PhD in a sitcom, what would you choose? Page 3

Or that fat bird from Coronation Street (not narrowing it down much, I expect) with her specialist subject of Carry On films.

She was ace though.

And I think I got all of the questions right too. :/

Bottom - series 2, episode 3.

I will do my doctoral thesis in why Richie's littlewoods catalogue always mysteriously opens at the lingerie page.

Def.

Haha!

I hope she got lots of points.

I think she did very well on that but stiffed on the general knowledge.

Come to think of it, I very nearly did my final degree dissertation on a compare and contrast of an episode of Fawlty Towers, Annie Hall and the play Tartuffe by Moliere. However, my tutor thought I might have been creating a a lot of work for myself and I just ended up doing the Moliere. Good choice. Not many academic reference works on Fawlty Towers to 'quote' from.

Ah yes, that pesky general knowledge round. I would probably be useless at that too. Depends on luck though really.

British sitcoms. Full stop.

Are you including Filthy Rich and Catflap into this.

Anyway, I'm going for Arthur Lowe. Or possibly the Old Guys theme-tune, no (moment of madness there), Arthur Lowe.

Yes.

That's what I love about Aaron, he's so politically correct.

Pleased
