A lot of the British comedy series play well here. We did have Blackadder re-run more than a few times. Mr. Bean of course, The Two Ronnies, Some mothers do have 'em, Monty Python obviously, Fawlty Towers, Butterflies, Good Neighbours, The Thin Blue Line, Are You Being Served. And many more.

I thought they were all excellent with the possible exception of Fawlty Towers. I know I'm a heretic for saying that, but while there were some very funny moments in it, John Cleese was just a little too 'over the top' for me. A little too much screaming and yelling for my tastes.

>>Prince George of course!

>Yes I know he was in 3 of the Blackadder series. That wasn't my question. BTW I didn't know BA was shown over there.
