I remember Reverend Stevens from EE :( sounds like a lovely guy

Recently I was reminded of a show I remember watching in (I assume) the early 2000's, and have tried to look it up but can't find anything. It was a bawdy post-pub 'challenge' type show, a bit like a British Banzai, with short sketches where people would attempt challenges. My guess is it would've been on channel 4. It had a presenter who would introduce each challenge. One of the reasons I think it sticks in my pervy teenage memory is there were bits where women would sit on washing machines and fake orgasms. There was also a running bit with a 'secret' challenge where a man and a woman would go into a room, and they would be panting and groaning (obviously supposed to sound like sex) but at the end of the series it was revealed they were playing ping pong. I'm not bothered about watching it again, just want to make sure I'm not going crazy and inventing TV shows out of thin air!

Hope things the right sub.

I’ve been looking for the name of a UK tv series and have only the following to give from what I can remember:

- Produced somewhere around the late 80s to mid 90s

- The protagonist was some kind of businessman, I thought it was George Cole. If not him, someone similar looking

- What I think was part of the opening credits, was a recall of the beginning of it all. The protagonist (perhaps antihero?) is in a boat on a river, passing under a bridge. At the same time the ashes of an old lady are scattered above him and some of it lands in his mouth. The ghostly face of said departed lady appears as an overlay on screen, cackling as this seems to me she has some kind of possession over him, or at least enables her to haunt him.

I’ve tried IMDB and googling and dreaded AI, but I seem to have either overlooked it or drawn a blank. All help appreciated x

I recently rewatched the sky series “delicious” which ran from 2016-2019 and loved it just as much as I did the first time

It’s bittersweet that it only had a 12 episode run over 3 seasons because as much as I’d adore to see more episodes I think it was a beautifully told story that never felt overdone

Any fans out there!?

Good evening. My name is Kitty.

I could have married, have given gallons of blood, and I can't stomach whelks. So that's me for you.

Wonder if this will go down as well as It's A Sin did! Loved that show (as much as I cried)

Some repeats with Nish, Lucy and Gok.

Michael’s extremely competitive as per his recent House of Games appearances, so it’s probably best that he’s (sort of) asking the questions rather than asking them.

I’m not a religious Pointless viewer, but will catch the odd episode and look forward to seeing how the new co-hosts get on!

Hey just curious are they any shows that cover unsolved mysteries in the UK?.
