STARTING Friday, 2 November, find out what Harith Recommends you should watch!  Keep coming back every week – there will be new drops of his favourite programmes every week. Harith’s first list of recommendations drops on 2 November, and this is what he thinks you should watch: Harith Recommends

Got Science?

A science magazine series presented by Harith himself, which explores and explains the science in everyday life using reason, logic, and rationale. Ever wondered why durians smell so bad, or why mosquitoes like to bite certain kinds of people? Chances are, it’s got science!

The Office

Award-winning brilliance and cringe-makingly funny ‘mocusoap’ set in a paper merchants in the heart of middle England. David Brent is a lower-middle-ranking manager in charge of a lower-middle-ranking office. His workplace is the antithesis of TV’s glossy law firms full of bright professionals. Instead of mutual respect and intelligent dialogue, David’s office is a place of backfiring practical jokes, failed flirting and bad showing off. 

Fawlty Towers

Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) is a much put-upon, hard-working hotel manager whose life is plagued by dead guests, hotel inspectors and riff-raff. Of course his biggest headache is his 'little nest of vipers' - his nagging wife Sibyl. Together they run their hotel, Fawlty Towers, with a little help from the unflappable Polly, and Manuel, the trainee waiter from Barcelona with marginally more intelligence than a monkey.

Blackadder

Many great men have played a part in shaping Britain's noble heritage. Others have just ended up on the dungheap. Men like Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson). From coward to cad and back again, Edmund surfaces in the medieval, Tudor, Georgian, Dickensian and World War I eras, where he seriously lowers the tone with an assortment of cunning plans, serpentine banter and his smelly servant, Baldric.
