They aren't strict. Just try to keep posts on topic of 90s TV, and of course decade appropriate.

I used to watch this on PBS in the 90s, it stars Lenny Henry. If you liked 'The Bear' I think you may also like this.

Someone has posted clips from various episodes (just so you can get a taste):

The writing + Lenny Henry's delivery was on point. I still crack up re-watching all of those insults he delivers to his kitchen staff and the waiters

Favourite quote was Everton reading the newspaper headline, after Gareth was caught on film berrating his staff
"BBC Bosses Ban Bollicking Blackstock!" 🤣🤣🤣
