What are you watching on TV? Page 72

That doesn't count, as there was a case of urn emptiage.

Apart from Only Fools (and that's only cos Aaron just reminded me), I honestly can't think of a single instance where an urn was featured in a comedy, so I can't really agree/disagree.

Then what did you post for? You're like one of those people who votes "don't know" on internet polls, aren't you?

Honestly, some people!

Pshaw! Harrumph! etc

Thank you, Daily blooming Telegraph . . .

"Spilt ashes are the stuff of comedy. In fact it is difficult to think of a sitcom where the grey remains of a loved one haven't been turned into a rib-tickler. They were knocked over in The Vicar of Dibley, sucked up by a cleaning lorry in Only Fools and Horses and overturned into a pub ashtray in Cold Feet.

When Monty Python's Flying Circus re-united for a stage appearance in 1998, an urn supposedly containing the remains of former member Graham Chapman, who had died of cancer a decade earlier, was ''accidentally'' kicked over. The audience howled with laughter.

Even Hollywood got in on the act. In the comedy Meet the Parents, a champagne cork not only strikes an urn containing Robert de Niro's cremated mother but the family cat uses the fallen ashes as a litter tray."

From this

Because you quoted me! So just on the off chance you were addressing me personally, since you didn't specify an addressee, I was, you know, being polite!
That's the trouble with this country, no one cares for good old fasioned manners any more. Honestly! Double pshaw and harrumph!

That's clearly not what Ellie thinks. You've turned her into a sex addict you know?

Desperate Housewives. The one American show I'm letting myself get hooked into.

Invader Zim

Have not seen any of that in an age!

Nor have I! I'm on That 70's Show. :)

Invader Zim

What a great cartoon eh? I loved Zim.
I'm watching a classic Astro Boy episode. I got the complete series from the Library the other day and it's awesome! Better then I remember even.
