The Office (UK series) Appreciation Thread

The Carry On films were a series of films made in the 60's and 70's in England and I think there are about 30 films in all.

They are very British comedies based on sexual inneundo and double entendres and the same cast of regulars were involved in the series. They are very funny and very entertaining. Most Brits have seen them several times as they are often on TV over here.

Kenneth Williams is one of the regular actors (his picture is my avatar).

31 I believe!

Sid James, Ken Connor, Bernie Bresslaw, Babs Windsor - and the much underrated, Peter Butterworth!

 

[Tilli]

Don't forget Joan Sims, Charles Hawtrey, Hattie Jaques and Terry Scott also

Hattie defined the British Matron!

 

[Tilli]

Oooh matron!

Steptoe and Son ... we have discussed this one 747 !!

Dad's Army ... I don't know this one !!

Are You Being Served ?? ... I have heard of this one !!

The Best Of Benny Hill ...


You can just tell ... I know Benny Hill very well !!
He's my favorite
Why can't we discuss his past shows ??
Now, that's a funny man (that Benny Hill)

 

[Aardvark747]

I had restrained myself from saying that!

 

[Tilli]

If you like Benny Hill, then you would probably like Carry On films too!

Benny Hill was good....but MsMofo, Dad's Army u should check out too! One of the finest comedy series the UK has produced! 81 eps and 1 movie of pure comedy genius!
It basically follows the local Home Guard in a fictional town called Walmington on Sea, during WWII. It ran between 1968-1978, and is still repeated all the time on Sky.

Sgt Wilson -

Agreed.

 

[MsMofoGone]

H-E-L-L-O !! ... Come in 747 !! Are you out there ??

 

[Tilli]

^ Still speechless I expect!

 

[MsMofoGone]

I can't say that ... cuz the moment I guess so or agree ... he will appear out of nowhere !!

 

[Tilli]

I think we have frightened him off!

 

[MsMofoGone]

You'd be surprised, when you least expect it ... POW !! There he is !!

 

[Tilli]

He is still lurking - I expect he is thinking of a witty comment but can't!!

 

[MsMofoGone]

Oh, if he really wants to ... he will !!

 

[Tilli]

^ I think you may be right!

 

[Aardvark747]

If we must stay on topic....

David:This is Sanj, this guy does the best Ali G impersonation, Aiiieee. I can’t do it, go on, do it.

Sanj: I don’t, must be someone else.

David: Oh, sorry, it’s the other one-

Sanj: The other what..... Paki?

David: Ah, that’s racist.
