In reply to Blue Straggler:
Bit of a change of pace from that...
David Tennant and Michael Sheen are back with a second series of their 'lockdown' comedy 'Staged'. Anyone who didn't seen it would probably be best watching the first series first.
The second series is a bit 'meta' - they acknowledge that the first series was fiction and talk about it as if this one is real, whilst playing more or less the same fictionalised versions of themselves. There are more 'guest stars' this time, and as before they're all playing versions of themselves too and clearly enjoying it. (It's almost impossible to say anything about them without spoilers though.)

Oh and...
I started a thread about this already but it sank without trace. I realise how ridiculous it sounds but Worzel Gummidge is really good. Mackenzie Crook writes, directs and plays the eponymous scarecrow. This has a lot in common with Detectorists: it isn't edgy and there's precious little excitement, it's slow, gentle, affectionate, witty and warm. The entire cast are superb, particularly the kids.
There were two episodes last year, Covid restrictions meant that they only managed to film one this year (the original plan was to do two). Crook originally wrote six scripts and says he's hoping to make the remaining three next year.
'Saucy Nancy' the latest one is ridiculously sweet but stays just the right side of outright schmaltz. After four series of Detectorists and two previous episodes of Worzel Gummidge, Mackenzie Crook finally snapped and couldn't resist putting The Unthanks in front of the camera.
