Give me some shows or movies or shows from across the pond that you like.


the office (TV)
Shaun of the Dead (movie)
Monty Python  (classic)
The Mighty Boosh (TV)
Look Around You (TV)

that's all I can think of right now.

Fawlty Towers (TV)
The Black Adder (TV)
Mr. Bean (TV...none of the awful movies)
Top Gear (TV - funny and good car stuff)

Those are in addition to your choices Industrial...Can't go wrong with any Monty Python hehe.

Almost forgot one of my guilty pleasures:
Wallace and Gromit of course!

The Young Ones, Little Britain, Coronation St.

Coronation St. is more of a soap, but not in the North American sense.  The characters are all "real" people, and every problem is solved with by either putting the kettle on, or having a drink at the local pub.  Plus amid all the drama, it's funny as hell.

Top Gear (all 3 hosts crack me up) Benny Hill (i love slapstick) Red Dwarf is my favourite though, the cat is one of the best tv characters EVER

great!
I like Top Gear and Little Britain.

Mr Bean movies are lame, I liked his other stuff.

I'll look into the other suggestions.

I am smiling just thinking about previous suggestions, and would add "Keeping Up Appearances", "Absolutely Fabulous", and "Are you Being Served?"

Most of the ones I have watched and enjoyed have already been mentioned.

     Faulty Towers, Keeping Up Appearances, Mr Bean, The Good Neighbors, Are You Being Served, Dr Who, Time Goes By, To The Manor Born & The Black Adder are all I can think of myself. Seems like there were more though. ???

     I've got the collection of Faulty Towers and we would drag them out when there wasn't anything worth watching on the tube. Amazing that with all those channels and there could be NOTHING that we wanted to watch! ::) ;)
