Back in Black :yes: (you can buy it on dvd so it counts )
First thing that came to my mind too.
What about Green Wing?
:yes:
Or Nighty Night? I love that show.
Last DVD I bought was Jo Brand's The Best Of Through The Cakehole, though. I almost did a little wee watching it. Depends if you like her or not, of course.
(Blackbooks is great british comedy)
I thought it was shit.
If you want something a bit different and you like Peep Show you should buy That Mitchell and Webb Sound on CD.
No, he started on a Radio 4 comedy show called On The Hour (also worth buying). This then changed into The Day Today, which then turned into Alan Partridge and Brass Eye.
But I digress.
On CD, I'd buy On The Hour, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, The Mary Whitehouse Experience.
On DVD I'd buy Nightingales, The Day Today, The Mighty Boosh, Drop the Dead Donkey...
I think the real glory of it is the way it was so beautifully cast. There wasn't a person - not even in a teeny one-off, supporting role - who I thought could've been better cast.
There's no accounting for taste.
The premise of the Office was done far better with Drop the Dead Donkey.
Although I am biased because I think Gervais is less funny than being told your daughter's been raped and your son is joining the BNP. The rest of the cast are quite funny though.
Well with that glowing recommendation, I'm going to have to check it out! I have heard good things though, which surprised me too, as I expected everyone who loved the original to go into automatic snob mode (as I have often done myself) and tear it to shreds.
You are so right there :razz:
