Fond memories of watching eps of this show during it's brief run on the first series of Da Bungalow and the absolute surrealism of the comedy flying above my head... which wasn't the case to a more humour experienced me when rewatching some eps a few years ago :p

Four Candles and Dead Parrot are fine and everything, but I'm still going to stick my neck out and say this is the best sketch ever on telly.

Fairly sure this will only increase the chance of the "Should've gone to Specsavers" phrase being used towards the few that'll actually buy this product than anything else...

Your casual reminder here that there's still some unsung heroes within presentation at this time of year
S4C’s Christmas Pres this year is utterly delightful.

A callback, yes (see also BBC1’s Gruffalo) but I love how they keep moving the girl and the dragon forward. Even introduced another new ident this evening.

Love to know who produced the idents? @s4c.cymru

So I see that Friends is leaving Netflix after nearly 8 years... and from the absolute outcry from fans, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the show leaving the platform is Channel 4/E4 axing it all over again to them
