I recently re-discovered this brilliant show. Very dark humour but always for a social commentary rather than shock value. The problem is that it's very topical so watching it now requires memories of what it was like when it was made in British society. That said, The Daily Mail/other tabloid shite are still blowing things out of proportion and many of the issues tackled are still very much still issues today.

www.letmewatchthis.com has links to all the episodes streaming but it appears to be down at the moment. I'd recommend watching on Frogmovz as opposed to any other sites as I know for certain that all of those links work and buffer pretty quickly!

Enjoy, or just talk about it here if you remember it!

I have the first series of this on dvd-I adore it. Though I seem to remember an episode where the characters eat a homeless guy at the dinner party-was this in series 2 along with the paedofinder general?

Yeah, I *think* that was series 2. It's the pretentious middle-class people who do it. The Paedofinder General is brilliant! His version of Fire by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown is awesome!

I will definitely check out series 2 as soon as I can-I too remember the version of "Fire" from when BBC3 shown it-absolutely hilarious can't wait to watch it after all this time. Superb dark humour.
