1. that was a hilarioius series..cannot believe I forgot to list it.
2. Allo Allo..my favorite part of the show was about the long distance dick.
3. Those old farts are hilarious....that's set in Yorkshire innit?

 

There was also Benny Hill. He was hilarious, his face was so expressive, naughty boy. :-D

On the buses.

Both old.

 

I forgot about him!:-D I also liked that poor guy who could never get a break as something was always going wrong. I can't remember his name, skinny guy with an expressive face too and no dialogue IIRC. Also had a movie which sucked IMO.

EDIT: Mr.Bean himself, Rowan Atkinson.:-D

 

I just remembered Halo, Mr. Bean.:-D

 

Yeah, that's one I forgot. I always remember the episode about the Christmas Turkey. LMAO

With my Satellite TV provider they're on the BBC America channel.

They also showed Wire in the Blood, and a whole slew of British murder mysteries a while back, like Inspector Morse, and the one with Frost (A touch of Frost?), tons of Agatha Christie movies... good times were had by all.

 

Benny. Benny. Benny.
Oh, and did I say Benny? Hill, that is.

 

Agreed.. only other one that comes close is the time he painted his mother's headstone with luminous paint.

 

Del Boy paints his dead mother's monument.

Spaced.
Mighty Boosh.
The Fast Show.
Not the nine 'o clock news (I think that was how it was called)
Father Ted.
The Young Ones.
Faulty Towers.
Some mothers do have 'em.
I purchased On the Buses last week and gotta say it's pretty damn good-considering that I wasn't sure initially
There was also this one set in a hospital ward that I loved-really cannot remember the characters much (as used to come on tv when I was a girl) but can remember part of the song title, which was something like: 'I am h.a.p.p.y...I am h.a.p.p.y...I know I am, I'm sure I am...I am h.a.p.p.y'

-Does anyone know which series I'm on about?
