"Black Adder"

*I've got a plan so cunning, you could pin a tail on it and call it a...........*

Fox?

Black Adder, the finest source of insults ever.

'God made man in his own image, and it would be a sad look out for Christians throughout the globe if God looked anything like you...'

Red Dwarf, of course the last human will be a curry loving, lager swilling Scouser, they get everywhere, don't they though?

Game on and Men Behaving Badly are unfortunately suspiciously close to the way I actually live, but with more jokes.

Do any other country actually get (or understand) the Fast Show?

And Coronation Street is a tragedy of operatic proportions. Yet even it is not as dark as Eastenders

Fox?

Nope, smaller animal

Ok, who knows the end of that one?

Weasel?

 

[T.H. Oughts]

Weasel?

Correct

Huzzah! I got it right

Yep, about the only show I stay up for when I'm dog tired and should really be asleep

Also it never faulted over the years. Ben lost it towards the end with the 'young ones'. But Black Adder always seems to stay on top. Maybe it's the change of time period with each series.

P.S. I have a house cat named Bob, she had kittens the other week

My favourite shows

The Fast Show (in particular Rowley Birkett)

Smack the Pony

Father Ted

Porridge (Ronnie Barker is a genius)

Also need to mention Billy Connolly. The guy is brilliant. Thought the sit com he did in the States (can't remember the name) was very lame, but as a stand up he has few equals.

I *love* Blackadder, especially the "Blackadder Goes Forth" series. The episode where Baldrick describes his recipie for Rat Au Vin had me on the floor in tears.

I still smile when I see turnips in the supermarket, lol.

shhhhh!
siren hears you say that you are in beeeg trouble cabron


one foot in the grave , keeping up appearances and waiting for god are very well written , i base my ranting style on victor meldrew [i dont believe it!]
if you ever get to see billy connollys world tour of scotland or world tour of australia documentaries make sure you watch them a fantastic insight into a comic genius

porridge has some of the best one liners of all time it is a real shame that ronny barker cannot be persuaded to come out of retirement

Add "Have I got news for you" and "they think it's all over" to that list....then throw in a crate of beer and a curry and thats a great night in

I was up late last night, watching Comedy Central. They had a show entitled "Black Books" or something of that sort. Drunken owner hires a long hair to work for him, weird chick in a shop next door.

Very British, some good bits. But I know nothing else about it.

Thats a new-ish one (on earlier this year) and quiet funny, the guy with the long hair is called Bill Bailley(sp) an is a really good stand up, and the shop owner is also a great stand up over here as well.

Bill Bailley can also be seen in a show called "Spaced" that is very very funny.....but also very very weird.
