>>Good :-) I could watch them all, back-to-back, all day, and still laugh at "Ze fallen Madonna viz de big boobies", or Lt Grueber mit der knockwurst down his trousers, "You stupid woman", "Listen verry carefully ... I will say this omnly wahnce" etc., etc.

>Wasn't it "I vill say zis only vons"? Well, never mind - I'm in no mood for spells.

I was in a hurry. More like:

"Leesten verry carefully ... I will say zis only wahnce"

>Speaking of great British comedies, there's a good one running Saturday nights (right after Rosemary & Thyme and Python remix) - "Red Dwarf". I never thought anyone would ever be able to put up a good SF comedy, but this one has me bowling of laughter.

Totally agree! You only just getting that. I think they did c. 6 series and they get better towards the middle series.

>nb. I had a dispute with one of the daughters on "But HGTTG is a comedy", where I argued that HGTTG is first and foremost a full scale SF novel, which is funny all the way, but has all the plausibility of serious SF work. It's, IMO, much more than just a comedy.

If you're saying this about Red Dwarf - exactly, but I don't understand what "HGTTG" is ???
