No wonder people took E in a Friday night in this era

[@wesleyashworth5061]

If I’m absolutely honest I’d rather watch mammals pulling a cart around in circles for eternity than prime time this weekend

[@blackmichael75]

If you look in the newspaper archive, you can see what else was on that night; A Bit of Fry and Laurie on BBC2, and on Channel 4, Cheers and Roseanne and Clive Anderson's chat show. Actually not a bad night.

[@intelligenceofacertainkind]

Aside from Surprise Surprise (which was obviously deplorable dogshite) that's a better line up than now.

[@TC2290-wh5cb]

Shame Roseanne ended up as a hard right conspiracy theorist lunatic. Show was alright tho.

[@engurland]

Friday nights in 1990. It was the Hacienda or this.

[@intelligenceofacertainkind]

This shite then for me.

[@Hxrrygrxxn]

“Through his praces” how’d he not pick that up

[@Meladjusted]

She does say "paces." Her voice just cracks slightly in the middle.

[@graemethompson3169]

Ha ha. I mind watching it at the time and thinking how shite it was.

[@garyfogel9530]

This is peak culture mate

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

There's no going back.

[@judgeberry6071]

Just think if they'd have had TH-cam back then. We could have been paying to watch people watching TV.

[@okenshield]

Jim’ll fix it for grown ups

[@Zilch.0]

Well we're watching the exact same thing, with the addition of a middle aged Scotsman being a bit annoyed and confused about it, so are we really any better?

[@intelligenceofacertainkind]

I was a kid when it was aired and I felt completely alone and confused why anyone would like Black and the crap programs and singing she did. This is cathartic.

[@Zilch.0]

@intelligenceofacertainkind I understand what you get out of it then. I'm less certain what I get out of it as someone who's not even from the UK and who's entire knowledge of Cilla is that Limmy hates her (I thought I knew that she made that song 'Downtown' but I just looked it up and that was Petula Clark).
Edit: Nice username btw.

[@gary0768]

My level of cynicism

[@pete9469]

I think the show peaked at Lollipop Pat,
This is something else!🥱
