Any other "BritCom" fans?
 

My wife and I are absolutely addicted to the Brittish Comedies that show on our local PBS station on Friday and Saturay nights. Especially anything featuring Rowan Atkinson! Mr. Bean, Thin Blue Line, Blackadder... My addiction started Way back in the good old days of Monty Python's Flying Circus, her's started as soon as she met me! :yes: Anyone else here a BritCom fan?

Have watched them to the point of having memorized all the lines. Fawlty Towers, Ab-Fab, Are You Being Served?, Waiting For God...

Good grief, The Black Adder, the very definition of so dumb its hilarious. My fav scene was when he accidently beheaded the king!

My all time favorite tho is Keeping Up Appearances. Mrs. Bucket (Bouquet) just slays me.

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin, Python, The Office, Coupling, Fawlty Towers, Ripping Yarns, and of course Benny Hill are what I'm into.

Yep...one that I forgot to mention. Easily one of the best of the bunch.
I always felt sorry for Onslow and Richard for having to put up with those nutty sisters!

My wife's favorites are "The Vicar of Dibley" and "As Time Goes By." I forgot about Fawlty Towers. That is another one that is so bad it is hillarious!

If there isn't a St. Richard, there should be. And I would pay real money to get a baseball cap with the logo Onslow wears. Anybody know what that logo is?

Jeez, even that stupid song they played during his silent skits breaks me up.

It's "Yakety-Sax" by Boots Randolph isn't it?

By cracky you are correct. I am laughing right now.

For those not in the know..

Scroll down and click on Yackety Sax. Damnit, now I have that song in my head!

It's an "FH" I think. I always thought it was a trucking company.

From the official "Keeping Up Appearances" websight:

"The FH on Onslow's hat stands for Fulton Hogan Ltd., a New Zealand asphalt and roadbuilding company. When Geoffrey Hughes was there promoting a show, he was given that hat by one of the company's lorry drivers."

This show was SO funny as a brittish comedy and SO Bad as an american one!

Benny also used that strange 1968 song "Manamana" a lot, & one that started "I see you everyday, walking down the avenue/ I'd like to get to know you, but all I do is smile at you..." I sure do miss Benny...Sure, he was "dirty", but it was "10-year-old-boy" dirty, never really bad. Unlike today...-Sandy G.
