Does anyone else watch British Comedies?

#1bonofan · 08-13-2005, 11:01 AM

I have become obsessed with Keeping Up Appearances and As Time Goes By. They show them on PBS here and I love them!

Hyacinth totally cracks me up.

I like watching my DVD collection of Benny Hill !!

I'll be able to say the same about Monty Python and that Flying Circus soon !!

I'm waiting for the DVDs I ordered on that program !!

That's because PBS has never aired it.

It was shown here on BBC America. If you're familiar with the NBC remake of "The Office," it's similar. Kind of an office mockumentary.

I don't have bbc america either

heard of "people like us"? that's a kinda mockumentary, by the bbc I think. I've seen that on pbs.

I wish I had BBC America. Brit comedies are so freaking funny. We need shows like that here!

FizzingWhizzbees · 08-13-2005, 01:43 PM

Only Fools and Horses - you guys in the US need to watch that if you haven't already, it was Britain's favourite comedy show in some poll last year.

“Yes Minister” and “Yes Prime Minister” are British classics.
