> > You know, England may drive wrong and spell everything wrong and not pronounce their R's and have a long history of decapitating members of the Royal Family (unfortunately, this practice has not continued), but they sure got it right with their comedy. I'm telling you, British comedy is hysterical! I was watching this one last night where there were these British people who worked at a clothing store, and the supervisor's name was Captain Peacock. Maybe you've watched it (I've forgotten the title). It was on PBS last night, and I did not stop laughing. Then, my mother walked in and she did not get any of it. She hates British humor and doesn't understand it. Hmm. Oh well.

> Ok, Morris, put me down as another one who likes British Comedy. (When listing things that they do wrong, you failed to mention food. Eeuyukkeee! And Viva Mexico.)I especially like Mr. Bean. On a cruise about a year ago, our waiter in the formal dining room looked so much like Mr.Bean, the other waiters called him "Bean." But he was a Turk, not an Englishman and a very good waiter. I kept expecting him to do something funny, but he was a very serious guy. Too bad. If he'd just bumbled a bit, it would have been a better cruise.

British Comedies I hate
Are you Being Served

I know Who Line is it any way was British, but I've only ever seen the Drew Carry version. And that raps it up for my knowledge of British comedies, I'm sure there are more I just don't know.
