Subject: BS: that's it for me and Doc Martin
I've been watching the TV series "Doc Martin" mainly because it's set in the home of my ancestors -- Cornwall.
We just got to see the "Christmas Special" here in Aus. The end bit had a pair of rare Choughs blown up. Well -- I KNOW they didn't REALLY blow up any birds -- rare or otherwise.
BUT I didn't think it was funny. Call me a party-pooper. I'm a funny person. I like funny people. I laugh at all kinds of things. I admire writers of comedy. I do a bit myself in a small way.
Am I alone in not finding this kind of thing funny. I didn't think it was funny when the heros of "O Brother Where Art Thou" killed a cow either. Or "Police Academy" with the killed cat.
