Georgia

COME ON MISFITS!! 🕺🙌

VEGGIE GAMER

Here before the "ANYTHING BUT JONATHAN CREEK" gang drop!

James Brown

Thanks for adding Ideal to the list! Got my vote, hopefully one day we can get there, haven’t watched it in atleast a decade, would make a fun one!

Ash Jeffries

Jonathan Creek has come in very close second place a few times now so I really hope it wins finally and deservedly this time! 🙏

Sam

Johnny Vegas as a drug dealer is such a great idea for a sitcom. It reminds me of when I was at university and went to pick up some weed for myself and a housemate. The dealer was a huge, sketchy, north African called Sharif. I gave him the money and he just sat down and watched the TV so I asked where the weed was. He said 'It's on it's way'. I had to sit in his flat/shipping container for over an hour waiting for the weed while a cast of characters I had no desire to mingle with popped in to buy everything but weed. Nightmare.

QadenJames

I've probably said it before, but Not Going Out is almost 2 different shows. Idk if it would make the poll less daunting, but the show kinda ends after 7 series, and the rest are more like a sequel/spin-off.

Zoë

ab fab pleaseeee 🙏🏼

Jack Morgan

I wish it was the Japan special because he would have LOVED it, but I guess it's time to move on 🤣

Ed

Yea it's a shame

BR90s

I agree!

BR90s

Please can misfits win! Josh would love the themes of it and it very different from everything else.

Danny

Id like Jonathan Creek. Only thing id really watch. I know Josh would definitely like Misfits though. atleast those take 30 something weeks to watch compared to the complete drags that would take over a year

Michael

Thought Ted Lasso would have more votes, amazing show! Would love Fresh Meat though, Josh will love it

Dave P

Aww no big in japan to end the run

Scott

Could you add Life on Mars and its sequel series Ashes to Ashes to a future poll? (40 Episodes total) The sequel series continues & finishes the story so it might be worth doing both series together. Glad to see Still Game get so close, should hopefully win the vote in the next few polls!

James Brown

Oh does that mean that there’s not going to be a Thursday upload? I was hoping that this meant we would be getting the Japan special! I think he would have loved it too, awesome end to the show and super silly!

James Brown

😭 I wonder if he realises it’s the true final episode of the show because it’s got a seperate name?

James Brown

If you see this Josh, please could you squeeze in People Just Do Nothing Big In Japan for us? It’s the actual final episode of the show, so doesn’t feel right to move on without it! A really nice wrap up to the series! I was really looking forward to it and there’ll probably not be another opportunity! 🙏

Balkyne

Remember he's doing the polls an extra week in advance now I think. At least that was his plan

Dave P

But the new one will start next week and no vid today, assume iys just not happening, real shame only 2 shows im remotely interested in coming up, unfort only WWDITS is only decent one the now

Dave P

100% agree

Kieran B

Gah I suggested Fresh Meat so long ago but would love to see Jonathan Creek this time round as I suggested that too 😂 they’ll all get their time at least (except My Family, the first three series are okay but good god it dragged on so long even the actors hated it)

L M

come on fresh meat!

Chris

Meh... Apart from ideal ( which is a bit of an underrated gem) this is getting to the dregs of British comedy.

Chris

Need to add Detectorists and Auf Wiedersehen Pet

James Brown

I’m for Detectorists too, although that’s only 21 episodes I believe so not a Thursday vote.

John

I second Auf Wiedersehen Pet he may need subtitles to understand a geordie accent though a lot of people from the south have bother with it never mind anyone from the US

John

I agree hed love it cause its very sci fi esque

John

Plus robert sheehan is funny as fuck

John

Yeah i must agree Josh if you see this. Even if it doesnt win you would love misfits and it only gets better as it goes on

John

Oh shit. I had forgotten about the movie. Good point!

John

Just unsub if you dont like much hes watching you can always cancel and resub at anytime you know?

Dave P

This will happen from time to time its ok John

Kieran B

Strongly second this, Ashes to Ashes was on the polls before but didn’t do well without Life on Mars understandably

Kieran B

Absolutely Detectorists should be on the short poll

Kurt G

Maybe in your opinion and actually kind of in mine too, but some of these shows could be the peak for others. all im saying is just because you dont love the list doesnt mean you should sit and mope about it.

Chris

Sit and mope? Jesus... Not sure what your day to day is like but I can quote confidently say that the options on this poll not being to my taste hasn' rendered me unable to get on with my life.

Pkirby422

'Outnumbered' would be the one solid one that I can see on this list personally. Although the pacing and subject matter won't suit everyone.

ThatsChill Tssk

I love Johnathan Creek but it's completely wrong for this channel. It's not a laugh-out-loud show, it would be a nightmare trying to edit the reaction for youtube.

Danny

Neither is Black Mirror and he did that. He did a bunch of serious movies to

Kieran B

Neither was the Royle Family and Josh clearly enjoyed that

Lz Bristol

As there's no This Country, I've gone for Ideal - classic 👌

Kate

Ab Fab or Keeping up Appearances!!

PoPaDoMZz

Love Misfits but going to have to go for Fresh Meat

Nathan

Wow people really like fresh meat that much?

L M

that's right

Josh

I am once again voting for Still Game!

BigChanChan

I tried the first episode and hated it lol but I'll give it a go again here if it wins, for a few episodes anyway.

Ash Jeffries

Jonathan Creek is destined to come second place until the end of time. I honestly wouldn't mind if it were only ever getting a few votes and several other shows were clearly more popular but they're not. The fact that it actually drew first place on one poll and a second poll was created to which it lost makes it even more painful. 🙃

Colin Bayley

If you want to see for yourself why fans of Jonathan Creek want it so much. Its on Drama 10pm Sundays.

Saul

Problem with Outnumbered is those kids age as the show progresses. It's not a pretty sight, Cute and very funny at first; but eventually hideous gangly puberty mutants.

Ash Jeffries

Is this in reply to my post above? I've seen it in its entirety about 15 times and want it to win. I don't mind if it loses *properly* because no one is interested or people just prefer the other shows on the poll. I just hate it repeatedly coming in second place. So many want it, but second place every time! Aggravating! 🙈

Colin Bayley

Not particularly. I did post something simular earlier but deleted it by mistake. I got the days mixed up and when I checked if it was on tonight and it wasn't I removed it. I thought today was Sunday. A few people have said they have not seen it at all. So I thought it would give people a chance to check it out.

Ash Jeffries

Fair enough! They absolutely should check it out! 🙏

Colin Bayley

I probably worded it better last time. I was just checking the post's and saw yours and it reminded I hadn't put it back up again.

mwdoom

Can you add 15 Storeys High (Sean Locke comedy) to the next poll please - its 2 series/12 episodes and stars Benedict Wong

Martin N

I concur Ideal was ace. I'd add Rising Damp, The New Statesman and The Detectives to your list, but the ones polling high right are definitely 'Meh.'

Martin N

Has 15 Storeys High ever been in a poll? It's great. Sean Lock and Benedict Wong are fantastic in it.

Chris

Not sure how rising damp plays in these more enlightened times. To put it bluntly it's overtly racist. And before anyone uses the "woke" card... Racism is racism and just because it's an old show doesn't make it acceptable now.

Scott

Still no… gimme gimme gimme on the list ..

Martin N

The writers of Rising Damp weren't supporting Rigsby's views, they were ridiculing them.

Michaela

I knooow 😭 I’m so desperate for it to win, especially after the last time! Would be great viewing for the autumn too!

Colin Bayley

Agree with Chris. The racism in Rising Damp is done pretty straight with no innuendo. It's the racism itself that's the point of the humour. This does retreat as the show enters the 2nd series and apart from the move away it does have some comedic value. But it can't move on from its start.

Jake Francis

its been on it before, probably didnt get enough votes to make a return

Chris

There isn't that nuance unfortunately Martin. It's straight up racism and it's that which is supposed to get the laughs. Not the audience siding with Philip against Rigby in an " isn't he awful" kind of way.

VEGGIE GAMER

Would love to see you eventually react to Detectives, but probably specific episodes (As there are a couple of dud episodes, but I guess most shows have that). It is definitely a VERY underrated show though! You will love Rhod Gilbert's work exprience though! :)

mwdoom

keep it keep it keep it haha
