BBC passes on new Two Pints

[Sebastian Cobb]

The BBC is a has-been. Who watches live TV anymore? Certainly, the BBC does little to encourage so-doing.

Can Two Pints decant to Netflix or Prime? Much better opportunities for quality there than on the shit BBC.

I thought it had been on netters at some point but it looks like the whole lot is on iPlayer to watch for nothing anyway.

It was both terrible and funny. The Christmas musical episode was tremendous fun, with all of the cast really putting their all into it.

It should have ended once Ralf Little left, but it stumbled on tolerably for a little. Then almost everyone else left, and it STILL didn't get axed. Which was astonishing - you don't recast an ensemble sitcom.

Grown Ups was always shit though.

Apropos of nothing, I keep reading the thread title as "BBC pisses on new Two Pints."

Me too. The brain sees "Pints" first and gets locked into a liquidy train of thought.

It's the same idea as Friends or Big Bang Theory: hang-out comedy so that if you can't be with actual friends, you can watch bland TV characters do nothing in a reassuring humdrum familiarity. It's not as good as Friends or Big Bang Theory, but nobody's giving Will Mellor $1 million an episode.

I always enjoyed it until the latter years.

The previously mentioned musical ep is probably the one I've seen the most. I gave up not long after Ralf Little left.

BBC3 doesn't need to give us any new content from it's shows to celebrate itself. It would just be nice if they dedicated a day or two to the old shows from launch like the ones I mentioned in the original post.

I watch Burn It every year or two. Banging soundtrack, great cast, and just a brilliant show really. Never got a physical release because of all the music used in it. Not worth replacing the tracks like they do often due to licensing issues as the soundtrack was a massive part of the show.

Burn it was great. many a career spawned from it. the schoolkid from it is in Hollyoaks in her mid 30's now! dont think i've ever rewatched it. i put it in the same brackets as the lakes which was lucky enough to get a DVD release.

On forgotten BBC Three shows - The Fades was absolutely excellent. British take on the Zombie porn of the early part of the last decade (except not being entirely derivative like every other zombie show is), cruelly dropped before it could get a concluding series due to the channel suffering massive budget cuts.
