Brit-coms

[Big Dave]

Don't forget about "Red Dwarf, (the british) Coupling, and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps (that's the full title)".

I am also a big fan of Red Green (and just about all of the other shows that have been mentioned in the thread...and Dr. Who as well!). First saw RG while in Toronto and my reaction was just sitting there with my mouth hanging open between laughs and thinking "this guy is SO on the mark about how guys deal with things...duct tape solves all problems".

One of the most gratifying recent trends is that I'm seeing lots of the Canadian actors from Red Green show up in episodes of the Stargate Franchises...Harold (Patrick McKenna) had virtually a whole episode of SG-1 to himself a couple of seasons ago. This has been much like watching the actors from "I, Claudius" and "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" as they've followed their careers through the years...our local PBS magazine once printed a flow chart of all of the shows that the various actors from "Claudius" and "Upstairs, Downstairs" were subsequently involved with.

Hey...Peter Davison..."All Creatures Great and Small" to "Doctor Who" to "Campion"...he's always showing up in one series or another.

And for the Blackadder fans...how 'bout that Hugh Laurie....Bertie Wooster makes good, eh? Can't wait until they find a way to get a "House" episode with Stephen Frye as a guest star.

Trouble with Brit-Coms...they are damn addictive.

I'm chuckling reading this thread, I let my satellite lapse while I was involved in coursework so I wouldn't be watching TV when I should have been studying. You've inspired me to have it turned back on. O'Neille
