Troy or Scott?
Scott is classic but personally I prefer Troy.

I just got back from 2 weeks in London (leaf here) and how the fuck do you brits afford anything? The prices of everything were the same or more vs Canada, but in pounds. And my friend there makes a paltry salary (like 60k pounds) as a software dev. I don't think he can save anything for retirement.

>>211376612
That's London for you. Other places are less expensive.

>>211376612
Some parts of London are expensive, the cheaper parts are very liveable.

>>211376930
This doesn’t address the fact that bong salaries are disturbingly low, to the point that 100k would actually be considered an impressive achievement. How can anyone build a life in a country like that?

>>211377035
The pound is a more valuable currency than the dollar, and a 100k salary is extremely livable in whichever country you're talking about, stop posturing

>>211377035
Yeah we have shitty salaries. Partly due to Brexit (but retards will never admit that) leading to low investment, low economic output, and wage stagnation.

>>211377142
We've grown faster than Germany or France since Brexit. Its hasnt been that much of an issue.

Nothin’ personnel, kid

Did geezers back in the day seriously find Little Britain funny?

>>211377141
Of course 100k is a decent livable salary. The problem is that it’s way out of reach for most bongs in a way that it just isn’t for people in the US, Australia, etc. and I am taking exchange differences into account.

One funny thing I heard about recently about London was how they now have a bunch of scammy "American Candy" stores, which are totally a crime front. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D8sAt-EiKg
I'm american so I just find this funny

>>211379140
Those are everywhere. Basically everything on British high street that isn't a Greggs is some kind of scam or weird money laundering scheme or some ngo grant thing.

>>211379163
Yeah that's funny, but also quite sad. I mean in america we question how there are so many mattress stores but that's about it. This is like that on steroids.

>>211377546
>takes me right back to the 00s
funny, because it's based on programs from the 70s

>>211374698
I've been binging these on YouTube lately.

>>211376612
London is a notoriously overexpensive shithole

I know this gets memed to hell and back but for real, why are the british so blown out and ugly looking? It's not a fucking joke. I thought maybe they had some culture where theatre people are traditionally ugly but after visiting I learned that no, like anywhere else they tend to cast above average looking people in tv shows. What happened brit bros?

>Errol ringing up Argos to ask about a Snoopy phone
>Mark Lamarr as the violent mime artist "And this time love it will be custodial"
>Peter Serifinowicz as a seedy boyband manager "Chestnuts"
>JESUS CHRIST man with his Asian bride

anyone remember that show where the kids would "build" that small robot that would have a battle with the other teams robot, and the kids were shouting etc at them to battle despite the bots just being CGI and thus they were shouting at nothing?

>>211381443
First few seasons were great. underated

I've been watching the Fast Show again lately, it's really fucking funny and the format is great, most sketch shows drag on to long after the joke but it just cuts perfectly to the next sketch. Every character is iconic.

>>211377313
They'd need to come up with a reason for them all hanging out again. The fact that they were still friends by the time of the second movie was pretty unrealistic.

Could definitely be funny though. I think it needs to be Neil having about six kids by three different mothers, Simon recently divorced with one kid who doesn't respect him, Jay in a bizarrely happy marriage with a normal down to earth wife and two kids, and then Will engaged to an absolute bitch who he suspects is just with him for money, and fuming about how much better things have turned out for Jay than him.

Throughout the movie have Jay giving really heartfelt, nice advice to the guys on how to get a marriage like his, only for it to come out that his entire relationship with his wife is based on a massive amount of lies he's told her.

A lot of them are fronts for the brown hordes to either sell drugs, import their friends on a work visa as they have a chance of "legitimate employment" or both.

The one near me has been raided 4 times in the last 6 months and the very next day there's a new paki in there selling drugs to the local smackheads. I don't get why they don't just go in every couple of days or have an officer just sat there waiting till a smackhead walks in. surely eventually they'll have to come up with a different scam

At least a mattress store sells something that doesn't rot, costs thousands and is replaced fairly often. They sell one and they're done for the day so at least they can actually function as a store. Noone is actually going into the fake candy stores and paying £5 for a hershey bar

sex

>>211381593
Was that the one where it was people made up a CGI character and it was kind of like gladiators? I can't remember the name of it, but I think there was a PS2 game as well

>>211375305
>from the constant harassment
Anon it was one interview where was asked if he'd do the episode differently if he was writing the show today. He said yeah, it was a different time, everyone shrugged their shoulders and then he went home and started seething and went batshit insane on his own.

I was following him on twitter at the time. There was no constant harassment because he wasn't high profile enough to draw in people who remembered an IT Show episode. He got more shit for his campaigning for abortion rights in Ireland, the thing he was most focused on before that interview. I'm pretty sure he just needed something to focus on after his goal was achieved in Ireland and picked trannies on a whim and then completely lost it. He has no one to blame for his descent into thinking about trannies 24/7 but himself.

>>211373151 (OP)
not british but me and my sis used to watch this shit back in the early 00s swedistan don't think i liked it very much, don't remember it very well

Good times. Jameela Jamil was also a presenter for a while I think.

You now remember The Kevin Bishop Show, starring Karen Gillan mostly as Sex Object or Weird Yellowface Sex Object In Bad Allo Allo Parodies.

IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE A DOCUMENTARY

remember finding out years later the contestents weren't playing against the game AI, it was the devs controlling the enemy army and trying to keep it as close to the historical known actions of the battle as possible. unless one of the contestants was really unlikable and annoying, then they'd just say fuck this guy and steamroll them, topkek.

Does this count? It was the only teen drama show I ever watched because having it set in the post-apocalypse made me actually care about teenage pregnancies and bulimia and shit. Also the hairstyles and makeup made all the girls look hot. And Lex.

Gooning to Tracey Beaker in the morning, and QVC in the evening, simple as.

>>211377333
I thought it was funny when I was a kid but looking back it was literally just the same jokes every week, it's quite shocking how they got away with being that lazy for multiple seasons

That was it. Honestly I remember it looking a lot less shit than that, but I guess it was 2003 and had to be run live as a game so they could actually display it on a screen for the audience to cheer at

I think I remember us watching it and pissing off my mum because she normally watched exactly what she wanted all the time and noone else got a look in unless it was something we were excited to watch, so I have memories of her huffing and calling it shit and they should put eastenders on instead while I was an 8 year old glued to the screen because people playing essentially a video game on TV was new to me

I've been watching Hollyoaks lately and its been abysmal, moreso than it usually ever was

There's a woman that sold children into sex slavery and trafficking and she gets a redemption arc because women can't do anything wrong

I ask this in every British nostalgia thread, and nobody ever remembers what I'm talking about. This would have been early 2000's, maybe as late as 2005. It was on CITV. There were these animated segments between shows where children would call in, and in real time, they would play a game by pressing buttons on their phone while the hosts, represented by very simple cartoons with moving mouths, would talk with them. It was a game where you had to launch a cow as far as possible, and the host was a girl called heavy betty or nutty natty or something like that, and that's what I can't remember, specifically what this little bit was and who the girl was. I'm strongly sure it was CITV but it could have been CBBC.

Is that fit blonde one still in it?

>>211389682
There's loads of blondes but fit is debateable, the cast seem to have an oily sheen to them because of the fucking awful studio lighting so their makeup often runs.

>>211389661
I've been making my way through Hollyoaks bit by bit, starting with the 2014 series and fucking hell by 2017 it has declined into absolute shit.

Hector did nothing wrong.

>>211388815
This was a decent show i remember watching it as a teenager

>>211385108
Honestly Primeval feels like the perfect example of the problem modern Jurassic Park has fallen into as well. Sure the big twist in the first season was that the portals could also pull shit from the future, but it became far too reliant on their more OC donut steele monsters for the big stakes instead of real dinos.
Now Jurassic Park's having to try and make new special dinos to be the big stakes shit instead of focusing on the real dinos.

>>211389898
>>211389661
Ste started out as part of the teenage pregnancy arc. He got his girlfriend pregnant and she had a baby.

Later on though he became gay and became part of the middle class gay people do stuff arc.

Then even later on he became "unwittingly Tommy Robinson" in an arc. He got attacked by immigrants and this group used him as their new speaker/figurehead. Then he got embroiled in a bomb plot as one member of the group tried to put a bomb in the muslim family's home that blew up.

But none of that compares with the guy who had the incel arc. He had a literal physical folder with memes in it! Because some boomer writer confused what folder meant.

I require more Toast!

>>211389544
It was Sugar Rush! I forget if they ever fucked but I know the lesbian did get a gf at a point. I remember the plotline when she caught crabs off her crush because they shared a bed.

>>211390748
Ste is a perfect example of how soap operas, over time, destroy characters purposefully and vindictively just to milk more melodrama. Another favorite example of mine is Nico Blake, who was just kind of a troublemaker and instead became a poisoning mastermind multi-murderer in about six weeks.

Or hell, great example is the Donovan brothers; they were introduced as just himbos who opened a salon and had a sketchy older sister, then it turned out Adam had a missing fiance, then it turned out Jesse fucked said fiance, and Liam dealt drugs with her, and then she wasn't really missing at all!

Twin Peaks's INVITATION TO LOVE doesn't even come close.

>>211390773
>because they shared a bed.
Oh yeah, THAT'S how it happened.

>>211390801
I just love the messy attempts at making Hollyoaks an issues show. Whenever they have tried to do plots involving racism, trans stuff etc it has fallen flat. Hollyoaks is on par with fucking Doctors in the soap pecking order. They really went from the young person soap opera to desperate pandering weirdness.

Weird how Nathalie Emmanuel made her start in Hollyoaks as Sasha Valentine and now does fucking Fast and Furios movies. Her older brother in the show played by Ricky Whittle also made the move and starred in the CW The 100 show. The other Valentine was Devon Anderson who also starred in Kerching (another CBBC 2000s show) but he got booted off of Hollyoaks because he was suspected of rape

Have you been watching the Hollyoaks After Dark/Later shit when they tried to sex it up?

>>211390962
>>Have you been watching the Hollyoaks After Dark/Later shit when they tried to sex it up?
I haven't but I watched it like 15 years ago when it aired. It was unbelievably shit.

>>211390750
This is a nostalgia thread. That's a brand new show.

>>211389715
The bimbo one. Always wearing blowjob lipstick.

>>211391009
Oh grandpa...

>>211390962
Roxanne McKee, another Hollyoaks girl, played Daenerys hand maid in season 1/2. That casting director had Hollyoaks fetish.

He paved the road so that 90's could walk.

Something about women that are slightly ugly is more attractive than when they're models.

China is literally dying. It has a fertility rate worse than any Western country at one birth per woman. Projections say their population will drop by a billion people.

>>211391067
She's not in it anymore I don't think

>>211391276
>muh population size determines health of nation
found the indian

>>211391276
That's the European rate without immigration. I'd prefer having to deal with an aging population than a complete breakdown of society.

Japan's birth rate has so far manifested itself as higher wages and cheaper houses, the standard of living is actually increasing.
Of course, because the arbitrary meme value of "GDP" is going down it must be some huge crisis.

>>211390801
Doesn't Ste have aids? Is the actor sick to death of wearing tracksuits for the past 15+ years?

>>211390962
They had a tranny kid recently who tries to top herself constantly, so at least they got that part right.

>>211374482
>Merlin
I watched this entire series every night on TV waiting for it to get good just for it to never happen and then have a retarded ending.

>>211381811
>The fact that they were still friends by the time of the second movie was pretty unrealistic.
I'm in my 30s and my closest friends are still all people I was friends with in high school.

>>211391457
>waiting for it to get good
sounds pretty retarded of you, anon

>>211388815
>>211388886
Misfits is really strange, because people talk about the cast getting worse as the reason they stopped watching it, but the actual writing gets really fucking awful. It has the vibe of a show that started off with a good writer with a vision who left and got replaced by shitty writers, but no, it's the same guy all the way through - it's like over the course of the show he completely forgot how to actually write. Even basic, fundamental parts of the show, like the powers being related to the characters' personalities (nice writing, but also makes it much easier to incorporate the powers into the arcs), were completely abandoned in favour of fucking shite.

Bizarre.

>>211391715
I've never been one of the people blaming the cast because I've always loved Joe Gilgun. It was 100% the writing that got worse. Wasn't it all due to the dude only having the whole Barry arc planned out and then they threw money at him to continue the show, forcing him to make stuff up on the spot and so it made less and less sense?

>>211373151 (OP)

>>211391833
I've a feeling they'll do another one unless Kay dies

>>211391833
Peter Kay basically killed this show, it would be huge on streaming, it's genuinely the best british sitcom in decades

It was a better time

>>211391906
He's an absolute shit.

>>211391906
why did he kill it

>>211393514
the story is he stopped the re-runs/streaming/dvd releases because he has to share writing credits with Dave Spikey and Neil Fitzmaurice

>>211385725

imagine the debates on who counts as fit though, I've seen the things people on here simp for

>>211373151 (OP)
check out the demographics of the UK from 2000 and now
you absolute retards have allowed your country to go from the ultimate colonizer to a colony of Pakistan

>>211394061
Most regional comedies are just saying unfunny things in a regional accent.

>>211378653
I like how Collin was on probation, then got sent to the wall in GOT. Then Stemroach goes on to kill the Starks at the red wedding.

>>211394082
No I mean legitimately.
All women under 30 are allowed. Zero men.
>birth rate crisis solved
>incel problem solved
>no terrorism (who ever heard of female terrorists?)
>vastly increased assimilation (women rarely care about their nation)

>let me tell you about your country
no one asked and you don't know

>>211394245
>>211394155
He's right but wrong about when it happened.
Pakistanis came here to Britain after WW2.

>>211379140
we don't even have these in America, must be fronts for Blackrock to gobble up your prime real estate

>>211379140
Basically the British high street is mostly dead because of Amazon so people set up businesses to avoid paying tax or launder criminal gains and then close and reopen such businesses over and over again.

>>211391906
oh no now i'll have to watch it without paying a subscription fee!! nooo!!!!

>>211387265
>gameshow to win a date with a tranny
Freakshow TV at its best. I'd have accepted the date at the end just to get a nice meal and a cruise, they didn't have to shag the tranny.

>Watching Dani's House in the vain hope of catching a glimpse of Dani Harmer's big boobs bouncing around
I was so dumb back then.

There is something magical about 90s Britain, especially outside London.

>Merlin
I remember loving S1, because Merlin and Morgana actress had undeniable chemistry and I wanted them to bang, but then Morgana left the Camelot and show went to shit for me.

>>211381811
You should genuinely pitch that.

>>211382682
I think Will should be in a well-paying job but terrified of getting replaced by AI.
>oh brilliant, my fiance is going to leave me for skynet

I think being a teacher would suit Simon better. Definitely teaching some bullshit class he has no interest in like media studies. Could see him getting bullied by his students all the time and flipping out. They do some very minor prank and he completely loses it
>why the FUCK do you always FUCKING pick on ME?!
>WHAT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY ABOUT PICKING ON ME!!!

Then one of the girls in his class could start stalking him while he's getting divorced and he's too oblivious to notice. She's sending him videos of herself doing sexy tiktok dances and he's like
>oh, she wants to start a career in media

>>211377643
>What was the point of this movie
Cool Cymru
>why didn't they have Welsh accents if it was set in Cardiff ?
No one in Cardiff has a welsh accent
Class film though

You now remember Bamzooki

Which one are you /tv/? Green peppers or red tomatoes?

>>211396742

Who else remembers staying home from school ill and getting hyped for the Working Lunch intro only for it to be a boring financial programme.

Dunno if you guys can relate but how do you come to terms with and cope with the fact you’ve wasted your lives and distractions and don’t work much now and nostalgia is a bitter pain.

the whole show went to ass after they'd wrapped up the orginal casts arcs, they just didn't know where to go from there, it was pretty much joe gilgun carrying it by himself in the later seasons.

Dunno. Last time I checked it's just shopping channel feeds, casino tv feeds, or just placeholders.

They should bring back closedowns.

They aren't, the proof being that everywhere else Anglos live like Australia, NZ and Canada there's no stereotype of them all being ugly despite having the exact same genes. It's just confirmation bias.

rewatched this just the other week. even got through s3 and most of s4, can't be arsed with any more of it though. it doesn't hold up that well watching it back as a 30 year old in 2025 but for what it was i still loved watching it again because nathan was my hero back then as i was extremely similar to him. looking back we both were twats like everyone said.

>>211398038
alcohol. also work, if you can throw yourself into your job and pick up all the overtime you can and never have enough time to stop and think about how shit everything is, that helps. i'm 36 so when I'm unemployed I start going insane with boredom. seriously though, work and drink, time tested method to barely hold onto your sanity. you don't deserve the hostility from those other anons.
