for those not from the uk but of course anyone can post if they wan't to
It may be useful for us brits to hear from those of you not from this country, to say what it is you like or dislike about british programs, for instance, the "britishness" of shows such as Dr Who etc. why do you like a certain shows and does it being made in the uk add or take away from your enjoyment? please feel free to state the obvious as we may not be aware of how you percieve us.

Helpful H.
Have you tracked down that Thank Your Lucky Stars footage of Hughie Green doing the puppet song yet?
I've drawn a blank here in Brum
Yopu ask about the price of fish. A fish and chip supper for the Mulrennan household cost 8 of your English pounds. Although I haven't bought one for ages. It's too hot. More like saled weather.
I cannnot help you re the figs. Haven't had one for years. Does a Jacobs fig roll count?

Gadzooks! that would be a find ..a bit of vid of Huugie singing the puppet song, although i think it was the famous ' Tony Rees' Diaries ' that said it was just a backing song to a real puppet act on TYLS ?..which also would be a good find i suppose?
yes only 'jacob's fig rolls none of this supermarket own brand rubbish.
ps, you found my picture William

Hello from America.Back in the 70s, watching Python, 'No, Honestly', Goodies, etc, I felt British Tv was far superior to American, and It's Britishness was what attracted me to It.The lighting and camera placement were always so much better.In the US they just seemed concerned with getting the actors in the frame and nothing else.And I'm sure you're all familiar with how inane US sitcom writing was in the mid-late 70s.I was always so frustrated that American stations couldn't show more British shows[we barely got ANYTHING then besides Python]and less shows like "Hee-Haw Honeys".

"Monty Python" & "The Goodies" were two of the best of British from the seventies which was a far superior time for us comedy wise than now. The eighties had it`s moments like "Only Fools & Horses" and the nineties with "One Foot In The Grave", but sadly since then, British comedy has gone right off the boil. Such a shame as the talent is out there, but very little of it gets on TV.

Well what about Coupling? It's a bit more of a standard sitcom format, but I'd say the talent is there.
How many non-English people browse here anwyay apart from myself?
