    I really would like to know if any fellow Americans out there are as obsessed with these Channel 4 shows and specifically James Acaster as I am. I found James through his 4 episode Netflix special two years ago and really, really enjoyed it. To the point where a whole genre of my youtube feed is James Acaster videos. However, he has a criminally low amount of content on streaming, two specials and one is only available to buy. I need more like yesterday! If anyone has any suggestions of perhaps overlooked British stand ups like James, or know of some underground Acaster content, please feel free to chime in! All that to say, the British own comedy television and game shows and it's not close.

    James could've gone somewhere with the circle thing. I just think he couldn't be bothered to explain it.

    Jessica Knappett shouldn't be relegated to voicing ads & making appearances on lame game shows. Had Drifters been popular, she'd be doing much better than she is. Why wasn't Drifters popular? It's a female twentysomething Inbetweeners & is just as good.

      Isn't Knappett on Judge Romesh? Unless you're calling that a lame game show

      UK is a small market. Not many opportunities there. I think she has done well enough. I’m from Canada and I know who she is, and admire her and her work.

    I love him so much, I as misbehaving 44 yr old relate to him so much. 😅 But to my defence, my whole family is like that. My 65-70 yr old teenaged uncles are a proof of that. My great great grandfather was so misbehaved that my great great grandmother eventualydivorced him for it, and her family really disliked him because of his naught joking behaviour.
