yeah, listings mag had 'hold on tight' with robin asquith. poster was a pastiche of 'on the buses' and was 5/6. this week's is 5/5 and next week's is a repeat of mr king.

enjoyed the quiz show episode. not expecting any of them to be funny tbh, don't see it as a comedy series.

quiz show totally threw me. i started watching wondering if it was what it was, but Lee Mack and the contestants played it so straight (except for the older woman) and there was nothing funny, I initially switched it off.

i think the whole 'buses' posters/promo pics was part of the quiz show wind up i.e. so the announcer sounded genuine re it not being shown, so here's a new quiz show instead.

oh, that's a good idea, one that went right over my head.
(and it's borne out by the internal bbc database which doesn't list it, just 6 episodes and one clip
although oddly this image is called "Hold On Tight"

series 3 of LoG is on That's TV (Freeview ch65) at the moment. i guess I saw it at the time but not since. bloke and his kid in an improvised Knight Rider car fighting crime? Spit and Polish. it has that confusing but at the end where all 6 episodes culminate in the same scene, but you've no idea what's going on for the first couple.
it's daily, and continues into season 4, which i'm not sure i even knew existed.

Think S4 was the one they did years later, about 5 years or so ago xp

the episode guides talk about the town being bulldozed for a new road, and that rings a bell.
series 3 feels a bit o_O in 2024

I remember really liking S3 at the time. I liked the dark / experimental way it was morphing into more of a 'Tales of the Unexpected' type affair, rather than going for the more obvious laughs - something they'd continue with Inside No 9. I don't know how I'd feel about it now, it's been ages since I saw it and the comedic landscape's changed considerably since then. The Christmas Special will always be my fave

Not very funny is my memory of it.

I find the whole show borderline unwatchable now, despite loving it at the time. Always lukewarm on stuff past S2 though.

series 4 started last night and it's obviously going to be 6 episodes of throwbacks to previous characters before they literally bulldoze over it all.

Geoff Tibbs going to London to become a stand-up comedian is a great episode.
