Tomy Cooper was the guy in the fez, Rick and it was he who (whom?) died on stage.

Rod Hull was the man with Emu - he died when he fell of his roof trying to fix the TV ariel!

I think good humour is transatlantic - some from both sides will be classics forever. Fawlty Towers and Friends are two that spring instantly to my mind anyway. Oddly enough their 'other halves' never seemed to catch on in their own countries. Friends was, to me, always superior to the British 'coupling' although that did have its high spots and at least explained to me why I don't understand cusions. (You had to see it!) As for the US version of F.T. Well, I can't even remember what it was called let alone a funny moment!

I did find Jerry Lewis very funny btw, Rick. His original Nutty professor was far better than Eddie Murphy. Never did like Bob Hope much though. Probably because I don't play golf:-)
