Fleabag

[Machiavelli]

Anyone watching this?
Saw the first three episodes last night, and was guffawing away.

I've enjoyed it. Gets bleaker.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

I have also seen the first 3 episodes. I quite like it but it is bit dark and possibly the rudest show I have seen on British TV.

 

[Durlston]

I thought this was a thread about dogs having tics that can lead to health problems.

 

[robinsonsgrin]

good show...humour but with a tainted underbelly.... just like NSC!

 

[Mr Smggles]

Really enjoyed it.

Sounds as though you're recommending it to NSC

 

[ArcticBlue]

Its vulgar, insensitive, dark and witty.

Must see. 9.375/10

 

[Hugo Rune]

Miranda for adults (and is actually funny).

 

[Albion my Albion]

I thought it was about one of the Brighton hotels.

 

[chaileyjem]

Its one of the best sitcoms in years. Highly highly recommended.

All six episodes are available to view on that iPlayer

Great cast. Why on earth are the BBC hiding it away on BBC3. Best I've seen for ages.

It's actually about a young woman, trying to cope in the contemporary world, so it's not too far away from BBC3's profile. Plus, just because 3 is no longer a channel, it doesn't mean that money shouldn't be spent on its programmes. And finally, the better things always deserve a little bit of effort.

You miss my point. It deserves a bigger audience.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

People Just Do Nothing is another BBC Three sitcom that is very good.

That's a good point.
But the biggest audiences often emerge over time, with slow burners. BBC1 attracts the biggest audiences of the corporations channels, but if Fleabag was shown on that, I can imagine certain newspapers getting in a lather about its content.

Giving it a run out before sticking it on BBC2, praps?

 

[The Spanish]

Brilliant telly. Very very good. Was adapted from a one woman show I believe. Not as brave a commission as people just do nothing (funny but too many brentisms but produced by ash atalla so you can forgive that) but you cannot fault the bbc on either.

 

[MF'84]

Just watched the first episode having seen this thread, pretty good, will definitely watch the rest when I get the chance.

 

[Blue3]

Very funny something our brothers across the pond are still unable to understand
