Hi, everyone, I'm George. Because of lockdown, people around the world
have been watching more TV shows online. So, today, we’re going to learn how to talk about
TV shows in English. Before I continue, don’t forget to Like the video
and to Subscribe to the channel. One word that's
very important to know when you're talking
about a TV show is Episode. An episode is one programme
in a TV show. So, you could say what’s your
favourite episode of Mad Men? Or what’s your favourite episode
of Game of T
hrones? Another word that's very
important to know is Series. A series is a group
of episodes in a TV show. So, there might be
a number of series in your favourite TV Show. For example, series 1,
series 2, series 3. In America, they
call this a season. What’s your favourite
episode of Friends? Series 3, episode 26. When talking about
your favourite episode, it’s better to say what happens instead of telling
them the episode number. You can say I like
the one where... And use the present simple s
o the listener understands what
episode you're talking about. For example, I like the one where Homer Simpson
goes to space. What’s your favourite
episode of Friends? I like the one where Ross
says hello to Rachel. Oh, yes, that was a good one. I saw a brilliant TV show on Netflix the other day
called The Lost Party Hat. When talking about a TV show
that the listener doesn't know, you can use the preposition
on to describe where you saw it. For example, I saw
something on Netflix. Or, I saw some
thing on BBC1. I saw a brilliant TV show on Netflix the other day
called The Lost Party Hat. Have you seen it? No. What’s it about? The next word is Spin-off. A spin-off is a TV show that has some of the same
characters from another TV show or another film. For example, Better Call Saul
is a spin-off of Breaking Bad. It’s a spin-off of the classic
film Birthday Revenge. Oh, dear. About a man that finds
a lost party hat. Hey, you forgot your hat. At first, it’s
like having a superpower. Happy Bir
thday. Thanks. Hey, let me buy you a drink. Thank you. But then he starts
to feel guilty. Whose hat is this? He needs to find the owner
and give it back. The next expression
is to binge-watch. To binge means to do
too much of something in a short amount of time. For example, do binge-drink
means to drink too much alcohol. So, to binge-watch means
to watch several episodes of a TV show one after another. For example, I binge-watched series 1 of
Breaking Bad at the weekend. Just one more episode.
One more episode. One more episode. The next word is Cliffhanger. I'm sure some episodes from your favourite TV show
finish on a cliffhanger. A cliffhanger is when an episode finishes
at a very exciting moment and you're not sure
what will happen next. Each episode ends
on a cliffhanger so I binge-watched the first
two series at the weekend. He’s in Europe, somewhere. The next expression
is To go downhill. Maybe you were watching
a TV show and after series 1, it started to go downhill. This mean
s the quality
started to decline and it wasn't as good
as it was before. It started to gradually
get worse and worse. It started to go downhill. The first series was great but it started to go a bit
downhill from then on. The next word is Anticlimax. Maybe you were watching
a TV show and you were expecting the final episode to have
a really exciting ending, but it wasn't. It wasn't exciting. It was, actually,
a bit disappointing. It was a bit of an anticlimax. It was a bit anticlimactic. The las
t episode of series
2 was a bit of an anticlimax. Hey, I found your party hat. Oh, you can throw it in the bin. It only cost £1. The next word is something
that a lot of us hate. It’s a Spoiler. A spoiler is information which tells you
what will happen in a TV show before you've seen it. It might spoil your enjoyment
of the TV show. The owner says he
can just throw it in the bin. Hey, no spoilers. The last expression is
To catch up with something. Maybe you’ve been too busy, so you haven't watch
ed
the latest episode, or episodes, of your favourite TV show. You haven't caught
up with it yet. The third series
started a few weeks ago but I haven't caught
up with it yet. That's all we have
time for today. Please write a review, sharing your comments
and opinions about a TV show you've seen recently
