Are there any Welsh speakers on the forums? If so can anyone tell me what Radio Cymru's satirical comedy Yr Aelod is about and if it is funny?

As is Le Cop, a French comedy about a dodgy policeman.
The original 'Wild Target' in french with a brilliant performance by Jean Rochefort and simply one of the funniest, strangest films ever. I am however, not talking about the Bill Nighy remake, not a patch on the original. Also anything by Jaques Tati, especially Mon oncle and Hulot's Holiday.

I love this film. Funny is the "old world vs. mordernism"-motif.
Solsidan (The Sunny Side) is a great Swedish comedy about life in a wealthy Stockholm suburb.
How about Rab C Nesbit?

With two of the cast of The Night Shift, but as completely different characters. Perhaps a bit like "Taking Over the Asylum". Has the same kind of slow buildup as the series progresses as the Night Shift/Day Shift/Prison Shift.
Can be found in Shopicelandic, has English subtitles.
