ah ive just been re-living the brilliant 'Dead Ringers' on youtube. thats a darn good series :lol: Wow, the advert they do for I Can't Belive Its Not Butter with Ozzy Osbourn just came on...spoooooky!

kinda missed the conversation about comedians, but hey. i saw Dara O'Briain live recently, that man is absolutely brilliant, the funniest thing ive ever seen. there was some deaf old bat who kept saying she couldnt hear anything and left notes for him for some reason during the interval complaining.

"I'm in a monotone? What are you expecting? Dolby Surround Sound? A couple of planes wooshing overhead?"

I'd like to see Jack Dee too, caught one of his shows on TV one night, brilliant.

I love Keeping Up Appearances, Last of the Summer Wine, Are you Being Served, My Hero, Goodnight Sweetheart, As Time Goes By, and i don't see it much anymore but I liked Next of Kin.

I don't know if it is a british show or what but I like Monarch of the Glen!

:shock: whoh :shock:

It looks like he gets through most of them in a single show with the spped of the costume changes he does :)

I especially like it then he just folds a single sheet down and the character totally changes.

A real class act :D

you might like Ennio Marchetto from Italy (http://www.enniomarchetto.com). He's absolutely hilarious by what he does with his body & paper costumes and he has performed in over 67 different countries so far.

I've seen him in Berlin last year and it was definately worth the money!

As for my favourite British TV series - you can't go past Mr Bean with Rowan Atkinson :P

Classic comedy 8)
