I really like Spicks and Specks! I watched it when I was in Australia this summer/southern winter, and it was on on Wednesday nights, where there was just like an hour and a half of telly programmes in a row about how great people are and how much fun they might have if they all hung out being nice to each other, not competing or being bitchy/cruel, and making jokes which were not about rape, race/racism, homophobia, ableism, etc. It made me very happy. And also! A girl team captain just as if it was normal for girls to know things about music! I never saw that on Never Mind the Buzzcocks (not that I watched it after the first couple of seasons, mind, and at that time I was going out with a muso boy who had SPECIAL BOY POWERS OF MUSIC KNOWLEDGE - the second in a row, I was really crap at choosing boy partners, hence my eventual fleeing into the Republic of Lesbitania - so he may have tainted it for me rather.)
