How did you all first learn about the original Numberwang? Netflix?

  I knew the Mitchell and Webb duo from _The Peep Show_ and one day (long before the pandemic) I saw a comment on Slashdot about working from home linking to this sketch: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_DNpTMKXk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_DNpTMKXk
  Then I watched that show and learned about Numberwang.

  I was forced to watch their atrocious sketch show while waiting in someone's house before we departed for the local pub.

    Aren't Helping isn't amazing but Look is generally very solid

  Some of us aren't American! (Or young)
  In the UK we watched it on the Beeb when it was aired.

    Any thoughts on the latest seasons of Doctor Who?

  Some Mitchell and Webb sketches are posted on youtube.
