Oh god no. Hyacinth Bucket? That's a fucking unfortunate cultural envoy no?

TheMercenary · 01-08-2009, 08:52 PM

I love that show.

DanaC · 01-08-2009, 08:56 PM

Ok, cool. I loved it. Funny as hell. Great escape. You probably hated Faulty Towers as well. Whatever.

DanaC · 01-08-2009, 08:58 PM

Oh no. Fawlty Towers was brilliant!

(you were talking about Keeping up Appearances right?)

TheMercenary · 01-08-2009, 08:59 PM

NO.

DanaC · 01-08-2009, 09:01 PM

Hand me my pearl-white slim-line push-button telephone with automatic last-number redial. It's an exact replica of one in Sandringham House.

My Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles will never do...

I wasn't allowed to watch the Young Ones, but the guy on the left was in Drop Dead Fred, which was one of my absolute favorite childhood movies.

Rik Mayall. I was in Grad school with his sister at the time he had the quad bike accident. The media reporting all the worried family gathered at the bedside was somewhat of an exaggeration.... and guess what! Apparently, IRL, he's...... a complete arsehole.....imagine that!

Did Bottom Ever make it over here? or the one about Alan B'Stard MP? ...the New Statesman

I was addicted to the Young Ones when i was a kid. Me and my bro used to do do impressions, we knew all the main lines of dialogue.

Next day at school that was all we talked about.

Man this is really heavy! We plant the seed, right, then nature grows the seed, and then we eat the seed!

There was a Smpsons episode which baffled me. Bart was watching a British (English) sitcom, and the family were all really violent to eachother. I mean it was like Itchy and Scratchy, but realistic and involving the whole family.

I spent ages trying to work out what they were referencing. I may even have asked on here, because it genuinely puzzled me.

In the end, I decided it was The Young Ones (or one of the Edmondson/ Mayall spinoffs) translated into a family sitcom. Which they were never meant to be. But then I guess the casual violence of The Young Ones, Filthy Rich & Catflap and Bottom is shocking in its own way.
