If you want to watch some thing really funny, watch
"Dinnerladies" Victoria Woods comedy which also stars her mate Julie walters
and her wonderful group of characters. Set in a factory canteen, Tony is in
charge, once he was moaning about having to listen to "woman talk" PMT etc..
and someone mentioned multiple orgasms, Tony turns to one of the women "Hey
Jean, have you had any multiple orgasms lately" Jean "Multiple orgasms, I
havent even sneezed since Wednesday.
In one episode Julie Walters who plays Victoria Woods mum is knocking off a
16 year old boy in her caravan in the factory car park, and the boys mum
comes looking for her in the canteen. Victoria (Bren) says "can I help you,"
and the mum says "Have you seen my Clint" Victoria pauses and has a great
puzzled sort of look on her face just long enough to stretch the joke, before
saying, "Sorry" mum "Clint, my son" " Oh Clint ! no , not seen him "
"Coupling" a sort of British "Friends" (better I think) is worth a
look, wonderful Welsh character played by Richard Coyle ? "Happiness" has
the great Johnny Vegas, and "The Book Club" is growing on me, couple of
American/Canadian girls in that, their accents sound authentic. You may need
subtitles in order to understand the regional accents, but the comedy would
lose without them.
Here is one to get you going ! When "King of the Hill" came to our screens,
everybody loved it, a critic in the "Mail" said that the characters are more
real than any of the humans we see in most Americans series, do you in North
America agree. Do you agree that TV and Film does not represent the ordinary/
average American well, or at all ???? ( I can almost understand one or two
words that Dale says.)
And why did they cancel "Bob, The Devil and God" James Garner gave a
wonderfully dry voice over as God, the excuse was that it was to keep
sponsors happy, but there was nothing offencive about it, you are in the land
of the free, and that series said more about religion than any church, I hate
commercial TV and Radio, Did the series survive and carry on anywhere on
independant channels ?? I loved "Smek" the Devils side kick, brilliant !!!!
Kerry your list of goodies, what about Branston Pickle and don't forget
"Faggots and Sticky Buns"
