What's the Gavin and Stacey verdict on here? I actually rate it and I watched the Christmas special

[Drederick Shanktum]

Gavin and Stacey is awful. I think I may have smirked once at that Christmas special.

Just finished watching Bancroft, it's quite far fetched but Sarah parish is very lovely to watch despite being a brutal serial killer

[CritchSmile]

Few people have told me that Gavin and Stacey is a good show but Xmas special was shit.

I hate James corden but apparently good with this. A bit like Peter Kay and Phoenix Nights.

Gavin and Stacey the original series is good, Cordens character is funny on it.

Shteve finally shows his hand and it's Gavin and fucking Stacey

[Kashinda]

Started watching that Unbelievable on Netflix. Based on a true story apparently, it's very slow but manages to keep you invested in it

The Tiger Who Came to Tea is brilliant. Scared my daughter first watch as He is menacing, but it's cheerful and groovy as it retains its sixties vibe.

The musical number is good too, even if it is Robbie.

We watched it on Christmas Eve was really good, agree about the sixties vibe as well.

New series of Top Boy and Line of Duty this year 

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

Chucked on a couple of episodes of Derry Girls last night because the lady friend didn't want a harrowing Black Mirror to be the last thing she saw before bed (joke's on her; she was going to bed with me so the last thing she saw was going to be harrowing regardless )

I was surprised by how funny it was Really decent.

[2MatoFish]

It's not perfect, but it's a really funny show. Too much gurning for laughs when it's capable of earning them through character, situation and gags.

Shame there's only a dozen episodes.

Got it on now. Not sure I've ever read the book with any inference that the tiger is evil or malicious. Definitely feels they've gone for a "he could eat the family at any moment" vibe and not sure I like it.

[2MatoFish]

Can't remember the book well enough, but I'd argue, firstly, that he's a tiger, but also that he represents the intrusion of counter culture - mainly drugs and promiscuous sex - into a safe suburban lifestyle. But mostly he's a tiger.

Anyway, I wouldnt say evil (that implies intent) but he's certainly menacing. There's a point where the little girl examines his teeth (red riding hood) and sticks her head in his mouth and then walks around him but the camera angle makes it look like he's swallowing her.

Kudos to whoever sorted the camera work on it btw; made the whole thing disorienting and dream like. Unsettling and vibrant, like all the best sixties fare.

Oh, and zog is the best of the Julia Donaldson ones on over Christmas imo, but that's just for the dad crew.

Our neighbours mum wrote the tv adaptation, she also worked the snowman way back when.

[2MatoFish]

Wee one fucking loves the snowman this year. Watches it abd reads the book and checks everything syncs up. Loses her shit at the snowman party.

Think some other pseudo intellects drew comparisons with the Gestapo knocking on your door. Kerr says he's just a tiger. When reading it to my kid he's just a jolly tiger that wants to eat then leaves. No sinister undertones. The telly version goes all in on him being a potential threat.

[2MatoFish]

The gestapo is a great nonsense interpretation. Lewis Carroll is wheels within wheels, this is clearly a silly thing.

Enjoyed the sinister tiger, despite him not acting on it.

Our daughter is too young to take it all in but was captivated by the tiger

Tiger is a peed IMO
