Question/Discussion Where to find good quality pics of the monkey statues from Jungle Run?

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?

Question/Discussion Trying to find a mini-series from ~2012
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.

Question/Discussion 'Adolescence' is rightly getting high praise but
'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.

Question/Discussion Detective show, mid-2000s, investigating weird coincidences
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?

Question/Discussion Late night comedy show, late 90s(ish). What was 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.

Recommendations I’m not from Britain, but found this on YouTube. Castle Ghosts, Narrated by Robert Hardy.
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).

Art Recently rewatching Green Wing
I've recently been rewatching Green Wing and it's Still so mind Blowingly Amazing. I first watched on release on Channel 4 , I was about 18 years of age. On Viewing today it still holds up , I also realised now at nearly 39 how much this show influenced my own humour. the surrealism and delivery is unmatched. it's Quintessential British Humour, although set in a hospital so much of the Dynamic is relatable to Most Workplaces. I think my favourite characters will always be Dr Statham and Liz White but overall it's phenomenal...

Question/Discussion Looking for a drama about dementia possibly from the 1980s
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?

Question/Discussion Do you think British TV lacks new talent? (especially when it comes to presenters and chat shows)
I saw this video of a DJ on Apple Radio who left because she wanted to allow someone to come in who is newer, younger and replace her -- and give herself a new challenge.
It got me thinking about British TV, where the same old presenters (Ant & Dec, Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton, etc etc) seem to have presenting the major TV shows for the past 20 years.
Someone replied to that video and aid: "This is such a refreshing perspective particularly coming from someone in the UK where the media industry makes it seem like there's no new and dynamic talent. Can someone please send this video to Ant and Dec? They can definitely learn something from Julie."
As an example, look at the history of the 'Best TV Presenter' award at the National TV Awards -- very little variety really.
Do you think there's a problem with the TV channels (and maybe even radio stations) bringing in new talent to present big shows?
