It's a shame there are only 6 episodes. Are they played weekly? I mean it's so weird to have such a short season. I guess with our American shows we have so many episodes but quality varies greatly.

Most comedy programs over here in the UK are 6 episodes long.

The reason why a series is normally 6 episodes is because things are expensive! The bigger shows like Shameless and Skins have more writers and more money, but sometime that shows in the quality of the story. You look around, most series started with 6 episodes then went on to something higher because of it's success.

Shameless started with 7 and this current series is something like 16! next series is only going to be about 8 though.

TV is expensive, which why we end up with stupid celeb and some stupid throw your body about shows, because they they pull in the viewers and the cost is cheaper, which is a bit sad really because those sort of shows are brain dead.

By the way people, we are in the UK it's called a series, if you call it a season I'll hunt you down and slap you.

ahahaha, after reading this thread I just watched the entire first series today :p Reminds me in a way of how 6th form was - funniest bit was "Friend, footballfriend! Carfriend!" We used to take the **** out of each other just like that and go to Thorpe park every couple of months once we had just learned to drive.

Great that the 2nd series is just weeks away. (Y)

I like having only 6 episodes in the UK. It stops writers from milking jokes, like American comedies do a little. It stops catchphrases developing too quickly also.

I'm looking forward to the next series. After this thread started I watched them all through. I've been away for a year, and I never watch TV (on a TV), so I would have missed this completely if not for this thread. I'm not sure if that's sad or not. :p

      This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
