What I find funniest looking back on this is that someone MUST HAVE had to teach Paul how to setup and use a PC, the internet, so on as he's mentioned many times that he neither has the internet at home, nor a smartphone nor a computer lol
I find it strangely comforting that lockdown obviously affected them all. Not their best season but none of us were genuinely right in the head I fear by this point in time.
I wasn’t affected by lockdown and had to go to work every day. I envy you people who got to participate. It’s just too bad none of you did anything productive.
@@The_Gnome_Chomskee Even people who did go to work were affected, although it depends a lot what country you were in. A lot of people found themselves working from home and having to put in more hours to achieve the same thing. Lots of people did many productive things while not being allowed to go out. Some more worthwhile than others. Living in a flat, having children being alone each had its own complications.
Unfortunately, that will be in 3 or 4 weeks time when all episodes have aired. Would be weird to upload 'best of series 60: the first seven episodes' next sunday
The first one was like many Zoom meetings even now, 8 months in! I'm not sure, but weren't they the first to adapt to lockdown conditions? Fair play to them! Not as normal, but what is now?!!!!
Best of that series. Better than most of us were probably doing. The day I stuck a poster on the wall and taught a class sat in my bathroom because I had nowhere else free in the house is the day I realised none of us would come out of this totally unscathed.
@@rebefarfort1244 I don't think we can blame the pandemic for this series being unfunny - more that the lack of an audience exposed the already dire material for what it was
@@wizlez I think you may have misunderstood me. I was pointing out that something can be not as good as other things but still be the best in it's category. I think this was unlike the TV shows because of them not being in the same place. Also a topical news show will by definition have difficulties if most of the world is on lockdown. I actually found it comforting to see that they were all going through the same kind of minor emotional breakdown as I was.
@@wizlez I understood you. I disagree but even if you do not like the show (which begs the question why watch it) something can still be the best of what there is.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
I do not understand why they even bothered with this series, it was awful to watch at the time and it is even more awful to watch now knowing that all the lockdowns and isolation was pointless. Some of us with a free thinking brain knew it at the time because the virus was an AIRBORNE virus which meant it did not matter if you were six inches apart or sixty miles and given that all buildings are ventilated lockdowns and isolating was a waste of time too.
