Oh and i traced my family tree back to the early 1700's. I had a distant relative called Simon Lugton was captured during the uprising with Bonnie Prince Charlie.
He was a pow. Put on trial in Carlisle in england and described in court as a borderline imbecile. Transported to Canada as slave labour.
I'm happily carrying on his imbecillity lol.
A wee tune you might like. Although its an anti Jacobite tune.

I don't know Black Books. I can agree that the IT Crowd is good, but give me Red Dwarf. I own the first 8 seasons and watch them frequently.

Nice to have recommendations. Thanks.
Son and wife loved Red Dwarf, bug, and Dr. Who too.
Just started watching What IF on Netflix with Renee Zellwegger. Really like her and good to see her play a dark role, and so well. They describe the series as a "neo-noir social thriller." Only on the second episode and like thrillers, but will see if it gets a little too dark and weird for me.

So i mentioned before about a channel 4 series made by Shane Meadows (This Is England etc etc).............
The Virtues
Written and directed by Shane Meadows, `The Virtues' is an emotionally charged drama that teeters on the edge of total self-destruction.
Joseph is already in a precarious situation battling an alcohol addiction and memories from a dark childhood, but his life is thrown into further disarray when his ex-partner moves to Australia and takes their son with her.
With no one to turn to but a bottle of liquor, an all-night bender prompts Joseph to confront his haunting past and he heads to Ireland.
There he finds compassion from a sister who thought he was dead but also a familiar face that strikes feelings of fear within him."
There are four episodes. I seen the first two before i went away.
I've watched the last two episodes this morning.
The final episode is one of the most powerful things I've ever seen on telly for a long long time.
Nae guns. Nae car chases. Just a boss acted drama.
Yous should try and catch it folks.
And Polly Jane Harvey contributes some really great tunes. This is the closing song on each episode..........
PJ Harvey
The Crowded Cell
He shoves me in a room He calls two soldiers in
They clamp my head with irons Their hands becoming fists You will see us again You will remember this
They tie me up with ropes They beat my legs with sticks I cannot use my legs They drag me to a desk Behind it sits a man Fingernails are on the floor He laughs and asks: "What kind Of freedom do you want?"
They push me down the stairs I’m lying on the ground Behind the set of doors I hear two women howl
I see three men on rags Their hands tied to their feet Their faces pinched with clamps Guards pulling out their teeth
They drag me to the gates They dump me on the ground The super laughs and says: "Walk to your freedom now"
This image on repeat A mouth that cannot speak A huge force pressing in A giant looming fist You will see us again You will remember this
