Remember Friday nights when you were little

You’d get to stay up late and you’d watch Red Dwarf/Have I Got News For You and your mum and dad would be getting pissed

Used to watch Gimme Gimme Gimme with my mum after coming home from Boys Brigade then when I was a bit older we’d get a Local Indian and watch stuff like My Family and They Think It’s All Over before Jonathan Ross.

Got told off for laughing at a Have I Got News For You joke once, like it was somehow my fault.

Literally can’t think think of anything worse to do as a family than walk round a supermarket. Get in, get it done quick, get out. Definition of a solo family job if there ever was

Comedy on channel 4 but sometimes BBC2 when Fast Show was on, parents having beers and snacks, kids joining in with soft drinks once they got old enough and staying up one extra timeslot of programming the older they got.

Older sister experienced it first and reported back a whole new world of adult sophistication (ie swears on TV and parents gently falling asleep to the Father Ted closing credits) and I was super jealous waiting for my time to come.

Once I’d made it to King of The Hill I felt like I’d made it as an adult, and in many ways superseded my elders.

Then I got too old for it all and was able to go hang out with my mates instead, but those few years were halcyon days.
