Which channel was inside no 9 on? Am always looking for good stuff to watch. Have finished House of Cards and Better Call Saul so feeling a bit bereft.

So did I. I like all black comedy, as you do get a better portrayal of life as it really is. Most of life, I find, ridiculous. We are born, we live and we die so let's have a laugh.

I was wondering where Nurse had gone this week. That was a short run - very good though.

I love Inside No.9 and am a great fan of Sheersmith and Pemberton. I really liked Psychoville.

I have seen the actor who plays the nurse before, but in bit parts of other dramas. She seems type cast to anxious characters. Must look up her name! x

Nurse, BBC 2 Tuesdays 10 pm, marvellous, very poignant, so well observed, and yes, very moving. I've never seen the woman before who plays the nurse. She is also extremely good, plays the role so well. I've always admired Paul Whitehouse, do you remember The Fast Show? Some brilliant characters in that, every sketch was so funny, hard to pick a favourite

I should have said Nurse is on BBC 2, I watched it on I player, so I don't know what time. There have been 4 episodes, that might be all there is for the time being.

There has been praise from mental health professionals for the way the illness has been portrayed. I found it very moving. x

Yes J52 I watch "Nurse", like many of Paul Whitehouse programmes very clever, and poignant at times. He's funny and a marvellous character actor at the same time, his portrayals are very well drawn. I'm sorry to have missed Inside No 9, must try and catch up with it on BBC Iplayer.

I will look up this, Paul Whitehouse very talented.

Is anybody watching 'Nurse'? Paul Whitehouse, another brilliant series. Bitter/sweet observations. x

Gosh-sounds so good. I must seek it out. Thanks!

This is tv at its best. I was actually moved to tears (and I am a hardened old bat) by the Sheridan Smith story and was creased with laughter at the couchette one. Wonderful

I am a fan too, absolutely fantastic. Last night's final twist was a real shock, I did not see that coming at all. I am full of admiration for both of them, so talented and versatile.

I meant before the ending, not that I didn't understand it. grin x

I also enjoy this series, the twists at the end are brilliant. I did't work out the latest one! x

I love it too Jo. We enjoyed the first series although some of them are quite dark!

Just watched two episodes back to back. Absolutely brilliant,
