yes!

and Green Wing, to be more modern..

This thread kicks ass! Or, AIRSE! as Father Jack would say

Various shows and sketches that have just come to my mind:

Open All Hours people!!! I mean, what about the comedy genius of "Four candles, no four candles! handles for forks!"

I always loved the bit in Ab Fab where Eddie and Pats have been on a bender and wake up in the midst of it asleep on the dining table, and Patsy's hair is still perfect, and she still has a fag in her mouth, which she just waks up and lights! Pats was definitely my fave :nod

What about Father Ted, where the TV is broken, and Dougal (bless Dougal, lol ) picks up the front of the TV, the screen part and puts it in front of his face and says something like "This is Father Dougal Maguire bringing you Top of The Pops here from Craggy island!!" And Jack, whos just woken up, screams "How did that GOBSHITE get on the television?!!" Loved that!

Fawlty Towers cant beat it. well you can actually...

MONTY PYTHON!!!!!

No quotes, just the whole thing

Anx said:

Have we got a video?

YES WE'VE GOT A VIDEO




classic material.

Vyvyan (sp?!) is still one of my heroes!!

The Young Ones was ace, my fave was the one with University Challenge, wasnt it called Bambi? That was great!

I loved Some Mothers Do Ave Em as well, but the scrapes poor Frank got imself into had me hiding behind my hands! Too nailbiting, watching him almost fall down that cliff at the picnic!

susannah said:

Yeah! the one where Bambi did the "video nasty". Also the one where Vivian gets decapitated whilst(what an English word) sticking his head from the the window of the passenger train. Never heard of Some Mothers...

Green Wing is the worst show EVER!. Not the worst on TV now, it's just the worst show EVER. I'd rather be strapped to a chair forced to watch Last Of The Summer Wine.

susannah said:

That was just a Two Ronnies sketch, not Open All Hours.

I like Mr. Bean & Black Adder(especially seasons 3 & 4). Also just got into A Bit of Frey and Laurie.

Oh, and talking of The Vicar of Dibley, everyone always talks about the time Kylie Minogue made a cameo, but they always forget about Johnny Depp popping up. Kylie was in her inckle career slump then so ot wasn't that big of a deal at the time, but Johnny Depp!!!

susannah said:

I can`t believe i haven`t seen father Ted before, it`s hilarious, brilliant.

"Nuns, nuns, reverse, reverse!!!"


Father Jack has to be one of the funniest characters ever!!



"DRINK", "FECK", "ARSE", "GIRLS"

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Mine too. BTW, I meant to tell you that I recently bought the fifth season/series of "Absolutely Fabulous" and it was much funnier than the fourth (especially the first few episodes). Did you ever catch it?

Some of my favorite britcoms that I have on DVD include

Ab Fab
The Office
French and Saunders
Little Britain

I wanted to get "Chef" at this place that was going out of business but was too late....maybe later.

VinnyM27 said:

i don't have the 5th season on dvd, but i'm sure i've seen some of it on bbc america. i'll have to go out and buy it...

and of course the office is awesome - i have the show on dvd, i'll have to dig it out one of these weekends and do a marathon.

The Day Today
Brass Eye
Jam





I believe Chris Morris is making something about suicide bombers. Can't wait.

Howdy, stranger!

PREDOMINANT said:

What? Not a Chris Morris fan?

The man's a genius. Sure, he's a little sick, but a genius still.

Cloudbuster said:

You can talk Or did you just wait for me to go before coming back?

littlemissG said:

I was waiting for someone to mention these...
I was reading the bit about the read-through.... Interesting...

Does anyone remember The Baldy Man? The main character had the worse comb-over you've ever seen in your life and he didn't speak much during each episode either. They only made a few shows, but it was damn funny!

kisscamille said:

That was funny. I don't like Gregor Fisher though. Rab C Nesbitt is so overrated. Anyone south of Manchester couldn't watch the thing without subtitles.

Ellie said:

Glad you remember this show. I used to laugh my butt off watching it. I'd love to see the re-runs again.

Does anyone remember "The Gaffer" ?

Selwynn Froggit and his Rover P8 Car is about as much as I remember of it.

Milty said:

just for the Benny Hill fans: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6c3fn3

No one mention The Kenny Everett Show???

purpledisc said:

I ALWAYS watched that as a kid. Much better than Benny Hill who was utterly awful. Rubbish slapstick only suited to international audiences because physical humour is universal.
