I hope to get around to it. He was a great character in Breaking Bad.

Comedy series called Chewing Gum. Utterly outrageous and hilarious.

It was in two series of 6, the second of which was earlier this year.

It's on Netflix.

You have been warned.

I have just been laughing my head off and crying with laughter.

A little earlier, quite by chance, I discovered there were two more series of the wonderfully tacky and outrageous Benidorm.

I discovered it when, I think, series 7 was about to begin in 2015 and I binge watched it in time to get up to date. I had the impression that was the last bunch as a few cast members had left.

But, no, there was a series last year and another this.


It's like meeting old friends.

Currently catching up on a Danish programme called 'Dicte' about a crime reporter who gets involved in cases, good stories, well acted, nice comedy touches. Was shown in the UK on Ch4, and it's in Danish with English subs. First series was in 2013, certainly worth a look.

Sounds like a Swedish series of movies...can't recall the name of the journalist.

Added to my backlog. It's on Netflix too.

Varg Veum worth checking out too.
