2025-03-24 02:23:14 +0000 UTCI meant to write "one of the first main stream shows". I should've read it back before posting it, I've edited it now.

2025-03-23 10:54:34 +0000 UTCWould be funny to see Mandy attempt watching Rab C. Nesbitt!

2025-03-23 10:04:06 +0000 UTCGlad to hear that you're keeping up with your creative side/art, even if it's just for yourself as you're a great artist!
(Just) Steve
2025-03-23 10:02:46 +0000 UTCErrr, while I can somewhat agree in general, there are examples of working class people in comedies before OFAH. Porridge and Open All Hours are two that spring to mind.

BobSandwiches
2025-03-23 01:20:43 +0000 UTCI know you have shows for years Mandy. But you really should see Alan Patridge, as well as The Trip with Rob Bryden and Steven Coogan in where they play exaggerated versions of themselves
Carl-Fredrik L
2025-03-23 00:56:23 +0000 UTCThat makes me think of Bob Mortimer and his mates stealing fruit and letting it drop on their heads! (Gary Cheeseman was very good at it. Snipers dream they used to call him)
Carl-Fredrik L
2025-03-23 00:53:55 +0000 UTCLegless = drunk 😊 not sure if you watch the new frazer but the english guy in that is nicholas lyndhurst who plays rodney.

2025-03-23 00:49:35 +0000 UTCIf we are talking shows that need translation Derry Girls is another example. Great show. Been compared to In Betweeners, but with girls. Slightly less gross 😆 Might need subtitles unless you are northern irish.

Mandy Cane Lane
2025-03-23 00:43:25 +0000 UTCHello Mr 44. I understand your humour and your sarcasm, but please note your "Simply start a reaction channel" is highly insulting and you wouldn't imagine the work, time and effort that goes into this. I do understand that your being here proves the sarcasm, but don't be rude.
Mandy Cane Lane
2025-03-23 00:10:34 +0000 UTCYeah, I calculated something similar 🤭

Mandy Cane Lane
2025-03-22 23:25:59 +0000 UTCAhhh, here the tax is IVA and it is 21%, but it is added in prices, so paying it is non optional

Mandy Cane Lane
2025-03-22 22:39:50 +0000 UTCOh, thank you for all the explaining! And I am syill creative and do stuff, but only for me. I have especially stepped down from the art world I used to be active in
Mandy Cane Lane
2025-03-22 22:39:40 +0000 UTCHow long was it before you had some food?
Josh Read
2025-03-22 22:39:27 +0000 UTCHahahaha, I am ok with understanding most of it 🤪

Mandy Cane Lane
2025-03-22 22:37:00 +0000 UTCHAHAHHAHA! Definitely an emotion 😅
Mandy Cane Lane
2025-03-22 22:30:14 +0000 UTCI have not seen the new season of Frasier as I am not interested in the reboot. Good to know, I made a sound choice with that as well. Also, funny how one realises how messed up some things were years later, eh? Hindsight is an incredible thing!
Mandy Cane Lane
2025-03-22 22:29:42 +0000 UTCThat is actually really cool!
Mandy Cane Lane
2025-03-22 22:27:12 +0000 UTCHahaha! A brilliant statement from you I am sure! 👏🏻👏🏻🤪
Mandy Cane Lane
2025-03-22 22:26:30 +0000 UTCI failed Art due to the fact i wasn't even allowed in the classroom. Something about being disruptive.
garry donaldson
2025-03-22 21:19:08 +0000 UTCLesson time Mandy!!! 😁 VAT is value added tax. It's on every product and service you purchase (so for example you might pay VAT on driving lessons, not just physical items). In the UK and Europe it's at a rate of +20% of the item's price. In the USA you'll remember they have a shown shelf price and then they add the VAT on at the checkout. But, in the UK, the price you see on the shelf always includes VAT so that's what you pay. We do have "road tax" too which we pay every year depending on the age, size and environmental impact etc of the vehicle. GCE btw, I believe is "General certificate of education". Replaced now by GCSE "general cert. of secondary education." Which is what you get from graduating high school. I got an D in art... "Legless": excessively drunk.
Benjamin Taylor-Yates
2025-03-22 20:53:31 +0000 UTCThis show like a lot of others gets better as it goes on but this one becomes a masterpiece by the 3rd or 4th series, the characters become very dear to you and as someone who grew up about 10 miles from where this is based it's uncanny how accurately the characters and side characters mirror people I've known even the wives of the characters make familiar couples. This is a snapshot of those times when the pub was the centre of the social culture in London and the rest of the country.
David Williams
2025-03-22 20:32:16 +0000 UTCI think this choice will make a lot of people happy. Well done! I don't know if you've watched the new seasons of Frasier, but Nicholas Lyndhurst (Rodney) plays Frasiers British friend and colleague, professor Cornwall. Side note: I thought the new seasons of Frasier were really disappointing compared to the originals. I didn't even finish watching the second season. This show has a somewhat strange place in my life because when I was a teenager, a friend of mine had a dad who was really obsessed with this show. He had this really romanticised view of the 'wheeler dealer' lifestyle and very much saw himself, and tried to model his life, as Delboy. Ultimately though, he was just a petty criminal and seriously toxic human being who I eventually disassociated myself from. He did do some nice things for me over the years, but in the end, the whole situation was pretty messed up as he'd try to incorporate me and my friends into his stupid little schemes. Looking back on it, it was an interesting time in my life that I could probably write a sitcom about. It was truly a bonkers time. He ended up getting deported back to England for some reason. Oh yeah, he was from England and moved to Australia to be closer to his son ,my friend, who lived here with his mum and step-dad. I don't know if he ever came back after being deported. I hope you enjoy this. You're going to learn a lot of slang and old references from this show. I might also quickly mention that David Jason (Delboy) is also in an older show with Ronnie Barker called Open All Hours, about a corner shop owner that you might like to check out sometime. Thanks for sharing! 🤗 Toodle-oo!
Stevus
2025-03-22 20:30:50 +0000 UTCYay! This is one of my all-time favourites and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you make of it 😊also I love the art teacher voice, that felt like it came from a place of real emotion! 😁
DriveIn
2025-03-22 19:52:42 +0000 UTCVAT is similar to sales tax on goods and services. Marks and Spencers (M&S) started with a market stall. Keep with this series, it gets better and better.
Jason Bonner
2025-03-22 19:50:14 +0000 UTCYou will find out why grandad has 2 TVs in a few episodes 🤣 Did you get some food after this? Was it a burger?
Josh Read
2025-03-22 18:37:15 +0000 UTCCan someone please get Mandy a translation list for Del's Dodgy french and cockney rhyming slang because I have a feeling she's gonna need one VAT Value Added Tax
Remi
2025-03-22 18:26:17 +0000 UTCJust as you liked Peep Show the further along it went, you will find the same with Only Fools and Horses too. The characters are more fleshed out, more characters are introduced, the writing gets better etc. One minute you’ll laugh and the next minute you’ll cry. I promise you. Wally/twonk/dipstick/plonker are all slang for “idiot”, in a somewhat lighthearted manner. To get “legless” is to get drunk. ie. where you drink so much that your legs don’t work properly. You didn’t understand when Del Boy said ‘The only people who missed that (pointing to the view) were the Luftwaffe’. The Luftwaffe was the German Air Force during WWII who did bombing raids on London and many other cities. Did I hear correctly that you don’t draw/create art any more?! 😱
(Just) Steve
2025-03-22 18:21:00 +0000 UTCStick with this show, it gets ALOOOT better
I-Love-My-Brick
2025-03-22 17:52:18 +0000 UTCA market barrow ("barrah" in London-speak...) is traditionally a flat-topped cart (like a 2m x 1.5 metre tabletop) with two wheels near the middle and two long handles at the back to push it along (and balance) it. There are wood or steel legs at one end to stop the thing tipping over once you reach your spot. The stuff you are selling (vegetables, household goods, even fish back in the day, etc) is on the flat top and sold off teh barrow. There is a picture of a very old and knackered one in the second shot of the show's intro.
BobSandwiches
2025-03-22 17:43:43 +0000 UTCWas not expecting this holy shit welcome to the REAL world of comedy Mandy you made the best choice possible
Remi
2025-03-22 16:57:09 +0000 UTCI agree, I was just messing 😊
Josh Read
2025-03-22 16:49:08 +0000 UTCThink you will find a wheel barrow normally has one wheel 🤓
Rob G
2025-03-22 16:44:14 +0000 UTCWasn’t expecting this one yet. Welcome to possibly the best written comedy show ever. Get ready to laugh and cry. There are quite a lot of emotional moments compared to most comedies. It takes a while to get going like most shows. Interesting what you said about doing one series at a time. I’d be ok with rotating shows. I don’t think OFAH needs to be binged. There is a bit of outdated language here and there, especially in the way Del describes women. Keep in mind it’s 40 years ago. Something to look out for. I don’t know how much French you know but… Del thinks he can speak French, but he gets it wrong every time. Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes you need to know what he said. We get taught French here.
Julian T
2025-03-22 15:06:46 +0000 UTCYEEEEEESSSSSSS! The show starts off slow, (it was actually in danger of being cancelled after 2 series due to low viewership and some upper class critics because in those days everyone who got on TV had to have a posh voice and this was one of the first main stream shows that showed the working class aka the poorer class of people, but it's audience grew and grew) it gets better and better each series. Also Grandad is their dad's dad so yeah their dad is not a nice person walking out on them and his own father.
JokerDanny
2025-03-22 15:01:11 +0000 UTCWell I wasn't expecting this
Sean Riley
2025-03-22 14:51:17 +0000 UTCIt's a good choice Mandy. It is indeed one of the classics and highly acclaimed, and though it's been a while since I watched it, I'll enjoy revisiting it with you. 🤗
Tony Mingoia
2025-03-22 14:37:09 +0000 UTCShe who dares wins. If that isn't too culturally inappropriate, mange tous. This is the first time I've revisited the show since its original airing, almost exclusively for the added Mandy content. Though like Father Ted this show also brings back early memories, my little brother was born when we lived in a tower block in London.
Kirk Deighton
2025-03-22 14:33:22 +0000 UTCI am delighted you're reacting to this, Mandy! Superb timing as Joel (ItsJPS) has just finished the whole show and his final reaction, saying goodbye to these characters 64 episodes and 22 years later (lots of gaps and the last few episodes were annual specials) was so moving. He was in tears (of joy for being introduced to the show and sadness at saying goodbye.) I really hope you do the whole show too, even though it is a long one and there are movie-length episodes in the mix later on too! 😃 You won't regret it and I just know your reactions are going to be amazing! 😃 The script by John Sullivan (the show's only writer throughout) is littered with British, more specifically Cockney slang. We'll translate some of this as it goes along! 😇 VAT - Value Added Tax. A consumption tax added to most goods sold. Certain exceptions, e.g. most food in supermarkets in the UK is VAT-exempt. "Legless" = drunk. Oyster milk is just the nickname for the creamy liquid inside an oyster. 😃 The show is very warm hearted and goes from silly to quite touching in a heartbeat. You'll notice that more and more, particularly in the later episodes. Series 1 (first 7 episodes) are quite low-key but it's amazing just how the show develops over the years. It really explodes in the best way. It's the same show later on but the writing just gets better and better and these are some of the most fleshed out characters in any sitcom ever! So glad you enjoyed this first episode! It does a great job setting the scene and I can't wait to watch this show again with you , Mandy! 🙏
Ash Jeffries
2025-03-22 14:28:31 +0000 UTCYes, Great choice. Just to let you know first season is hit and miss gets good from the second season when they get into the groove of it Hope you enjoy it Mandy you PLONKER 🤣
Secret
2025-03-22 14:27:03 +0000 UTCIt took her over 2 years to finish Peep Show and this is even longer! So I think I'm being generous 😅
Danny
2025-03-22 14:20:30 +0000 UTCRODNEY YOU PLONKER!!!!!!
Samuel Coghlan-White
2025-03-22 14:12:44 +0000 UTCYou don't even need to guess the combination on those briefcases, they're clearly not top quality and I've never encountered a combination briefcase which wasn't really easy to bypass. I learnt how to when I was 6 or 7 because I wanted to know what my brother was hiding in one. The opening slide tends to move the the wheels to the side a bit when they're in the wrong position so it's easy to work out what the combination is pretty quickly.
irreverend
2025-03-22 13:57:14 +0000 UTCA few things: "Classic" is the word haha. Good to hear you're getting more hours in, don't feel guilty on our account. Tho I know you can't wait to get home and make stuff. 😁 "Experience needed" 😡 not many fond memories there for me. All wanting it but not willing to give it. It's incredibly difficult for college students to get jobs now. Took me 4 months, I think collectively I applied to 36ish bottom of the barrel jobs, did at least 6 interviews. Thank god for McDonald's. "Where is the teet on an oyster?" 🤣😭 That one got me. Hahahah

Josh Read
2025-03-22 13:47:55 +0000 UTCMandy we all know you have a great eye for details, including noticing boom mics. It is going to be interesting to see if you can pick up on some of the background and furniture changing in the flat.
AWR93
2025-03-22 13:42:02 +0000 UTCThe joke about Trigger looking like a horse is something to do with his haircut making him look like the horse Roy Rogers rode at the time which was called Trigger. I think. Roy Rogers was a famous TV cowboy at the time
irreverend
2025-03-22 13:30:55 +0000 UTCI estimate it will take 2 years to finish
Danny
2025-03-22 13:29:34 +0000 UTCOr sales tax as an American would say.
Jeffrey44
2025-03-22 13:26:51 +0000 UTCDerek 'The Del Boy' Trotter is a French speaking small time criminal. Rodney 'The Plonker' Trotter is his educated younger brother who also appeared in Frasier. Grandad is an old man who lives with them. He likes television and cooking food for the two brothers. He is the father of Del and Rodney's father. Trigger is a wally. A wally is a foolish person. Boycie is a man. He will appear in future episodes. "Only fools and horses work" is a phrase meaning if you are smart, you don't need to work for a living. Simply start a reaction channel. I think most people in 2025 probably don't know the phrase or if they ever did probably associate it more with the programme now. This all takes place in a town or city called London. The bit of it that is called Peckham. I'm sure someone else can explain what a plonker and a dipstick are. This programme contains some racist terms, a few references to the Falklands War and/or Argentina and typical social attitudes of the time, so look out for those. I hope you enjoy it. It gets better as it progresses. You should take note of the broadcast dates because some episodes take place long after the previous one. It run for a long time but wasn't on air constantly.
Jeffrey44
2025-03-22 13:21:21 +0000 UTCI'm fairly sure wheelbarrows have 1 wheel Mandy :) But I think their use of barrow there might be an archaic London slang, because the only thing I can think of they mean is a portable stall for selling things from, which I wouldn't call a barrow
irreverend
2025-03-22 13:17:49 +0000 UTCVAT = value added tax. All none essential items have this. In uk it’s currently 20%
Alex W
2025-03-22 13:15:26 +0000 UTCVAT is value added tax
