same, Still Game is great, some of the accents might be too much though. I've seen reactors love it, and others that couldn't tell a word they were saying in the show... Especially Isa lol

jjw

Begging for more votes for Jonathan Creek!

Tez

I usually vote for 3/4 things but JC is my only vote this time. Don't think I'd watch him react to any of the others.

Danny

Usually around Friday morning/afternoon. Or if it was a poll for another day, likewise with that day

Ash Jeffries

I swear it's destined to come 2nd for eternity! :(

Lily

still game benidorm and brittas empire are fantastic

arny

thanks David that makes sense now.

James Machin

We need This Time with Alan Partridge

Mark McKeown

If anyone voted for a show that has no chance of winning, plz vote for Jonathan Creek :')

Danny

Id like to see that, as it's something different to the usual choices of comedy shows and its been on the polls since day 1, it always comes close but falls at the last hurdle

Danny

That'd be a short show

Michaela

Just voted for Jonathan Creek… so now it’s winning by just TWO VOTES! 😲 Realllly hope it wins this time! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Michaela

Haha yes the guest stars! I wonder if Josh will recognise Shelford 😂

Ash Jeffries

Honestly, Josh, if the poll finishes with just 1 vote in it, I think you should choose the show which most appeals to you! 😇 I also note how much more vocal the Jonathan Creek fans are in the comments! 😛 Really do think that should count as a few extra votes as we REALLY want our show to win, and I do think you will genuinely love it, and it'll be fantastically different for the channel! Just sayin'. 😉😇🙏

Saul

Hope you’re joking ash(about the bit saying votes for Jonathan creek should count tor more)

Saul

Depressing

Saul

Can I say I respectfully but vehemently disagree

Saul

Can I say, in defence of What We Do In The Shadows, and as some balance to the support for JC - WWDITS is a wonderful show, light and funny, with brilliant performances throughout. There are werewolf vs vampire fights, ghost lovers, genies, giant trolls, gargoyles, demon chases through toy shops, vampire crossfit, cursed hats.... It would be a worthy winner. Also...it has Matt Berry! Douglas from IT Crowd if you don't know. And the rest of the cast is just peerlessly great. It's one of the best casts in any comedy I've ever seen.

Colin Bayley

Why is matt Berry the new god? The last one was Steve Coogan before that it was log. Are we now going to have his whole catalog in succession? With a few bootlegs of him eating his lunch somewhere shot through a Bush? Do you only listen to one band at a time and wait to you've heard everything they have recorded before moving on? A bit of variety is not a bad thing. It broadens the mind and opens you to new experiences. It also stops what you like becoming stale.

Saul

Why such an aggressive reply? There are many comments supporting Jonathan Creek here - there is one even saying that it should get voted in because there are lots of comments about it. and that that should count extra in terms of votes. I added some balance to the comment section that’s all. Think about how you feel reading my comment - now consider the possibility that I and lots of other people might feel the same way reading all the comments about Jonathan Creek.

Colin Bayley

Sorry. I didn't mean it to be aggressive. It just a trend I've noticed in these polls over the months. Which I truly don't understand. I like a variety of things of different genre's and also some rubbish. I'm just not keen on the same thing over and over which a lot of these trends result in.

Saul

I’m pretty sure wwdits isn’t going to win so it’s irrelevant anyway. I like Matt berry so I haven’t felt like he’s over represented but I suppose if you’re not a fan it feels different.

jjw

I think it makes sense. people join cos they like a show and then they vote in the next poll and vote for other stuff they like, which often has the same actors etc.

Steve Read

There's a few gooduns on here, but Rhod Gilberts Work Experience is funny and I haven't seen it a million times.

VEGGIE GAMER

Yeah I love that show and it would be great to see him react to it!

Saul

@jason - Yeah agreed. Also, it’s not like Matt berry’s even in anything much rn. He’s not even in boosh every episode. Plus, he’s fucking brilliant, who cares if he is. It’s not like I’ll be moaning about Caroline Quentin being in everything if Jonathan creek gets in.

Michaela

Holy cow JC is drawing! 🙈

Kieran

I had voted for Fresh Meat, but after seeing the tie decided to put in my vote for Jonathan Creek. I watched the show when it originally aired and loved it, no idea if I'll still think it's good 20 (?) years later.

Dave P

Please not JC

Colin Bayley

Why such an aggressive stance? Matt Berry is very good at playing matt Berry. Robert Deniro is not shitting himself because matt Berry has burst onto the scene.

Stephen Prince

Jonathan Creek, please no... As entertaining as watching paint dry.

Dave P

Only show im watching the reaction to is thick of it currently, shame

Dave P

Agree, theres a lack of good shows on reaction now

Dave P

Yeah jonathan creek was terrible man

Saul

I really don’t know why you’re being so pissy about this Colin. No one said Matt berry is the equivalent of Robert deniro. You just sound cross that someone dared recommend a show you’re not enthused about.

Michaela

It’s a tie! What happens now? 😲 (Also, damn whoever voted for WWDITS at the last second! 😣)

Alex P

Jonathan Creek definitely is good - certainly the first few series. Though some of the latter specials were a bit lacklustre.

VEGGIE GAMER

In all seriousness, it would be an absolute joy to see you react to Jonathan Creek! It is a really fun, engaging and hilarious show with an awesome 'mystery of the week' that I am sure you will appreciate! Would be so good to get this on the weekly watch list!

Colin Bayley

I like wwdits. I just don't want to see it on here now. I want something different to what's already running. Thursday and Saturday are quite simular and a matt Berry comedy will make 3 shows of the same style. Taskmaster is like income tax because they make 20 episodes a year so you have to go January to May before you start reducing the overall numbers. I hunger for different.

Jack Morgan

No chance of winning, you say? 😉

Jack Morgan

So we have a draw. Does this mean you'll watch both 😅? Unlikely, but it would be amazing because they're both such great shows!

Michaela

I’d like to think that he would choose Jonathan Creek, as it’s been coming second in the polls for months! Only seems fair that it has its turn now 😁🤞🏼🤞🏼

David Lyons

Didn't realise it would be this close so I undid my vote for Shadows...

Michaela

The poll is closed though? Or do you mean earlier?

Michaela

Jonathan Creek was definitely ahead by one point when it was midnight (UK time)! Then I refreshed the page at 12:03 and the poll was closed and suddenly WWDITS had another vote!

Ian Richards

In my experience, Josh usually closes the poll at either 10 or 11, and JC was comfortably in the lead (by about 5 or 6 votes) during that period. It was only a sudden glut of late votes after 11 that made it close at all.

Duncan

We shall await the mystery reveal then,who would have thought that a poll on a patreon page would have been such a stressful ordeal 😅

Saul

I don’t care. Stop nagging me for voting differently. I’ve not said anything critical of Jonathan creek, so have the decency to accept a different vote without being such a giant pain in the arse about it. The vote will shake out how it will.

HB

12 episodes isn't that short

Colin Bayley

I haven't mentioned Jonathan Creek for 3 polls myself. I just don't understand the love you have for matt Berry. He's OK. But to elevate him to a reason to watch something is baffling.

Saul

I find the idea of you being enthused about a show like Jonathan Creek baffling too. But I haven't droned on about it for five replies now. Let it go, you're being really fucking annoying.

Colin Bayley

You had the last word. Waited awhile. Then went at it again. Naughty.

Saul

Wtf are you talking about “waited a while”? I went to bed Maybe you think you’re so magnetic I should’ve stayed up all night replying to your increasingly douchey points, but normal people sleep at the end of the day Have you actually got a point anymore, by the way?

Colin Bayley

I was referring to your answer to Jason. I think you'll find the only one banging on about JC is you. There are several shows I would prefer to wwdits this time round. My original point was how a princess Diana like obsession springs up on here for different individuals seemingly overnight. The world doesn't revolve around you it goes round the sun.

Saul

That’s a no then.

Colin Bayley

The point is in the sentence I use the word point.

Saul

I asked you if you have a point 'anymore'. I know what you originally wrote. You've whined about Matt Berry for god knows how many replies now. I got your point. Everyone got it. Monks in the himalayas got it. So what is your point now? Why are you still replying in this thread? Why am I still getting notifications? D'you think I'm going to change my vote or something? You're like the last guy at the fucking party, still dancing when the music's stopped. Go home, you're making me lose the will to live.

Colin Bayley

I carry on because you are unable to walk away. It's not in your nature. If you don't reply to this you will return to it at some point. It fascinates me.

Saul

So you admit you have no point at all anymore; you’re just a common, slightly thick troll with a neurotic inability to let an argument go. Okay, that sounds like a reasonable stopping point. It took a while but at least I know you’re just a twat. For a while there I actually took you seriously. Have a nice day Colin. Go out and touch some grass.

Colin Bayley

Because its all about you and your insecurity isn't it Saul. I made a general comment about a behavioral trend I noticed and you immediately took it as some sort of attack. Then spent the next hour walking around with your thumb up your arse seething about it. Couldn't let it go could ya. All you have to do to stop me replying is to leave it now. But your incapable of that aren't you.
