Viv was my favorite, and that was my favorite episode. My favorite line: "Well, it didn't say NOT to fill it up with washing-up fluid!"

I think he was everyone's favourite, he's still acting, he was even in one of the last Star Wars films. Mike and Neil are still out there acting as well, but Rik Mayall died back in 2014, he was on a health kick and had a heart attack while jogging.

I barely recognised him.

He was married to the Ab Fab woman, the one who wrote and starred in the show.

I'm not usually in this thread, but if we're talking British comedies...how about Fawlty Towers? Maybe the rat episode...or the lady with the hearing aid...
 
Fawlty Towers is another classic, I love the one with the German guests, just don't mention the war, I did, but I think I got away with it.

Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson did a movie back in 1999 where they ran a hotel, sort of their own take on Fawlty Towers. It's completely over the top. I went to the theatre to see it, and there was only me and one other guy in there. If you're game, look up Guest House Paradiso.
 
Looks like that one is out of print. Amazon has some used ones but a lot of them aren't region-coded for North America. I'll have to look a little more.

This one never gets old for me..................................


"Is this a piece of your brain.................................." If you watch carefully, the actor struggles to keep a straight face after that line.

I love Brit comedy, but I just couldn't fall in love with The Young Ones for some reason.

Yeah, it was hard to take sometimes. Believe it or not, if I'm remembering correctly, it was aired here in the US on MTV. I guess the musical segments that were in most of them may have had something to do with that.

Without the music segments it may never have been made. The BBC wasn't funding new sitcoms when they were developing it, so they added the music to change its classification to light entertainment, which they were looking for. If only they knew what they were going to get.
 
Watched Elevation on Max tonight. Wasn't bad. Reminded me a bit of A Quiet Place.
 
I also love Open All Hours.................................

This episode was one of my favorites, skip to about the 13-min mark for St. Albert's Day.............................. "I've never heard such rubbish............" "..........................you're next Mrs. Parslo"................................:ROFLMAO:


I used to work with an Arkwright, the guy was totally obsessed with each and every cent that went through the till.
 
I've been re-watching Space 1999 again. Season 1 was far better than the second, but I still enjoy both.

My first time watching the series was in the very late 90's/early 2000's, I would have been something like 13 or 14. It always aired on Nick at Night after 10pm on Saturday evening. At one point it was shown in the early hours of Sunday morning, so I'd be up watching it while everyone was in bed trying not to be freaked out by the various monsters.

I remember the first time I watched the two-part "The Bringers of Wonder" from the second season. Those disgusting creatures gave me nightmares. :ROFLMAO:





 
The F1 in Melbourne. I'm not a huge fan, I'm also doing a Sudoku and playing on my phone at the same time. It was hot and dry yesterday, and cool and wet today, but now they're racing, it's only damp. A couple of observations, the F1 cars don't bead up like I thought they would, I mean there is beading, but I wouldn't be taking a photo to post up on here. And the Aston Martin Medical car, it's a DBX, which I said I didn't really like the look of, well I really like it in Medical Car guise, it looks fantastic. They were using it earlier in the day as the safety car for the F2 race, it was slipping and sliding and twitching, but the driver held it together, the colour was great too.
