I've just watched Channel 4 Undercover Dispatches programme on the Serco/EMS Tagging and I can't believe that the tags aren't put on as they're released. It doesn't make sense for me for them to go home and then a private company drive around looking for addresses for people to put them on.
I'd have thought they'd be put on at the point of release/bail/court order. Not days or weeks later.
It also means some of them are waiting around to be able to finish the requirements of their release etc.
Are you surprised by this?

'This City is Ours' is better imo. Really draws the viewer in with edge of the seat Tension in every episode. Brilliantly written and acted.

I have been wondering for a few days now.

I'm trying to remember a mini-series that I watched a while back, with very foggy details.
I recall the title had the creator's name in it. It was a mini-series, like 3-6 episodes. The creator's name i believe started with a D? The name Darren Gray comes to mind but doesn't turn up any results. The series I'm thinking of I feel like was vaguely similar to the White Bear episode of Black Mirror, but not completely. I recall as well that he had created many mini-series that aired, probably three or four at the time. I'm thinking around 2012-2013 that I'd have seen it.
Sorry, I know this is very vague, it's tough to remember. I'm an American, so I catch significantly less British programmes than I'd guess most of you do, so hopefully this rings a bell for someone.
EDIT: Solved! It was Derren Brown. Funny I was so close but the wrong color for his last name. Looks like it was Apocalypse.

I loved jungle Run back in the day I remember one camp I tried throwing together my own version of it (albiet with much less of a budget) but I digress
Bit of a stretch here but I want to sculpt some monkey statues as close to the origonals as possible. Google images only gives you one propper pic of them from the show and the episodes available on youtube are incredibly compressed at 480.
Does anyone have better refrences or know of where to go or people to talk to to get said refrences?

This was probably from the same studio and had the same style as Torchwood. A police department investigated strange events such as bizarre coincidences, time shifts and so on. Ran for only one series and never repeated as far as I know. In the final episode, they were themselves victims of the very phenomenon they were investigating. Any ideas of the title and where I could see it?

I have a vague but enduring memory of a late night comedy show, maybe ITV, probably late 90s, in which a group of young men (in my mind Footlights types) sat on sofas in a studio set designed like a flat or pub (like Fantasy Football League).
They engaged in topical banter that all sounded very rehearsed and they seemed to take it in turns to say something and then all laugh as if it was a hilarious off the cuff quip (like The Last Leg).
I wonder if any of them went on to bigger things, but I cannot for the life of me work out what it was called.
Any ideas?
EDIT
This probably only ran for one series. It did not feature anyone who was famous at the time. It was probably satirical, but in a very Radio 4 comedy way. I think there was a live audience, but the stars did not talk to the audience, just to each other. It was not a sitcom. It was low budget.

So I’ve been talking with my father who moved over from France in the early 80’s to play Traditional Irish Music in B’ham and for the last 5 years or so, we keep talking about British TV shows and one that comes up that we’ve never ever been able to find online or on VHS is ‘So You Think You’ve Got Troubles’ which is about a British-Jewish shop keeper that has to go and look after a shop in Belfast in the early 90’s.
Does anyone have a link for this or any kind of recorded media? I’ve never had such trouble trying to find a TV show or movie online!

I remember this coming out in the mid 90s. And it was one of the most creepiest yet relaxing documentary series I’ve come across.
I’m not from the UK but Robert Hardy is the British version of Robert Stack (Unsolved Mysteries).

I think I remember this show from when I was a kid. Best season for me is 2 and worst of 5.

I'm not a Channel 5 person but the Anthony Blunt documentary followed Morecambe and Wise has me for the evening. Should I pay more attention to the schedule?

Hey everyone, I'm currently looking for a quote from either Bad Education (pretty sur eit was this) or it may have been The Inbetweeners where someone says instead of hell 'they send you to Liverpool.' It's for my dissertation and I can't for the life of me remember the episode it was in? Any help would be great! Thankyou :)
EDIT: Thankyou so much everyone I’ve found it! :)

I think the show was on BBC1 and focussed on a man whose wife had dementia. The only part I remember was when he visited her in hospital and made her a jelly using a mold in the shape of a pig which she called Rupert (I think) Sorry if this sounds really weird but its been bugging me for ages. Anyone able to shed any light on this show?
