british comedy- male or female?
Daniel:
--- Quote from: Adam Murray ---Growing up in Ireland, if I didn't like Bristish comedy, That would leave me at a severe disadvantage. :P
that being said, my British comedies are Father Ted (its set in Ireland, but or fabulous Irish networks passed on it :( morons ), Porridge, open all Hours, Black Adder and the Phytons.
And Speaking of Bill Bailey, Black Books (with the amazing Dylan Moran) is probally the best comedy show in last few years. that and Spaced
--- End quote ---
I have much love for Father Ted.
Black Books was great, but got worse as it went. The first season is brilliant, by then third season it was getting pretty average. Spaced, on the other hand, was pure gold, all the way.
McTaggart:
Incidently, Spaced never saw air-play in Australia to my knowledge.
I think we also only got half of the first series and the thir series of Black Books.
Conspiracy? I think so.
Inlander:
You need to pay more attention to your A.B.C. T.V. We saw plenty of Spaced, but they put it on pretty late at night.
McTaggart:
How long ago was this? If it's more than a couple of years I don't hink I was nearly cultured enough to notice.
Daniel:
All of Black Books aired here, the first two seasons at least twice.
Spaced was too, as Inlander said, just late at night and not advertised. I only saw one episode, and that was just by random chance - I didn't even realise what it was. Wasn't until a friend of mine purchased the DVDs online that I really got to appreciate it. The thing that I can't make sense of is the fact that it's never made a DVD release, or a higher publicised tv airing, here - especially considering the popularity of other recent British comedies like The Office, Little Britain and Black Books.
But I think that the time for that might be past - around the release of Shaun of the Dead would've been the perfect time to reair Spaced and release it locally on DVD.
