Of course being from the States I don't know too much about your regular shows. But I just love some of the shows on BBC. oh, like... my favorite, "Keeping Up Appearances" Got to love the way she say Bouquet, instead of Bucket..LOL. I use to watch "Upstairs, downstairs" and my new one is the....Oh, geez, I forgot the first part..I think it is the "Vicar Of Dublin" oh but she is good! Love her humor!
While I type this, my internet has gone down, but I'm able to type away..oh..goodies.[:D] Think I'll chat away then...hmmmm...lets see, what else do I like on BBC..
They have their own version of "While You Were Out" always fixen up the backyards.. Does everyone have fenced in backyards like that? I would love a fence! No worries for the little ones or the new dog that hopefully we will get one day.
Oh..and there is that one dude..sheesh, can't recall his name, but a talk show host..very british and funny!!
Oh..lookie there, my internet is up again..[:D] So, guess I'll post this now... You'd think spending over a hundred dollars for internet and cable, it would work all the time..but oh, well..only a few minutes of time.[^]

Long before the current attempts at a lasting Peace Process in Northern Ireland , James Young was paving the way by getting both sides of the religious divide to laugh at themselves and their own petty bigotries.
Though I had never heard of him, it seems a good deal of his work had been to heal through laughter. He must have been quite a person. Thanks for sharing that website!
Very best,

I know I was (Great)British in a past life, because I 'get' the humor. That's a lot for an American [;)] Dave Allen and the 2 Ronnies....sigh, no longer on TV.
'The Office' ROCKS! and is the first british tv comedy to win best comedy *in the US awards*, as far as I know..
Ricky Gervais' (David Brent's) award speach was priceless:
'yeah, we come from a little old country called England, you might have heard of it, we used to rule the world before you did!'... it got big laughs from the US audiance!
I hear they are planning a US version of the office, which I'm sure will be complete crap, but we'll have to see!

Almost forgot, for those who like Scottish comedy, 'Chewin the fat' is a great sketch show; Billy Boyd from 'Lord of the rings' converted the entire lotr cast to it when they were filming...
'Gonna no dae that... just, gonna no?'
