Help me identify these British TV shows

Saw both of these (6?) years ago on a trip to Europe, and don’t know the title of either. One was a sitcom (might have actually seen this on TV in France, but it was definitely British) about some young-ish roommates, one of whom (a male) had agoraphobia. That’s all I can remember, except that I found it pretty hilarious at the time.

The other was a cartoon sitcom that I saw in Amsterdam (though it was also British) - the only pertinent details I can remember were some guy owned a mule that he gave drugs to in order to turn him into a racehorse, and during the big race the mule/horse did a slo-mo jump over a hurdle and then exploded in mid-air. I can’t recall laughing at an episode of TV so much (though my trip to the “coffee shop” no doubt helped).

Skimpy, I know, but anybody got a clue?

I’d be surprised if this wasn’t Game On.

Exactly so! Thanks, Chez! Was the show well-regarded in the UK?

I found it somewhat like the curate’s egg.

Some episodes were pretty funny but others, not so much. The agoraphobia joke wore thin for me after a while but the lovely Samantha Janus was always worth a look. I preferred Neil Stuke to Ben Chaplin as Matthew but others may wish to disagree. I’d place it in the second rank of worthy sitcoms.

My SO loved it. I can’t speak for the rest of the population. :slight_smile:

The cartoon could possibly be I Am Not an Animal? I don’t remember too much about it myself, except Steve Coogan voiced one of the main characters and it had a weird sort of animation style. It was pretty funny, ISTR.

Possibly, though that doesn’t quite sound like the show I saw, which seemed to be more about a bumbling Homer Simpson-type father than the actual animals.
