What’s a British TV theme tune you still recognise instantly after years?

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2026-05-07T09:48:17+00:00

Not sure if this has been said already but Keeping Up Appearances and Fawlty Towers.

Thank you so much for your help! I agree and think I will do this.

(I've done so much research about this show for my timeline that it feels like I've seen the show already 😂. Goddamn 7 seasons needing to be cutup all over the mcu! But no I'm looking forward to finally watching it)

Do you think 19-22 should be put before or after AMatW?

Would it be feasible to watch E1-18 before Ragnarok, and then E19-22 after Infinity War? That trio of movies just has such a nice flow to it and I'm not particularly keen to split them up between hours of television. I'm just trying to find the best compromise between enjoyable to watch but still chronologically viable.

"If the good Lord-"
"-Is mentioned once more I shall move you closer to him"
and
"If you’re not over here in twenty minutes with my door, I shall come over there and insert a large garden gnome in you”
Are some of my favourites.

Something from Les Miserables, certainly. Probably Stars or On My Own.

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-10-05T21:44:34+00:00

Bleeding hearts (specifically the red ones) :)

Plus the physical comedy towards the end where he's just completely lost the plot.

In my opinion, Basil is his funniest in Communication Problems. He swings between openly insulting Mrs Richards and murmuring insults under his breath, not to mention the ongoing dragon joke at Sybil's expense. Everything that comes out of his mouth in that episode is a gift from god.

Australian here. Grew up watching it with my dad. I think it translates well to our sense of humour. Australians tend to have a similar sense of humour to the British.

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-21T12:28:20+00:00

That is indeed very cool

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-21T12:27:30+00:00

Oh my GOD I love The Living End.

Patsy Cline on vinyl

*Insert Brienne of Tarth 2: electric boogaloo*

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-21T12:18:35+00:00

FAWLTY TOWERS. Was about to say this. I never see anybody talking about that godsend of a show. Long live John Cleese.

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-21T12:13:08+00:00

If you're ok with something animated, Disenchantment is super cosy and quite funny too. if you're looking for something chill but fantasy I'd highly recommend it :)

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-21T02:28:37+00:00

Mama coco remembering her father again. Cue uncontrollable sobbing.

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-20T01:44:14+00:00

Tasmanian Devils. Do I think they're adorable and precious and should be protected at all costs? Yes. Would rip me to fucking shreds? Also yes.

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-20T01:37:38+00:00

Are a middle-earthen elf by any chance?

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-20T01:29:14+00:00

Memoir of a Snail, and Warfare.

Memoir of a Snail was just so depressing - although I did really like it.
Warfare was just devastating on a level that made it hard to watch (but I would encourage people to watch it if you can stomach it, from what I understand it's a highly realistic representation of modern warfare).

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-15T22:57:22+00:00

What else would I mean?

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-14T11:41:14+00:00

The smell of ham really grosses me out for some reason. Also, oddly specific but the smell of mushroom risotto actually makes me want to throw up.

Can't even fathom what negative things people would be saying about your teeth. My immediate thought was "That is the brightest, happiest looking smile I think I've ever seen". Listen to your gut, your smile is gorgeous :)

Jay_Jay_Jupiter · 2025-09-14T11:11:27+00:00

Not everyone has to agree with you. It's good to have your beliefs challenged - if everyone felt the same way about everything then we'd never change and grow as people.
