I was curious what some of you watch, and what you'd recommend. A few of my favourites are Coupling, The Vicar of Dibley, Ever Decreasing Circles and when in the right mood, Keeping up Appearances. My wife want's to buy the Office, so we'll see about that one. I did try to watch one episode one time, but their accents were so strong I missed half of what they said. I'm willing to try again, though. -------------------- le gach dea-mh�in ~Brian

I just checked to see if it's available on DVD yet. It turns out it is, but only region 2. I hate how they have different regions! Grrr. Is anyone else familiar with this particular series? Nobody else I've ever talked to has heard of it. When I lived in PA, my local PBS station would air it.

It was short-lived, but the Brticom that I compare all others against. -------------------- N�kemiin Dave (SCA: Geoffrey Genour of Carney) Protector of Bits and Bytes, Third cousin once removed to Phil, Prince of Insufficient Light Help out with the site!

I've seen Fawlty towers a long time ago too, but I don't remember well... . Another one I love is "Black Books", does anyone know ? It takes place in a library, the owner is M. Black, he hates to sell a book, in fact he hates everyone, he is selfish, dirty and cynical and he drinks too much... And what about "Absolutely fabulous" ? -------------------- Que restera-t-il de notre sang m�l� au sel, sans trace dans les m�moires ? Une ultime navigation, trompeuse.

Information included is cast list, episode list and summaries, locations, etc. Choose your favourite comedy from the A to Z list to find out tons of info!
