As a Brit, I'm constantly amazed that Americans like Benny Hill. Top of the list is Fawlty Towers. There's only 12 episodes, every one a gem. Monty Python, of course, and it's predecessor "I'm sorry I'll ready that again", ISIRTA, on radio. ANd "I'm sorry I haven't a clue", still going. The Goons, and Hancock. All great radio. Hancock was also on TV - the Blood Donor, for example. Back on TV, Absolutely Fabulous and Only Fools and Horses. Last of the Summer Wine. Yes Minister, Yes Prime Minister and In the Thick of it.

There's always the Jeeves and Wooster series, as done by Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. I think this was after they did four, very short, seasons of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie," which had good bits. During college they did a review with Emma Thompson and someone else that was great. Which leads to similarly distant and hard to find specials, such as the "Beyond the Fringe" crowd. (Which, in turn leads back to radio comedy, and the aforementioned and protogenerative "Goon Show" ...) ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org Few false ideas have more firmly gripped the minds of so many intelligent men than the one that, if they just tried, they could invent a cipher that no one could break. - David Kahn http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/slade/index.html http://twitter.com/rslade http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
