I love the Fast Show, it's hilarious Some of the weirdest, yet funniest, comedy sketches I've seen in ages... Oooooo my god, how could I forget this? Kids In The Hall!!! It was a Canadian sketch comedy, and it's classic! Dave Foley from NewsRadio (another great show I forget to mention along with Drew Carey and Norm) was in it Anyways... got some pics from Black Books ;D Dirty I'd love to do that one day... LOL! Little book of Calm! ;D

Black books is killer, as is Teachers, Book Club.
Heres a question, wondering if anyone has heard of the show Press Gang? British show about teenage newspaper, just about my favourite ever show, i have every single episode on video.

Yeah, I remember Press Gang! Watched it when I was like 12 or so.
Speaking of having whole series of shows on tape-I have almost all of 'Perfect Strangers' on tape...that show from the 80s with Larry and Balki. I can't bear to record over them!

I used to watch Press Gang! LOL Starred a young... Julia Sawalha... the chick (daughter) from Ab Fab Has anyone else heard of a show called Fun At The Funeral Parlour? This'll be a long shot, it's very unknown. I only saw it because it was on UK TV on Foxtel (lucky catch, and my b/f taped all the episodes so we're lucky enough to have them all to watch over and over again). It was created by a guy named Rhys Thomas, who guest starred in The Fast Show and was in an episode of Black Books... It also featured other Fast Show people from time to time... Anyway it is such a classic show, and really funny. It's strange though but Rhys is a clever writer. He'd always make references to various movies or TV shows in each episode, like there was a Fugitive pay out for one, Exorcist crossed with Poltergiest and even Ghostbusters, LOL... it was great... if you ever get a chance to see it, I recommend you do. I just hope it comes out on DVD some stage in the future, that'd be fantastic

Loved the fast show too,Reggie Perrin and Porridge. Did you know Ate Beckinsale is the daughter of Richard Beckinsale who was Godber in Porridge, he died quite young early thirties I think. My surname is Godbeer so I always think of that. Got the whole series of Red Dwarf,Young Ones,Fawlty Towers,Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy,Blackadder and Mr Bean,oh and only fools and horses. Thank god for Foxtel,it did have its uses.

Thank god for Foxtel,it did have its uses. Yes... way better than free to air, eesh... With the influx of utter crap that's on TV lately I've had no choice but to turn to Foxtel... but damn them for their stupid impending change to Digital... not everyone has truckloads of money to pay for the upgrades
