Come As You Are - Following a support group for premature ejeculation.

Laughing out loud

Regarding military sitcoms, 'Allo 'Allo! is close-ish...

How about one set in 19th Century Italy. it would be Resorgimental :)

Has there been a Biblical sitcom?

If not I want one. Either way, actually.

I wrote the bible 2 when I was younger, followed on a few years after all the nonsense of bible had calmed down...wasnt recieved very well.

Pope Town. The one that BBC Three chickened out of showing 'cos the Catha-holics (getting drunk on religion) objected. Got a DVD release though.

I saw that. It wasn't very good to be honest.

No indeed. It was alright. Not laugh a minute, but they've broadcast worse.

Was that the cartoon?
I want a proper one.

Correct, for 10 points.

Next question...

How can you do it after the Life of Brian?

That's silly.

We'd never get anything done that way.

I do see your point though.

How about an Ex IRA member and a retired English cop who share a flat in Cardif and keep trying to kill each other?

Their friendly (and totally oblivious) landlady (or cleaning lady?), Doris.

There's something missing from that premise. Can you work a Scotsman (or woman) into it somehow ?

...Who's married to an ex-Nazi who escaped the Nuremburg trials and often misinterprets the two protagonist’s attempts to set each other up as them sneaking around to uncover the truth about him.

...with hilarious results.

Hmmm... I think we're on to a winner here.

Dat'sha keepah!
