Ladhood - BBC comedy

[Yobo Ahoy]

Did anyone watch the first series of this? Its influences were clear as a Northern* Inbetweeners and Fleabag mash-up but I absolutely loved it. Really relatable in places, I think everyone knew a Rupert and Tinhead growing up. Series 2 now on iPlayer too:

*But filmed around the corner from me in my crappy Hertfordshire suburb so I like it even more.

Watched the first 2 episodes this morning, pretty good and quite relatable really.

This started out as a very entertaining Radio 4 series. If you like the tv show I recommend you check it out.

I thought this was wonderful. Had no idea there was a second series, fab.

I really enjoyed his Pls Like series but couldn't get on with this at all - the first ep of the first series where the lad has to fight a bully was really unpleasant and found it really difficult to watch.

 

Never watched the second ep

[Yobo Ahoy]

The fight episode was a bit rough, yeah. But it gets better. 

 

I think my favourite one in the first series where they are trying to make music on Liam's bedroom PC - I think we've all thought we were budding producers at some point and it would be fucking embarrassing to see what you actually made. Also the ongoing bin-kicking joke cracks me up every time.

I think this might be the best written thing on UKTV for me at the moment. I dont think any other series has captured being an adolescent in Britain (and the trauma of that!) quite so well. 

 

It deserves much, MUCH more attention than it's been getting.

Series 3 of this is out if anyone else is interested. I've watched all 6 episodes in less than a day! Great stuff.

[memories]

Just finished and it's another great series.

 

Never forget

[Yobo Ahoy]

Just watched series 3 in a couple of days. Consistently excellent and while it's a shame to see it end, it'll be nice not to see it deteriorate.

 

Steve Pemberton's heartfelt speech and then the last minute swerve was inspired, and Liam's boss was also a highlight. Horatio! 

 

 

 

[disperse and recoagulate]

I’ve tried this but not really getting on with it, and after getting two episodes into season two I don’t think I’ve laughed out loud since ‘word poor’ in episode one.

 

It probably says more about me than the show but it’s not relatable to me at all, and the modern-day character seems like a complete and utter bellend.

 

Also, Addy supposedly being the coolest of the group in episode one (admittedly purely down to how much he smokes) to being a complete and utter dweeb in every other episode is a bit jarring.
