That's a diverse mixture of shows! Bless Me Father and Are You Being Served rubbing shoulders with classics like Fawlty Towers and Blackadder. It's interesting to hear how all of these programmes (and the dreaded Benny Hill!) were popular in the States, to some degree or another.<br /><br />John. Still on the list. I'll get to it one of these days!The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-12041327113487921692015-01-17T01:01:57.695+00:002015-01-17T01:01:57.695+00:00Have you tried Deadwood yet?

I'm not much of a TV watcher now, but I had a particular love for low-brow sitcoms like The Young Ones, Keeping Up Appearances, Bless Me Father, Are You Being Served?, Take a Letter Mr. Jones, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, The Vicar of Dibley, etc. Believe me, I could go on and on.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-19950838327558774272015-01-16T18:06:29.163+00:002015-01-16T18:06:29.163+00:00Oh I can just picture the scene, brilliant.

I'm often surprised at the degree of Anglophilia (if that doesn't sound like an illness... or worse..) I mean, I gather that Benny Hill was hugely popular over there too :-O<br />Then again, I suppose you can't get much more English than Lovejoy, can you? <br /><br />Lovely to know my comet trail triggered this memory and post - and many thanks for the mention!<br /><br />(I find St Vincent fascinating and talented and like her a lot... just unfortunately I don't feel the same about David Byrne!!)Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.com
