🎉 THE FINAL VOTE IS HERE! 🎉
The suggestion round is officially complete, and this one was HUGE!
More than 300 people submitted recommendations, so thank you to everyone who took the time to send in the shows you most want us to watch next. ❤️
We went through everything, combined duplicate spellings and alternate titles, checked the series lengths, and removed anything that didn’t fit the criteria.
For this round, we allowed:
✨ 6 series or fewer
✨ 6 series + specials
✨ A little flexibility for shows with more than 6 listed series if some of those series were only 1–3 episodes long
To keep the final vote from becoming overwhelming, only shows that received 15 or more suggestions moved on.
That leaves us with 12 finalists.
And now it’s completely up to you.
🔥 Vote for the show YOU most want us to watch. 🔥
Don’t worry about what looks popular.
Don’t let other people’s choices sway you.
Don’t try to game the result.
Pick the one you genuinely want to see us react to the most.
⏰ Voting closes at 12 PM BST on the 30th
Thank you again to everyone who took part in the suggestion round!
Now let’s see which show wins!

Ahh not The Office please!!!
The Office and One Foot in the Grave..... If Men Behaving Badly could be put on a list at some point that would be great... hardly any seem to know its existence... It was a big show out in 90s .
No matter the winner there's a lot of quality shows on the list which I'm sure you'll enjoy.
The Office is a great show... but I can't imagine it very good to react to as it's all cringe comedy rather than laugh out loud funny. So if this wins as it appears to be doing, Id be interested to see how the reactions go.
Oh dear. Porridge, like Fawlty Towers, still gets aired on mainstream TV! The office will win, but it rarely appears on mainstream TV, and I find it boring as hell!
That hasn't been a yardstick for a long time. It's on iplayer, so people can watch it whenever they want. Who even watches traditional TV any more? Why would you wait for a show to be re-broadcast on scheduled telly when you can watch it whenever you want.
Goodnight sweetheart 😍
Goodnight Sweetheart: only the first season is worth bothering IT Crowd: now highly controversial Derry Girls: you will need captions to understand it OFITG: a long and quite depressing slog Sherlock: almost impossible to put on youtube
IT Crowd is 'highly controversial'? Whatever. Jog on
The office finally!! ❤️
Hey, got to be LOG 😀😀
I'll die on this hill until Goodnight Sweetheart gets a chance XD I never liked the UK Office sadly.
I'm not surprised at the current frontrunner,but I'm surprised porridge is higher than IT Crowd right now.
The main demographic on this channel is older men, so they vote for what they like and not fir what they think Taylor and Steve would like
It's a good list, personally just glad league,porridge,spaced,sherlock are even in the mix.
Can not believe White Gold is not an option! Has Jay and Simon from the Inbetweeners and the same writers. It is soo good.
No surprise here but i went for Porridge. A classic 70’s sitcom with the great Ronnie Barker
What a great list. Happy whatever wins 🥳
if The League of Gentlemen is an option in a poll then it gets my vote every time. But of course it was never going to win as it's perceived as a little too twisted and dark for a lot of folk. IAF it's a fucking gem that superbly takes the piss out of movies and shows that are all dark and twisty - and deserves so much more praise and attention than it gets. But herein lies a problem with the poll route. it's the big names that are more likely to get the votes. Just like they did and/or will do when other reactors surveyed their followers. So everyone ends up doing the same things. For Stephen and Taylor it makes total sense to choose the shows this way as what's the point in reacting to shows that no one wants to see? But could you choose a series now and then by spinning the wheel? I know you do for the one-offs but do you for the longer series? You'd be giving the underdogs a much better chance - and at the same time create something that's a little more fresh and stand-out for the channel* Sorry I'm waffling here but I would just LOVE you guys to try even just the first ep of TLOG lol *This channel is totally fresh and stand-out already of course, but I'm sure S&T are keen to react to relatively untouched works that folk can't find in (m)any other places as well as the old favourites
Yeah we actually talked for a long time about wanting to do something like that but don’t know if it would upset people by us taking one of their votes away. We also talked about just doing a vote with those sort of more unique types of shows - like last vote we did non-comedy, this one could be any kind of genre but a maybe less mainstream/popular/not-the-obvious choice type shows. I actually wanted to do that this vote but we thought we’d better open it up to everything to make more people more happy since last vote had a stipulation to theme.
No love for Peter Kay's Car Share?
It go a few recommendations but not enough to make it to the vote.
Porridge might surprise you
It wont. It starts of okay then falls of a cliff.
I think you'd like The New Statesman just because you get to watch Rik be a massive dick all over again lol
Nah that was not a very successful show, wasn't his work by a long shot
Green Wing
Looks like the office will win so another reaction I won’t watch tried this show a few years ago I didn’t get through 20 minutes
The good news is, if it does win, it’s only 2 series so it’ll be over pretty quick.
It's like the grand national, come on porridge
Genuinely the only thing on this list I like is The Mighty Boosh lol
Hopefully eventually people will get to see you react to their choice. Good luck everyone 🤞
There are shows here that I don't like but that I think you would like more than some of the shows I like. But I really do think you'll love The IT Crowd and The Office. The IT Crowd's more surreal episodes will be fine for you after Darkplace! I like Porridge from a nostalgic point of view, but I'm not convinced you would love it. It's quite gag heavy, in that 70-80s sitcom style, and they don't still all land at all. Let the 'best' show win!
Same old same old.
The Office. Second only to Fawlty Towers in my opinion. Extras is also fantastic, by the same guys, as they have some big name celebrities showing up. That would be a great reaction.
Would be interesting to see the age of the membership, via a poll perhaps?
Stephen did post the demographics from YouTube viewers, mostly old men.
Oh my lord, this isn't easy!. I wish you saw the percentages before the vote so I could choose the one I like that's most likely to win 🤣
You can change it.
With regards to Porridge, it's as essential viewing in terms of classic comedy as Fawlty Towers. The film is also very good 👍 Oh there is also a pilot episode called 'Prisoner and Escort' a lot of people miss this one, but it's one of the best. Besides that, The League of Gentleman is a very special series and I really really hope you see one day. Why more people aren't voting for that is beyond me
Prisoner and Escort is a pilot episode to Porridge?
I really would love The Office to win. It's my favourite tv show of all time and its iconic and just genius comedy writing. Gervais and Merchant together is the best. I really want to watch along with them, would love them to love it as much as I do.
Can't believe Eastenders didn't make it onto the list.
🤣💯
That familiar sense of unease whenever Gavin and Stacey sticks its head above the parapet...
God, not The Office again.
I know. :/
Porridge is charming but not massively funny.
Is it cheating to start a campaign for One Foot in the Grave? It’s the BEST sitcom ever!
would like to finally see a One Foot in The Grave come up once with any reactor but people vote weird. Cos of the low vote i have to switch to the office UK then cos I know thats actually good out the rest 👍
Brad and Lucy do OFITG.
Porridge is worth it just to see the comedy acting of Ronnie Barker as Fletcher. He just has that career criminal manner down to a tee. As good as David Jason imo
So many great shows! Have to cast my vote for the Boosh even if it stands no chance. The League of Gentlemen and Spaced deserve a chance too. Curse you, democracy!
Nighty Night could be a contender if you like the dark, weird vibe of TLOG.
Can I offer few suggestions to help with future polls? You can ignore all of it, it's just my two cents. I would keep comedy and non-comedy polls separate cause you're probably always going to get a comedy winning any poll featuring them. I know you made a non-comedy poll recently, which I think was a great idea. And I would also split the comedy show polls into pre-2000 and post 2000. Just so newer comedies get a chance. I think a lot of subscribers are 50 plus, and so, the older comedies are probably going to win out over more modern ones, even though there's funny shows in both camps. It's basically our own version of Seinfeld vs Brooklyn 99. lol. Seinfeld has a built in advantage, even though plenty people like both.
League of Gentlemen is in a "league" of it's own in this list. Funny, dark, creepy, harrowing even. Originally on the radio, as I said, completely all encompassing compared to the others. Porridge, like Fawlty Towers, is an all time classic though. TLOG FTW.
Oh dear we devolved back into comedies again. The only 2 on the list offering something a little different is Sherlock and Line of duty. Went for Sherlock, still funny but mainly mystery genre.
Black books never stood a chance 😢
I love The League of Gentlemen but I can't imagine a reaction to that going well. It's very "out there".
Team Derry Girls. It won’t win though so better luck next time 🤣👌🏽
I voted for it. Modern and funny.
I can't believe Porridge has that many votes. Very much an older person show, I'd say, also just not that good. But then, I love the Mighty Boosh, which I imagine the Porridge demographic may not. I'm just going to shut my eyes and pick something.
Probably reflects the age of a lot of subscribers?. I've never seen it myself. It's before my time. I've no idea if its any good or not. I do wish that in general though, that people suggested and voted for shows they think reactors would enjoy and not just shows they did, decades ago. I feel bad for reactors who get these shows picked . Many are quite dated and even younger Brits would struggle to get into, because they're not only dated but sometimes so cultural they're hard for non-locals to get. Like The Royle Family.
One day IT Crowd definitely, but not yet. I've seen too many reactions to it lately. My money is on a classic golden oldie, "Porridge". You can't beat the legend Ronnie "the Governor" Barker, and you can't make a comedy in a prison. "There's nothing funny or amusing about prison Fletcher! It's a cruel, demoralising grind." "Yes Mr Mackay. How is the wife?"
Voted for LoG. I've never watched Mighty Boosh so I'd be interested to watch that for the first time along with you. Spaced would've been my third choice, liked it back then but have never rewatched it.
Porridge is a national treasure but The Office has more laugh out loud moments and The IT Crowd doesn't look like it's going to win (just because many others have reacted to it doesn't justify depriving T&S of enjoying it too)
Genuinely, picking my kids name was easier than picking one of these
As your listing non-comedies here, I would love to see This is England film then the 3 series given a go.
Oh no, porridge and the office are neck and neck, the office is the WORST thing Ricky Gervais has done, it's so bad that rntv has done it.
I've never heard anyone say The Office is the worst thing Gervais has done. In fact it's always the opposite. I mean, that's the hot take of all hot takes right there, considering the absolute pig swill the guy churns out these days.
Goodnight Sweetheart, such an underrated gem.
I was torn between this and One Foot in the Grave, which I eventually went for. Both you don't see much of any more.
Ooooooo such a choice! I hope the loseres stay on the poll for the next time...TLOG is hard to beat, but Porridge though...sitcom genius.
PORRIDGE. . IT HAS TO BE PORRIDGE. The office? Nooooooooooo . The worse of Ricky's comedys. Derick good . After Life good . The office nah . You'll kick yourself if PORRIDGE doesn't win .. Oh well Your choice !! Don't say I didn't warn you
I'm getting the word...
The Office' 12 episodes and a christmas special would take us perfectly up to Christmas in real time (I think..) which would be a cool thing and therefore has my vote
Yeah. I was gonna vote for LoG or Mighty Boosh; but I think the Office would be a safer bet first. Before them.
This is my first Patreon post. Literally only signed up for you two. It needs to be Porridge!
Happy first Patreon post! Glad you’re here with us ❤️
Im gonna go porridge Ronnie Barker is a comedy legend who i feel is unknown by the younger generation. I'm surpised open all hours isn't on here. ❤️😊
Open All Hours would be my preference of the two. Plus they get to see a young David Jason then and Lynda Baron.
The office uk and the IT crowd are by far the best shows on that list😄💯, if either of those win you will love'em. Porridge has a few good episodes at the start by falls off quickly.
🙈
Please not Porridge or the IT crowd! I don't dislike porridge but find it very one nota and hard to sit through, and the IT crowd is just another bland modern comedy name to me.
So what do you suggest then? All your comments are bloody complaints!
Completely missed the suggestion request for this one 🤷
Oh no, it was up for just over 3 days 😂😭
Wow, surprised to see porridge with such a huge percentage. I didn't realise the average age around here was so old.
Oh don't worry petal, there are a few arrogant dicks that are still wet behind the ears, but I guess someone has to educate them.
Everyone hating on IT Crowd, it's my comfort show 😭 Also S & T need to see Matt Berry, Richard Ayoade outside of Dark Place and Chris Morris outside of Brass Eye ☺️ x
It crowd gets my vote. They liked father ted. I think they'd love the it crowd
One of the many things I love about you guys is that you have steered away from the Ricky Gervais fest that other reactors have embarked on. Love to see Line of Duty win, proper police drama but my vote is for Porridge, purely to try stop the office winning 🤣
Porridge is about as interesting as it's name. I don't hate it, but couldn't actually name a single episode.
Still amazed...no men behaving badly
Have you seen that show lately it has aged badly
Porridge for me. Agree with Jack, that everyone and their Mum has reacted to many of the options on the list, while Porridge tends to get overlooked. You're always saying how you like to do things a bit differently from other reaction channels, so I think it would be a good choice.
We do like to be a bit different! The “popular” shows will always be reacted to at some point, but I always hope a less-reacted to show wins. Lets people watch something different.
Happy spaced made the list😁😁shocked open all hours didnt David Jason's awesome show before only fools!
I’ve got everything crossed that porridge wins. Absolute classic.
me too, but anything other than more gervaise, im sick of the sight of him
I'm not a big fan of the office it's boring and I wanted to vote for goodnight sweetheart but it looks like I'm going to have to vote for porridge so I can vote against the office I might have to change my vote later
It’s only day one of the vote, and very early in the morning. Most people aren’t awake and haven’t voted yet. It could change a fair amount.
I’ve switched twice now between Porridge and The Office Uk! You’re twisting my melon man! 🤔❤️
Eenie meenie minie moe
(Polite) You missed a final 3 second live family photograph at the end of the last Only Fools and Horses. 👍🙂. Just letting you know, you don't have to watch it 👍🙂
Someone did let us know right away and we went back and looked at it. Missed it in the reaction, but we did see it (late). Thank you for letting us know.
I'll buy everyone a drink if we get league of Gentleman
Even us?
hopefully derry girls or league of gentlemen wins but goodluck all
League of gentlemen is crazy, faf but crazy, its only in the uk that such madness is made and appreciated for that madness, if Taylor thinks dark place is surreal, she ain't seen anything yet
❤️ ONE QUICK NOTE ABOUT SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS A few shows came up during the recommendation round that we wanted to mention because one or both of us have already seen them, so unfortunately they won’t ever be able to become blind reaction series on the channel: • Peaky Blinders • Clarkson’s Farm • Lost • Prison Break • Ozark • Dexter • The Haunting of Hill House • The Expanse • Stranger Things • Midnight Mass We also saw Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace and Blackadder suggested... we’ve actually already reacted to both of those on the channel! You silly billies! 😂 So if you ever notice one of these getting suggestions but not appearing in a final vote, that’s why. That definitely doesn’t mean we can’t talk about them, though! If you’re a fan of any of these shows, feel free to bring them up in the chats...we’re always happy to talk about shows we’ve watched. ☺️
You watched Clarkson’s Farm without me! How could you?!
I'm praying that it's NOT the it crowd 🙏, every man and his dog has done it crowd, i haven't known anyone do the classic porridge
I think it's going to be a difficult one for a lot of people.
Ok I've voted. First vote. The League of Gentlemen winning by a landslide 100%. It's over. Might as well close the poll.
😂
Good fuckin luck, yall 😂
😂😂😂
