Actress Mollie Sugden (Mrs Slocombe in Are You Being Served?) Dies at 86 2 Replies

From BBC News - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8129617.s Sugden played the wonderful character Mrs. Slocombe. I think Are You Being Served hooked me on British comedy.

The Cracker series staring Robbie Coltrane is excellent.

Not a comedy but it does have some laughs and is a great British TV show:
Cracker
Netflix doesn't have the first season but Blockbuster On Line does so I've seen all 3 and love this show. I would recommend that you watch the series in order. It's about catching criminals but there's a lot of personal story on the main characters so it should be seen in order.

Just watched Butterflies starring Wendy Craig a comedy from the 70's... it was too subtle and "grown-up for me at the ripe old age of 20.
It is perfect the second time around funny and smart.

Besides Faulty Towers, Monty Python and Extras, does this include the very laugh cause they're overboard violence Guy Ritchie films?

I've never heard of it but just looked it up on the web and it looks good. Looks like it's not available in DVD for the U.S. Rats. I want to see this.

Did anyone ever see Gimme, Gimme, Gimme?

Funny, strange show. Loved the camp, the relationships, Linda's hair-it reminded me of ketchup and mustard.
