Well, yes. I'm Pancake, I'm Australian and I fancy British Comedy and the internet in equal measures. I find it difficult to retain adulation for any program, for longer than a month or so, thus a general comedy forum seemed just the ticket.
The first comedy program I recall seeing, and adoring, was Absolutely Fabulous. I do still adore it, and upon re-views, always puzzle as to how my mother thought it would be appropriate for a 6-year-old. Of course, I didn't understand any of the drug or sex stuff back then, which leads me to believe it's much safer to let a child watch something so far removed from appropriate content than that which teeters on the toe-line.
Watching Ab Fab so young, also led me to believe comedy was a female-dominated arena - my town plays host to a Woman's Comedy Festival annually, so this view wasn't really challenged for me until a couple of years ago.
Anyway, other British Comedies I have a big place in my heart for include The Young Ones, Blackadder, Black Books, The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh, Spaced, Nathan Barley, Asylum, Fawlty Towers, Absolute Power, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Nighty Night, Nevermind the Buzzcocks and, oh golly... Even if I try to remember more, I'll still end up cursing myself as soon as I realise how many I've forgotten.
I finally found the first two seasons of Jeeves and Wooster for a decent price last week, and am making my way through that. Utter delight, naturally.
I also love an awful lot of Australian comedians, yet so rarely is gold hit with the program concepts. For the time being, I am satisfied with our multitude of panel shows offering a rotating roster of the hilarious and the baffling.
I have plenty of time for American comedy and, you know, things which aren't strictly comedy, though this doesn't seem the place to elaborate on all that.
So, for now, as the ocean said to the shore
