"avoid anything else with Chris Barrie"

Oh really - Brittas Empire - the one where he was teh manager of a health club was bysterical.... much like Fawlty Towers in terms of Managerial Incompetence - except he is also surrounded ny Lunatics...

which reminds me - The new one called I.T. - about the comp tech loonies...



"It is the upper middle classes and below (until one gets to the underclass) who seek to keep up appearances"

In which case "Keeping Up Appearances" is brilliant!


I grew up on the BBC Radio shows - all the comedy ones - The Goons is really only for the warped... not students of the English Language - but the two "My Word" & also "My Music" have episodes available on LP/cassette/CD. My Word plays with English - and the brilliant pair of stories at the end are worth listening to - with the very bad shaggy dog tales and the punning ending.
