When writing my cousin, who was stationed in Briton at the time, and telling him we could now see BBC Monty Python on TV he thought that was greater than the invention of sliced Bread :-)) When it first appeared in US guess I was in Jr or Sr High school and certainly didn’t understand the British humor. As I grew older appreciated it more and still watch their movies when they might be found. DH always liked ‘The League of Gentlemen - which was certainly not my taste in good TV watching. Nor was the Graham Norton Show....which I believe lasted only a short time. Best best MP show was the Dead Parrot and best Fawlty Towers show as The Rat as a pet who had escaped. Now those were funny that could be understood. :-))
Different strokes, I guess. I thought League of Gentlemen was one of the best comedies ever made — I have a DVD of it around here somewhere. And Graham Norton wasn’t short-lived. He’s still on today, and I watch it on BBC America weekly.
I miss “The Benny Hill Show.”
