I remember Sunday nights watching the local PBS station WTTW in Chicago in the late 70's and early 80's and seeing the three of the best shows produced in the UK: Monty Python at 10pm Dave Allen at 10:30pm Dr. Who (no commercials - 1 1/2 hours long, woot!) at 11pm. Monday mornings at school were blurry affairs... I never see anything about Dave Allen at Large any more... it was some seriously funny stuff sometimes. I remember at least three stories about how he lost the top of one of his index fingers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gadi Evron" <ge () linuxbox org> To: "Drsolly" <drsollyp () drsolly com> Cc: funsec () linuxbox org, "grandpa of Ryan Rob, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca> Sent: Monday, June 29, 2009 7:50:44 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [funsec] British Television Drsolly wrote:
As a Brit, I'm constantly amazed that Americans like Benny Hill. Top of the list is Fawlty Towers. There's only 12 episodes, every one a gem.
Re-watching it, I like it again. But I am not sure I like the extreme racism depicted there. -- Gadi Evron, ge () linuxbox org.
