Oh bu**er it I need to start watching some of these programs. My apologies garinda, I thought, well god knows what I thought. Sorry……. :o

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

You should, even my Mum likes it. lt's as relevant & funny as the League of Gentlmen.
l am a local garinda, for local people.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

I wasn’t a lover of that programme either. I found the first couple of shows funny then I went off it. I’m more your Spike Milligan and Monty Python type. I did like the office either or that idiot who had the club. I can’t stand the 90s style stand up comics, that said I love some of their work. I detest Ben Elton, but I think Black Adder is a modern classic.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Think they repeat it too much though!! but I do find it funny, and hubby takes them off really well. We will just be falling asleep when he will say sommet in one of their voices and it cracks me up hehehe.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Horses for courses! The all Monty Python/ Goon thing leaves me cold, l think its appeal was more to men, [ thats just because my Dad liked them!]
All the rest you dislike, l loved. Realism with a cruel twist. All northern except The Office. l never found southerners very funny in the 17 years l was there. Sat on a bus in Liverpool though, l used to regularly wet myself, earwigging on conversations.

Doug, I loved Monty Python. I grew up listening to, and loving, the Goons and Python was the natural successor. But, you didn't like The Office? I really thought David Brent was a masterpiece of characterisation. I've never had a boss like him (though I've had some strange ones) - but my late husband did. The League of Gentlemen was funny in parts but a bit too surreal even for my tastes. Black Adder was very good but every time they repeat the last ever episode - I still get a lump in my throat.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

So many great comedies yet they repeat such a small percentage over & over. I know Penelope Keith's lines in the Good Life better than her.
Fave repeat,, is Gimme, Gimme, so truly awful love it.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Gimme Gimme is sooooooooooooooooooo funny I love it!!!!!!!!!:rofl38:

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Do you? We'll get on!!!!!!!!
Love Garindy La Hughes xxxxxxxxxx
Kathy Burke what a star, theres a rumour there doing a third series.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Fantastic!!!!!! I have always loved GAY humour him off corrie cracks me up no end!!!!! think he makes the programe at the moment. Tonight when he said ''well I have ten seconds to get to the factory'' and they all counted down thought that was soooooooooo funny.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Hello West Ender, I agree the last one was a killer. The first time I saw it I was chilled to the bone and actually had to go into the kitchen to get control of myself, I had that many tears in my eyes. I still, like you get a lump when I see it. Now that was powerful writing.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Yeah Sean is the star of Corrie, hes like Raquel, over the top but beleivable. Better than all the serious gaty stuff they tried to do. Brooky did it 15 years ago. Corries strengh is its strong female led humour [inc. Sean] from Florrie Lindley to Cilla.
oopps wrong thread!

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

I have got to say that I 'HATE CILLA' can't stand the woman, the way she tries to impersonate poor donkey off shrek with her top l;ip thinggy going on errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

LOL, OK shes over the top without being belivable. She gets funny story lines though, selling Schmichael to buy boots was funny, poor lil Ches, aahhhhhh.

Re: Little Brtitain......
 

Sean in Corrie reminds me of a gay couple we knew, years ago, in Whitby. One of them was very "straight" in his manner but his partner was as camp as a Boy Scouts' Jamboree. He was the life and soul of every party and I loved him to bits, he was Sean to a T. I am an ardent Lily Savage fan, myself. Normally, I can't stand "drag" but Lily's superb. :D
