British Shows that No One in Any Other Country Watches

[Reply #40 on:]

Talking of British TV, is anyone else watching 'Auf Wiedersehen, Pet'?

Thinks a TOTPD may be due, cautiously does one. . .

[Reply #41 on:]

I love that show! My parents loved it in the 70's and 80's and now i like it!

[Reply #42 on:]

My mum and dad watched it as well back in the 70's and 80's and they're watching the new epiodes on a sunday as well    It doesn't really entertain me though

It only started in the 80s, they must've been watching something else.

And the original theme tune was a lot better.

[Reply #44 on:]

Ooops. Anyway..they watched it.

Do they show Randall & Hopkirk (deceased) on other countries?

[Reply #45 on:]

How about Allaister McGowans big impression?  Now that guy is pure talent 

[Reply #46 on:]

He's really good  He does Louis Theroux perfectly 

[Reply #47 on:]

Yeah its great! Its on right now on BBC1    I'm flicking backwards and forwards between PEEL and the TV   

And the woman does that Sharon out of Eastenders really well as well 

[Reply #48 on:]

You can't forget Richard + Judy from them, very good and funny!

[Reply #49 on:]

I was actually just gonna say that but you beat me to it Aslate  Yeah I agree very very funny 

[Reply #50 on:]

I liked the Jonathon Ross impersonation, he did great missing out the R's

[Reply #51 on:]

Yeah he sounded exactly like him    I never watch 'Watchdog' but in this episode I've just watched he did an impersonation of the presenter and it was so funny  I had no idea who it was but it was great!

[Reply #52 on:]

Allaister McGowan is so funny, I love the eastenders bits especially when hes impersinating Dot Cotten  . Did anyone see 'have I got news for you'? I swear that was the funniest episode ever. 

[Reply #53 on:]

They were taking the piss out of Angus Deaton weren't they cause of the alleged 'sex tales' that were in the papaer  I never saw it coz i was too busy on here but my dad told me about it 

[Reply #54 on:]

You shoulda seen it, Angus deaton was just getting laughed at throughout the whole show, I almost felt sorry for the guy 

[Reply #55 on:]

aaawwwhhh poor guy. I've just been informed by Aslate that I've missed the repeat of it as well. Never mind I'll just have to assume it was the best epidoe ever shown and my weekly therapy should help me out 

[Reply #56 on:]

I was in hysterics for most of it - and the ratings beat Big Brother! YES!

My favourite bit was "It also says that the average man is twice as likely to have a heart attack on a monday. - Especially if he's just read the tabloids."

[Reply #57 on:]

I can only hope someone taped that, I'd kill to see it!

Exactly. Does anyone else think it's a bit "convenient" that the story came out just in time for the programme that would be opposite the new series of Big Brother? I smell a PR stunt!

It was funny though

I've literally never been this happy!! 

I have the episode on tape if anyone wants it.

[Reply #61 on:]

Anyone going to watch the Kumars at Number 42 tomorrow?

[Reply #62 on:]

The Kumars!!!!!! I love them!!!

I felt very sorry for Angus the other day, but Paul's T-Shirt was hilarious!!! "Ian, what's Gangsta Rap?"

"Good evening and welcome to Have I Got News For You, where this week’s loser…is presenting it. Yes, the words ‘pot’, ‘kettle’ and ‘smug’, ‘git’, ‘in’ ‘for’ ‘a’ ‘long’ ‘overdue’ and ‘kicking’ spring to mind."

Apparently the BBC are thinking of sacking Angus Deayton and replacing him with Stephen Fry.

Nooo! Angus is the best for HIGNFY and replacing him would ruin it!

[Reply #65 on:]

Do the show Father Ted any where else?

Feck! Arse! Drink! Girls!

Drink! Drink! Drink!

[Reply #66 on:]

As you would expect, they show it here 

It was pretty embarrasing, though. RTE (Irish state broadcaster) hated Dermot Morgan and refused to buy the series. Channel 4 bought it, made a killing, and RTE had to go to them with their tail between their legs and buy it back for an absolute fortune. HAHAHAHA!! That's what they get for not supporting Irish talent.

[Reply #67 on:]

I wish someone would show it here. I think it used to be on, but it's not now. *sigh*

[Reply #68 on:]

So many great British programs and comedies, and Norwegian national television chooses to show Jo Brand...

My sympathies go out to you and the people of Norway

Dave Gorman (guest): "Have you seen Eastenders recently Angus? Ian Beale slept with a prostitute and now she is threatening to blackmail him"
Angus: "Yes, but of course soaps don't portray real life at all (!)"

By favourite joke was a non Angus one though:

In relation to the head line "Pootie-Poot Putin
IAN: This is the nickname Bush has for Putin. Personally I think it is just a memoire. (Imitating Bush) "Pootie... Poot... Putin. Thats the name".
ANGUS: He's got one for Blair too
IAN: "Here boy?(!)"

It's funny cos its true.

The "Gangsta Rap" joke came up in a funny convosation at school today

That reminds me of the optitians bit.
Optician: 'Well his eyesight seems fine, he even read to the bottom line, and i can't see that one'

Camera switches to eyechart showing
D R I N K
D R I N K
as eyecharts do.

Ted: 'Ah, you see father Jack has a particular fondness for that word so why don't you try a different one'
Optician: 'Ah, ok father' (Ted and Dougal leave) 'Now this one was given to me by (Some name i forgot that the anacronym was on the chart)'

This line has me in stitches every time I see it.

IAN: Angus, surely you paid her for the article. I mean, I don't want to dwell on it, but (opens paper and flicks to article) "Angus had me groaning all night"?!? What were you doing, reading the autocue?!

The gangsta rap line keeps coming up in conversations too.

[Reply #76 on:]

Pay and Display? U didn't do the pay part did you?

[Reply #77 on:]

Man I wish I taped that episode, its never gonna get any better then that one 

"Whats Gansta rap?"

[Reply #78 on:]

I have it on tape. So long losers 

[Reply #79 on:]

Let's kill him.
