What is an old show you think is great and really doesn’t get mentioned enough? Why should someone watch it?

    I’d like to recommend GBH , a dramedy series from the early 90s starring Robert Lindsay as a corrupt politician and Michael Palin as a head of a school for special needs children who end up clashing.

    But it’s more than that. Lindsay’s character is deeply mentally messed up in more ways than one, and seeing his character slowly unfold and his background revealed is really well done. Palin’s family life is also well done, and his stubborness in the face of even the secret service getting involved is well acted.

    I couldn’t really do it justice without writing an essay, there’s so much going on with this one.

    But it’s funny, serious, eerie, very surreal in places… I’d very much recommend it.
