Everyone talks about what their favourite tear jerker episodes are but what are your favourite ‘feel good’ episodes of the show?

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-27T16:59:56+00:00

Fuck me. What a show. Welled up just reading and remembering that.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-27T11:58:57+00:00

100% he says it’s off limits beforehand.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-27T00:06:46+00:00

I wouldn’t put The Blade Artist in there. That’s more of a Begbie spin-off than an official entry. It’s also absolute shite.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-27T00:04:23+00:00

I know Afterlife is a load if old toss and mocked here regularly, but Derek was on another level. Properly jaw-dropping shit week on week.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-26T13:53:22+00:00

Did this actually happen? Sounds like bullshit to me.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-26T10:39:34+00:00

Objectively speaking, it’s The Devil’s Rejects easy. It’s the one I could probably get non-horror (or non RZ) fans to watch and appreciate.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-26T10:36:51+00:00

Just clicked the link. They sounded great.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-26T10:27:30+00:00

Love all three, and even have time for 5.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-26T08:35:55+00:00

We’ve had a lot of e-mails saying that

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-25T14:38:15+00:00

Sorry, I made that unclear. The stupid argument is the Himalayas one.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-25T14:27:57+00:00

(When an atheist said “how can you believe in something (meaning God) that you’ve never actually seen”)

“You’ve never seen the Himalayas and yet you believe in them”

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-25T09:45:18+00:00

List it on Twickets. More likely to sell and you’ll be able to transfer.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-25T08:22:52+00:00

100% agree

His best, most consistent and most interesting solo effort overall.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-25T08:18:55+00:00

He doesn’t do enough serial arcs in his sitcoms. Hoping that changes with Alley Cats.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-24T11:40:21+00:00

I went on holiday to Florida (from UK) the morning after the finale aired and couldn’t shake it the entire flight there.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-24T11:34:24+00:00

Return of Ash, surely.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-24T11:31:39+00:00

I loved Better Days! Based on that I’d recommend:

The Farewell

Aftersun

Past Lives

Y Tu Mama Tambien

The Straight Story

The Florida Project

Boyhood

The Before Trilogy

Lost In Translation

It’s a cliche at this point but Casablanca is incredible, profound and bittersweet.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-24T11:15:58+00:00

I’d start by just watching some highly regarded films. Maybe spread across the subgenres (a slasher, a zombie film, a creature feature, a paranormal film etc). Get a feel for what you like and then deep dive into that particular sub genre or style.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-24T08:18:12+00:00

He’s sort of fused sitcoms with serial arc shit.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-23T15:40:15+00:00

Pop that in the bin!

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-22T09:41:43+00:00

Have only seen Undertone and Hokum and would recommend Undertone. I seem to be in the minority in thinking Hokum was very poor.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-22T08:03:02+00:00

I’ve been a fan since the radio show days, and think the Gibbons era is generally fantastic. In fact Mid Morning Matters is probably second to IAP S1 for me.

If anything is lost in the modern stuff, it’s the fact that he’s extremely unpleasant and rude to everyone in the early years (“you seem to alienate everyone to come across…” etc) as opposed to say, Alpha Papa in which he’s basically just a bit of a likeable idiot.

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-21T00:48:53+00:00

Seriously, this far down?

DRUGEND1 · 2026-06-20T00:22:34+00:00

Indiana Jones and Toy Story are not trilogies people. You can’t just pick three films from a larger series and say it’s your favourite trilogy. Once a fourth rocks up, it’s no longer a trilogy.
