The gentle telly appreciation thread
I've been loving Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.
It's droll and silly and wistfully melancholy.
Two 787 men contemplating the abyss in waders.
I'm so old.![sad yes](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/2158945485.gif)
Anyway, do any of you?

Is it a documentary or a sitcom type thing?

No. Never heard of it. But gentle and homely tv has its place - I get that from EastEnders.
I also tuned into The Waltons a few weeks ago, expecting some homespun Americana, but it was an episode centred around the people of Walton Mountain finding out about the Holocaust.
The middle Walton son - what an ugly git. He didn't seem to have a chin. Detracted from the moving storyline somewhat.

Do they get voted off? My grandmother and I used to enjoy the coach trip programme. We'd have an afternoon gin and watch that.

"Deewar E Shab" is a current passion of mine. 'Historical drama following the lives of a group of courtesans and the people around them'. Channel Hum Europe. Well worth pressing the series link button.
It's got great dialogue - 'my tongue is stiff and I feel insulted' forms a key part of a current plot line argument.
"New Tricks" always enjoyable. Anyone? Although I'm an Amanda Redman rather than a Tamzin Outhwaite person. And I've never been fully comfortable with Nicholas Lyndhurst outside the role of Rodney.

I don't think so. I've only seen bits of it (including tonight) but it always seems to be the five of them.

I'll look it out. Lesley Joseph is great and Cleo Rocos is normally good value.
