ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES - SERIES 1
UK: Martin Shardlow, 1981 (Created by John Sullivan)As part of the ongoing and evolving cultural exchange taking place between my girlfriend and I, we have decided to sit down and watch every single episode of Only Fools and Horses - officially my favourite TV sitcom ever. As I'm often to be found watching an episode of Only Fools and Horses whilst doing pretty much anything else - working, cooking, cleaning, sleeping or relaxing - it may slip my mind to organise posts on individual series but here goes.
We have finished series 1 already and what is left to say about it aside from repeating the fact that it is simply the funniest and most enjoyable sitcom ever made.
Score: 10/10

PEEP SHOW - SERIES 4
UK: Becky Martin, 2007 (Created by Andrew O'Connor, Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain)I must admit that I am still surprised the 'POV' aesthetic hasn't worn thin and that the quality of the writing still remains despite this show now having completed four series. Central to the continued appeal is the brilliant performances of David Mitchell and Robert Webb.
Score: 8/10

24 - SEASON 2
USA: Various Directors, 2002-2003 (Created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran)The opening 12 episodes of this season is without question the strongest and most exhilarating story arc I yet to enjoy in 24. In fact, I wish in some way the season ended there despite the conceit of the show's title dictating every singe season must have twenty-four episodes occurring in real time. You see the show just can't maintain momentum for such a long run of episodes in the perpetual present of its diegesis. Instead the scripts turn to head-slappingly nonsensical twists and absurd shifts in the behaviour of its principal cast which undermines any characterisation the show has built up.
Score: 7/10
