Do you not remember that?
One of my favourite comedy series of all time... My type of humour!:D
The one with the cream boy's delivery is event better;)
Marco.
no, was passed my time i think.
Passed your time, as in...? :hmm:
Marco.
was at an age i guess when i wasnt watching tv very much. just films really. not really my humour little britain either
Ah I see... This is where you and I are different, especially in terms of where we derive our giggles: you = The Simpsons and old Carry On films (lol), me = Little Britain and The League of Gentlemen [plus other non-PC/'alternative' stuff of that ilk].
Marco.
I liked the league... got all the dvds etc... Young ones, little britain were more my sons domain. Older Simpsons were very clever, and worked on several levels; the newer ones are utter tosh. Carry ons are, well an institution as were St Trinnians etc. was a time when it was just good fun as opposed to outright rudeness I guess.
Yup, I think you've hit the nail on the head there. It's probably the age gap between us reflecting our different tastes, in that respect. I suspect it will also apply to films:)Quote:

I never 'got' The Simpsons, simply because, aside from Cheers, I've never really got on with American humour, and I can't stand (or get passed) the child-like 'cartoon character' aspect , and that affected 'yanky drawl' that they speak with, regardless of how clever the dialogue is/was.
Just fundamentally NOT my thing!
And as for Dad's Army, Carry On films and such like, they were just a bit too 'British' (read as English) for me. My parents weren't into them at all, so they were rarely on the TV when I was growing up, and since then nothing has made me inclined to investigate them further...
Marco.
What about Harry Enfield and Sons or The Fast Show? Tons of giggles in there for me.... Also loved 'Bottom'.
Marco.
nope, didnt think much of them either. sorryQuote:

Marco.
only time Rik Mayall was funny was in blackadder, and then as he only had short bits..
Lol... It was more for the performances of Adrian Edmonson, whom I think is a comic genius, although I thought that the two of them played off each other well in that series.
Ah, Blackadder, another rather overrated 'British classic' that I can only take in small doses, largely because of the brilliant Rowan Atkinson! 'Queeny', on occasions, was also a giggle. But after you'd seen a few episodes, it was all rather 'samey'.
I loved Not the Nine O'Clock News, back in the 70s... We used to parody some of the sketches at school. Bet you hated that, too!:lol:
Marco.
no, it was good.Quote:

We had a teacher who looked very like her, and whom we used to love to 'embarrass' with that sketch [Actually, I think she quite liked the attention from all the virile young boys]!:lol:
Marco.
Anyway, here's who I regard as a true [legendary] comedy genius, whom I have fond memories of watching as a young kid with my parents. The one and only Dave Allen:
https://youtu.be/BGASvVqzOa0
Remember him?
He had a super-cool and unique style of delivery.
Marco.
yeah, dave was great, as was old tommy cooper, although maybe not your style or age.
I acknowledge that TC is considered as one of our comedy 'greats' (and rightly so), but you're correct, his wasn't really my style of humour.
A bit too traditional and old-fashioned. Dave was the man, or Spike Milligan. I prefer 'edgier', satirical comedy. In that respect, I'm also a big fan of Alexei Sayle... His series called 'Stuff", from the late 80s/early 90s was great:)
Back in the day, I also loved The Kenny Everett Video Show. Funny as fuck:D
Marco.
However, back to Alexei...
https://youtu.be/jMCKd4x0CHQ
Even now he's still brilliant:lol:
And like me, he's very much anti-establishment! Get it RIGHT UP them, mate :upyours::finger:
Marco.
The Enforcer. 1951, stars Bogey... need i say more?;)
https://ocdviewer.files.wordpress.co...rcer.jpg?w=610
No, that's a pretty good indication that it's ancient!:D
Marco.
great film... was released in this country as 'Murder Inc' I think. although B&W you my like it
Yeah, I'd defo like it because it's quality. However, I prefer sticking to stuff from the 70s onwards....:)
Marco.
Heaven Can Wait. 1978.Warren Beatty, Diane Cannon and Julie Christie.

Glitch Season Three (Netflix)
Sadly the final season of this interesting and clever Australian sci fi thriller TV show. Season three, so far, is uping the anti to make the events that happened in backwoods Australia cosmic in scale, with those events threatening the entire Universe. The mysterious ones (my name for them) are increasingly taking on an almost Sapphire and Steel typed role within the story, to correct things.
The Philadelphia Experiment 1984https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cd8aaaaf0b.jpg
Murder on the Orient Express

Having just read the book, I thought I would re-watch the DVD. Some slight deviations from the story, but in general a very good screenplay as well as a stellar cast.

Despite enjoying it when it was shown on TV, I'm finding a repeat viewing tedious with the OTT characters.
Now the 2012 version

'Casino' just started on Dave. Got the DVD but there's f all else on
Watched it the other night. It's still a bloody good movie, every bit as worth watching as Goodfellas was.Quote:

Bleak, dreary and wet night, so perfect for a good horror film! I'll see what twisted lunacy I can unearth later....:eyebrows::eyebrows:
Marco.
Sure it will be twisted. Lol
Lol... Wish there was a horror film about a psycho killer stalking his victims in remote, lonely train stations on dark winter nights... I've got a bit of a 'thing' for that:eyebrows:
Marco.
Have you ever watched "Blood on Satans Claw", might be right up your street. Bit of nudity as well!:eek:Quote:
