openName of a series or sitcom where an episode revolved around a murder mystery game night Live Action TV
The episode I remember involves a group coming over to the house of their boss(?) and having a murder mystery game night where one of them is the killer. Each person also played a character (I think the characters they played where other people in the group besides them), the "killer" needed to stick a sticker on a person to "kill" them. I remember a guy and a girl team up to kill the rest of the group, I think they were romantically involved. At the end of the episode, the boss/host of the game night kicks everyone out to spend time with his wife/girlfriend but finds the one his friends stayed over but then kicks him out as well.
openA specific scene Live Action TV
There was this female character that while sitting on top of a washing machine or something of similar height, said "if I told you the kind of men I'm into it wouldn't sound like a compliment", to another female friend- in relation to fat, ugly or similarly traditionally unattractive men, considering that there might have been a fat character fitting that description this girl was currently being set up with (not actually "set up" like by friends, it was just that their scenes together implied this attraction). These women have been discussing their love lives, and I think the character I quote was a side character while her friend was a more central character if not the lead. It was a laid-back show, possibly a comedy though not a sitcom, about these young adult characters. I don't remember the original country of the series (actually it might also have been a movie but that's far less likely considering I rarely watch movies) but it was (obviously) in english. I remember liking this show so it should've been a nice show, if that helps jolt anyone's memory lol Anyways thanks for reading so far, i hope you remember but have a nice day even if you didn't!

openFrustrated Live Action TV
So I’ve had this in my head for a couple of days now. I’m sure it’s a fairly recent series. I remember there being a male/female assassin duo. I think the male was a big black guy, I think the female ended up getting close to the person they were sent to kill. Then they got instructions to turn on each other. I seem to remember the female overpowering the male and having him tied up in the motel bathroom. They both wore suits. I think a female cop got killed because she didn’t wait for her partner.
Can anyone please help, this is really bugging me.
Thanks in advance

openDark comedy show episode Live Action TV
It's a dark comedy show. Fairly recent, maybe made after 2015? Might be a BBC show, not sure. A girl goes to wedding with a guy she is dating or met recently. I think it's his sister's wedding. They are wealthy, it's at a mansion, the brother and sister have problems with their dad, also, I think she catches the brother and sister having sex, she ends up being given the expensive car that was going to be a wedding gift, but the brother blows his brains out in the car bc he's depressed he can't be with his sister.

openMan makes family dog into pate? Live Action TV
So this is bonkers but I have a recollection of this strange horror/scifi/dark comedy? TV show episode from the 1990s. It was in colour and I feel it was probably originally an American show broadcast in the UK later.
From what I remember, there's something already spooky going on in the house and the family dog, a golden retriever or similar, dies because of aforementioned "thing". The dad, for some reason the dad decides to make the dead dog into meat pate or spread and he serves it to the family. This could have been a fakeout to scare the audience and the pate was just regular stuff and the dead dog was a bluff.
Thinking about it now, I think ants or scorpions where involved some how. I think they attacked the dog?
This is such a strange memory I have and I'm sure it's not a dream I had.
openAuction show Live Action TV
Two antique experts buy items at one auction and sell them at another auction, trying to use their knowledge of the items and the clientele at the second auction to try to make a profit. For example, if they buy in France and sell in the U.K., they know that the supply and demand differs between them and they may be able to use that to their advantage.

openThe Twilight Zone-type show Live Action TV
It’s a The Twilight Zone-type series... american one from the 80s or 90s... This one episode, this college girl went to this empty historic village trying to get a summer job that fits with her major, and the old man hired her basically right away and she was asked to/agreed to start right away because she had some free time/why not, and told to go through this door which turned out to be a portal to the past and she was super slow to realise this and thought they were all way into character and was annoyed/weirded out they wouldn’t break character, and when she lit up a fag (cigarette) with a lighter, the couple whose house she was in got spooked and didn’t know what that fire stick was and that meant she is a witch, and the people there started riling up against her and were going to burn her at the stake but the wife in the couple whose house she was in, Sarah, realised she’s not a witch and is from the future, and then it turns out she is the daughter of the old man who hired her in a hurry and sent her there, because he was the mayor and wanted to get famous as a witch-hunter by sending people from modern-day (which was the 80s or early 90s) back then and they’d believe the person is a witch and burn them at the stake or hang them (I can’t remember but probably hanging because it’s the US not the UK) and he’d get the credit for it, so Sarah convinced her it IS the past not reenactment and helped her escape just in the nick of time, but she got killed for helping her escape instead...
I’ve checked all or at least most of the possible series and can’t find it! Thank you! And have a nice safe day!

openSTILL UNSOLVED Mini series where man with a facial disfigurement gets the girl in the end Live Action TV
I watched this mini series(also could have been a TV movie) sometime in the late 90s I think, but it could have been as late as 2002. It was set somewhere in the British countryside (but could have easily been Ireland as well) around the time of industrial revolution or even just before that.
The main character had a facial disfigurement from birth and maybe also some kind of spinal issue. I remember thinking it wasn’t that obvious on his face, but in the series he was discriminated against because of it. He was physically very strong and had a very kind heart. I think he worked on a farm or was some kind of labourer.
I think it may have shown his life briefly from a young child or it could have shown flash backs. He may have been abandoned by his mother/family.
I can’t remember how he met the girl, whether she was the daughter of the guy he worked for, or some other way.
Anyway there was another guy trying to win her hand and he was an industrialist or some wealthy guy. Eventually, she chooses the man with the disfigurement regardless of the ridicule that she would face. This may have been against her family’s choice.
They have had a baby in the end too. They were worried that the baby would inherit the issues but the baby was born without the issues.
I thought Liam Cunningham was in this show, but a look over his acting credits didn’t find anything, but there was possibly someone who looked like him in it.
I’ve also checked over a the list of characters with a disfigurement on Wikipedia and been through the Wikipedia list of 90s mini series on Wikipedia too. Also posted on reddit.
Thanks in advance

Female protagonist, some kind of heritage, the "secret" language was actually Scots Gaelige/ Irish.. both times were shown.

the show was most likely filmed in the early 2000's to late teens. the shows main character was this random dude and his friends. i think they skated. and those three weren't popular. the main character either had blond hair or brown hair. his two friends were a girl and a guy( if the main character was blonde then his friend was a brunette). the girl had a crush on him i think. they lived somewhere that had a lot of beach scenery. common settings of the show were the boys house(i think they were in his shed) and this shop where one of the friends was a waitress(or atleast they new someone who was a waitress). even though the main character wasn't a bully or popular he still got into a lot of trouble. i think he either pulled pranked his teacher with that ended up with his teacher riding a small bicycle or he was the one ridding the bicycle and he wasn't supposes to do that. even though he was sort of a troublemaker(on accident or on propose) he was very smart. the main plot of the show was that the main character had some really advanced scientifically thing that he found. in leaning towards dinosaur (not dinosapien). the show basically was about him dealing with the scientific thing he found or made(all i know is that it wasn't intentional). the show had at least three seasons and believe one of the villains(or problems) in the third season was a smart third grader.
