Comedy legend Brian Conley journeys through the fantastic world of television with some of our favourite celebrities who have chosen the TV moments that have shaped their lives.

Actor Amanda Abbington joins Brian on his sofa to look back at the classic TV that shaped her into the person she is today. We learn about Amanda's multi-generational childhood and how watching her favourite children's TV with her mum gave her a chance to showcase her talent for accents. We find out which long-running classic sitcom had her howling with laughter, what guilty pleasure kept her glued to her seat, and which inspirational female's talents helped set her on the path to TV fame in Sherlock and Mr Selfridge. We also learn why she still can't watch horror films when husband and fellow actor Martin Freeman is away on location.
