British Comedy Brightens the Day

Monty Python was on TV the past week (Holy grail, meaning of life, the live performance, life of brian was probably aired too but I missed it).

*Sigh* The brits have perfected the art of silly. I am glad it is being kept alive with the likes of Little britain. Shame there isn't more Yes Minister (cerebral) brit humour around. Black books has a brain, but no real social commentary (great to watch all the same). Dead ringers is hillarious (look up "Dead Ringers Bush" on youtube. Fan-bloody-tastic! I especially love the Bush & Blair joint press conference)

And those that are yet to see "Red Dwarf" find it! Watch it! You'll LOVE it! I got out my red dwarf DVDs the other day after watching python on TV as I felt like more good british humour (although red dwarf is definitely a different style of brit humour to python).

I think I may have to dust off The Goodies dvds too, havent seen it in a while. Brilliant, brilliant show... but do I watch Kung-Fu Kapers (Ecky Thump!), South Africa (A great take on the stupidity of racism and aparteid) or Scatty Safari (The Existence of Rolf Harris) hehe, "it was the beards they were after".

Weekdays have their perks. Can't justify going out (have to go to work the next morning) but a couple of DVDs are entirely acceptable
