Watch with Friends

A triple requested episode finishes off season one this week, as Pete watches Buffy for the first time and Dave rewatches an episode he’s probably seen more than almost any other. Expect fun accents, dodgy singing, some absolute bangers and a top tier bit of TV levitation. ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

One of the all time great TV theme tunes is stuck in our heads after this week, plus the idea of taking a baguette wherever you go seems pretty smart now. And will the Ricky Gervais guest spot be irritating or enjoyable? Only one way to find out…(listen to the podcast, obv) ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

An absolutely favourite show of Dave’s this week, so much so that he didn’t need to watch the episode before recording. And as the only saying goes, every good TV show ends with an elephant’s funeral… ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

Something happened this week that - incredibly - never happened in the entire run of FWF, and it really changed the course of the episode. But we think it actually worked out in the end, so join us on our first watch of a new show to both of us… ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

One of Pete's all time favourite shows has been requested this week, and this particular episode has a banging set of guest stars, as well as the excellent regular cast. But has it aged well...?

We’re watching a show that neither of us have ever seen this week, although we’re aware of the characters and the famous tropes. It’s an episode from the final season, as requested by James, and it’s an excellent gateway into the show for a newbie, but will it be enough for us to actually give the show a proper go? ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

There's a scene in this week's episode that makes us both laugh uncontrollably so we're thrilled with the choice, and it's yet further proof that WwF listeners love a farce! ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

A first look at The West Wing for Pete, and let's just say it didn't immediately grab him...but after a slow burn things do start to look up. Dave meanwhile is like a pig in s**t, dissecting CJ's dentistry mishap, Josh's press conference mishap and Sam and Toby's attempts to locate a rural police station. ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

Another excellent farce is on the cards today, as Paul picks an early episode of the IT Crowd (which also features a musical so Dave is extra pleased). There’s a lot to unpack as things just get sillier and sillier as the episode goes on. ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

It’s the first ever listener request on WwF this week, and the honour goes to Lydia! She’s picked what is often touted as the best episode of Frasier, and it’s certainly a very easy one to get into even if you’re not familiar with the show. It’s a proper old-school British-style farce, even down to the questionable accents…and let’s just say hormones are running wild… ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

It’s Dave’s turn to choose this week and it’ll come to no surprise to anyone that’s listened for a while that he’s opted for an episode of TV that he literally has tattooed on his arms. AND it’s based on a musical. Dave and Pete discuss their love of The Simpsons and why this episode is particularly excellent - plus they discover the astonishing reason George Takei DIDN’T take part like he was originally supposed to. ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

We are BACK! It’s a brand new format and we’re getting used to it so please be patient…! As with the first episode of FWF, this initial choice has been made by Pete, and Dave will have his turn next week, and then it’s over to YOU! Pete’s chosen perhaps the best episode of The Office (the American one, for clarity) - Dinner Party. It’s an absolute masterpiece of theatre with pure chaos descending as the episode goes on, and a fine way to kick off our brand new show! ———————————— If you enjoy the podcast and would like to support it in any way (and believe us, we absolutely do not expect you to, your listening is very much already hugely appreciated) then you can always subscribe to our Patreon.

It's a pretty low bar, but this might be the single worst 'party' in the whole show.
