The Rutles: A look back at Dirk, Nasty, Stig and Barry

The early 60′s were not especially kind to The Rutles. Languishing in the Rutland Cavern for years, it wasn't until 1975 when this relatively unknown British pop group fronted by Neil Innes appeared on Rutland Weekend Television singing "I Must Be In Love" from their 1965 album, A Hard Days Rut, that The Rutles began their assault on the world.

Happy 25th anniversary - Red Dwarf!

15 February is definitely a day to celebrate if you love British telly.

As we reported back in February of last year, a bit of PG Wodehouse brilliance is coming your way as Blandings premieres tomorrow on BBC One at 1830. For those that feel Downton Abbey has a bit too much grandeur for its own good and needs a bit of farce (or more than it already has in some people's minds, anyway) then Blandings is well worth your telly time this Sunday.
