Re: British Television

I remember Sunday nights watching the local PBS station WTTW in Chicago in the late 70's and early 80's and seeing the 
three of the best shows produced in the UK:

Monty Python at 10pm
Dave Allen at 10:30pm
Dr. Who (no commercials - 1 1/2 hours long, woot!) at 11pm.

Monday mornings at school were blurry affairs...

I never see anything about Dave Allen at Large any more... it was some seriously funny stuff sometimes.  I remember at 
least three stories about how he lost the top of one of his index fingers.

Re-watching it, I like it again.
But I am not sure I like the extreme racism depicted there.
