I don’t recall the episode, but that’s David Mitchell looking awkward with a woman inadvertently challenging him not to be a wanker with a superiority complex, so I imagine it’s Peep Show.

I just wanted the series name. Thanks I will have a look. I see that is a comedy, and I tend to watch British comedy a lot, starting with Allo Allo, keeping up the appearances and the IT crowd. Lately the comedy Central from Poland has the one foot in the grave, which I watch when i can.

See if you can find The Young Ones online. And the Two Ronnies. And Porridge. And Open All Hours. And Are You Being Served? And Red Dwarf.

It’s very good if you don’t mind the subgenre of pathologically narcissistic main characters, like Seinfeld or Always Sunny. It’s also a clever send-up of the Friends era of shows about “hip” young urbanites.

I do loved Seinfeld, but not much Always sunny in Philadelphia. Interesting thanks again. Btw I loved only fools and horses, some good lines in there.
