This is fantastic. Buy it right now. Watch it ASAP.
Really.
It's one of the funniest and most brilliant things you'll ever see. Don't worry if you missed the first series (which was very good, brilliant in places, but not a patch on this).
I know it sounds like I'm gushing... sod it, I am, who cares? I can't help it. You won't see anything better this year. Possibly any year. I promise.
Seven episodes of unalloyed delight. Classic comedy. References that will make you howl. You'll break into spontaneous applause. You'll hug your knees. And you'll love every minute.
It even features the bloke who supplied the voice of Darth Maul in "The Phantom Menace". Yes, I know... But take it from me, this is a good thing (given the context!).
Please. You have to see this. Even if you've only caught a few minutes of either series here and there, and didn't think it was anything that special. It is. Nothing can prepare you for this.
I'll stop now. This is getting embarrassing. 8)
This is probably a more useful link. But Blackstar have much better service (and no one-click patent nonsense either!)
It had its moments, but I really just didn't find it grabbed me tbh. Although I did like the mad artist bloke, very surreal.
Black Books, on the other hand, is utterly, utterly brilliant!
Oh and Steve, you're right, Scrapheap Challenge is excellent - I spent a very pleasurable thanksgiving lying on a waterbed watching it for about 4 hours straight; they were doing some sort of marathon on cable.
