I love Blackadder. Peter's Friends is also a great movie to rent if you like Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, and/or Emma Thompson.

Anyone enjoy Yes, Minister (later Yes, Prime Minister)?

Me too.

If I ever sign up for Netflix, that is.

RE: Anglophiles
Top Gear - We get multiple shows each day (reruns from 2005 mostly) on a channel called Dave then same thing an hour later on another channel called Dave Ja Vu. More than a TV motoring magazine, it's full of that wonderful Brit wit!

Rosemary and Thyme - a gentle, fluffy mystery series about two lady horticulturalists who seem to have the Jessica Fletcher Syndrome: someone is murdered everywhere they are hired to take care of a garden. It's just a pleasant hour of TV.

I can't say I care for Sherlock Holmes with Jeremey Brett. The guy yells too much.

And, of course, Doctor Who. I was hooked on #4 when PBS showed the series back in the 80s. I own every novelization and a couple of board games.

@Historian

I liked Yes, Minister a lot. I never got around to watching Yes, Prime Minister though.


@Kate

I was just going to add Foyle's War. That was such a great show. I look for Michael Kitchen in movies all of the time now.


I also like Faulty Towers, Black Adder, A little bit of Hugh and Laurie, and Jeeves and Wooster (or as I mistakenly remember it Wooster and Jeeves). It's funny to me how Hugh Laurie's character seems so different now in House compared to the kind of characters he was doing in Jeeves and Wooster, Black Adder, and A little bit of Hugh and Laurie.

we are all a little looney
