I just watched 'fish tank'. Liked it. Any others out there worth a watch? Lemme know. No gangster movies though unless they are especially good. Cheers.

Don't you lol at me. People have killed themselves over Balamory because it was "too real".

You can also try Full Monty. It's a comedy but has real criticism of the impact of de-industrialisation and the lack of help they people it affects are given. The first two seasons of Skins was alright, but it got shit and narmy afterwards.

Actually I can't stand you.
You do make good comic relief though, TG.
