Crimefighting nuns, giant killer white balloons and Aubrey Plaza getting stuck in a wall … here are your favourite ever mind-bending TV series
Catterick is my favourite baffling TV show. It stars Vic and Bob and a stellar backup cast – Reece Shearsmith, Tim Healey, Mark Benton, Matt Lucas and Morwenna Banks. It starts off innocuously enough with Carl Palmer (Bob) returning to Catterick to visit his brother Chris (Vic) but quickly descends into anarchy. The extremely loose plot centres around the criminal antics of mummy’s boy Tony (Shearsmith) but there are more tangents than a geometry conference. From ripped up posters of George Clooney and haunting dance routines to Chris Rea and Foreigner, Catterick should be top of your TV destinations. Tom Whelan, South Shields
I first caught a glimpse of the sharp, dreamlike animation Monkey Dust back on BBC Three in the mid-2000s. I was mesmerised by its dark slice of post-millennium British life. Every week, each episode played somewhat the same, but with a tragic, twisted or nightmarish spin befalling the sad bunch of urban dwellers. Why did Clive perform depraved acts with German businessmen, his father in-law, or a dog and some peanut butter? How did Divorced Dad survive his dire ending every week? I haven’t seen anything this dark or hypnotic since. Liam, 40, Amsterdam
