Absolutely adore the show of course, and also a fan of "It ain't half hot mum" too. The latter has seen much criticism recently for not being quite "right on" enough. Well I enjoyed it as a lad, and my son likes the DVD set I've got and not a hint of bigotry between us...

cheers,
Don't mention the war! (Fawlty Towers)
There are so many good series from Britain!

I wonder if "Love Thy Neighbour" or "Till Death Us Do Part" will ever get another run?

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
