Brilliant TV show. So watchable and never gets boring. For anyone who loves cop shows this is one of the best
NCIS (TV Series 2003
Another great cop TV show
Cast are so likeable and you don't need to keep up with each programme to understand what is happening as each programme is different. Love it so much
Criminal Minds (TV Series 2005
Absolutely brilliant quiz show. So watchable and great presenter. So easy to get involved and really gets your mind working
Lingo (TV Series 2021
Really fun to watch TV quiz. Ben shepherd is so easy to watch and a great presenter. Great to get involved with answering the questions too
Tipping Point (TV Series 2012
Absolutely fantastic TV show. Judge Judy really knows her stuff and can be very funny too. Great to see judge Judy showing people up to be liars and giving them a piece of her mind
Judge Judy
Have watched every series and every programme of Frasier many many times. It never gets boring and always has a great and funny plot. All great characters and actors
Frasier (TV Series 1993–2004)
An oldie but a goodie. Still very watchable today. Great, funny episodes. Characters and actors are brilliant. Could watch each episode over and over again
Steptoe and Son (TV Series 1962–1974)
Another great cop TV series. Every episode is different but so so good. Love all the characters and actors. Never gets boring. For anyone who loves anything to do with law, this is a great TV series to watch
Law & Order (TV Series 1990
This was an amazing TV show in it's day. So entertaining and I wish they would bring it back
The Jeremy Kyle Show (TV Series 2005–2020)
Absolutely love this show. I love taking part at home with making words from the letter sna also trying to get the answer when it comes to the numbers game. The conundrum I don't do as well with but still fun to take part

I absolutely adored reading this book as a child and read it more times than I can remember. If I had a copy now I would most definitely read it again. I really recommend if you have children, this should be in your collection
Charlotte's Web: 70th Anniversary Ed.
This was my favourite book as a child and I read it well over 100 times
Such a great plot and I still love reading into this day. A must read no matter what age you are
Matilda : Dahl, Roald, Blake, Quentin
I'm not usually the biggest fan of movies that have been made from books, bit they got this one spot on. Amazing cast and the acting was brilliant
They stuck to the plot of the book too, which alot of the times they don't. Amazing!!
Matilda (1996)
My favourite movie as a child and could still watch it today
Have watched it hundreds of times and know the words off by heart as well as all the songs. The best Disney movie ever made
The Little Mermaid (1989)
Great TV quiz show. Always something different and not too easy which I love. Great host too, so really easy to watch
Tenable (TV Series 2016–2024)
Absolutely amazing show. Gordon Ramsey is so good at what he does but also has a great sense of humour. Not for the easily offended as Gordon likes to sweat, but it is amazing how he is able to turn around even the worst eateries
Watch Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares
This was one of my favourite TV series back in the day. It was so real and funny and easy to watch . It's a shame they didn't last but was great at the time
Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica (TV Series 2003–2005)
I love the whole premise of this show. It is different to other quiz shows as the winner is the one with the lowest score, not the highest. There are always lots of different categories and questions and it's really fun to take part at home, trying t...
Pointless (TV Series 2009
Really really funny TV show. Loved every episode and can rewatch over and over again. Amazing cast and acting. Would recommend to anyone who loves comedies
Father Ted (TV Series 1995–1998)
Dawn french as the vicar of Dibley was absolutely brilliant in this show
Amazing jokes and so much laughter and fun. Great for all the family too. Wish they would bring this back
The Vicar of Dibley (TV Series 1994–2020)
Amazing TV show made here in Northern Ireland. It was set in the troubles and was very true to history and present day. Loved all the jokes and the more serious matters. Great cast and great acting by all. Lisa magee the writer of this did a fantasti...
Derry Girls (TV Series 2018–2022)
This was the original Gordon Ramsey show that started it all. It's a great watch and I can see why Gordon Ramsey did so well from this. He really knows his stuff and he helped so many people do well as chefs
Hell's Kitchen (TV Series 2005
This is a great show, especially as a dog lover. They really help so many people with terribly behaved dogs. It's great to see the change. And it's also great to get hints and tips if you see anything that coincides with your own situation
Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly - Season 1
This is an absolute classic which I first read over 20 years ago. I think everyone should read this book at least once in their life time
They will not be disappointed. Really well written with a great plot/story
Black Beauty
This has got to be one of the best kids books ever. I read this as a young child and it has really stood the test of time as I read it to both of my kids who are now adults too. It's a must have for every childhood
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Board Book
This is such a fun, easy to watch, family friend TV quiz show. Rylan is brilliant as the presenter. Really funny and if I had the chance I would love to go on. Shopping and a quiz show in one, what more could anyone want?
Supermarket Sweep - Watch Episode
If you're anything like me and love either popping pimples or watching them be popped then this is the show for you. I know it seems strange but I just can't get enough of watching pimples and cysts being popped. Keeps me entertained for hours
Dr. Pimple Popper
Another great show if you love watching people have cysts, lipomas etc being removed. The doctors are all really empathetic and lovely on this show and people also go away really happy, so not only do I get to watch the messy parts, it's lovely to se...
Skin A&E - Season 2 - Episode 1 / ...
Great book and movie
Where the Crawdads Sing (2022)
First of all, Adam Sandler is in this, so you know it's going to be a great movie. This has got to be one for the funniest films I have ever seen. The jokes are so subtle at times, but still hilarious. It's a real laugh out loud movie. Great for all ...
Happy Gilmore (1996)
This is another classic Adam Sandler movie. Absolutely hilarious. Definitely more one for the adults though with the type of humour
Great cast and acting and really really funny
The Waterboy (1998)
This was one of my favourite shows as a child. I loved all the animals. It was well written and beautifully illustrated and even watching it today, so many years later it has stood the test of time. Whether you have young kids or not, I highly recomm...
The Animals of Farthing Wood (TV Series 1993–1995)
