Catastrophe and Fleabag look at Quaker meetings

Catastrophe and Fleabag have caught on to the comedic potential of the Quaker meeting. It's always nice to see your background reflected on-screen, but it's even better when it's shown as 'sexy'.

Why Catastrophe is one of the decade's best TV series

More than anything, Catastrophe recognises that the daily slog - of laundry, carpool and grocery shopping, of sleepless nights and too-early mornings, of never having a moment to yourself - is worth it anyway. That all of it is pretty great.

When did television become so explicit about sex? If you're not given to watching Channel 4 after 10pm, then recently you might have missed Pure, The Bisexual and Catastrophe - which would be a pity, as they are all superb. And then there is BBC Three's Fleabag, which returns for a second season next week.
