Agreed on all of those, but you forgot a few of my favourites: Les
Dawson, Tommy Cooper and Bill Bailey.

Dawson was on the list, but you're right about the other two -
marvelous.

So he was! I must have been too high on coke to see that.

Speaking of Kay and Gervais, do you have the second series of Phoenix
Nights and The Office yet? I watched all of second series of The
Office yesterday. ****ing wonderful. I had seen only one full
programme (and various bits from other episodes) of the second series,
so it was a very special dirty pleasure. The second series is better
than the first, I think.

It's all good!! ;-)

It is, but the birthday dildo scene and the pub scene (where he yanks
the girl in the wheelchair out of the way to get to the table, then
shoves her back in when he's comfortable) put it on a magical plane
comedy rarely reaches, IMO. I've seen Brent's 'dance' far too many
times, but it's still wretchedly, horribly, scrotum-witheringly funny.

I'm looking forward to the second series of
Phoenix Nights later today.

I wish C4 would hurry up and get the second series of Black Books out
on DVD.

Yeah, like how much work can it take? It's not like the first one was
crammed full of extra's.

The second season of Black Books rode that magical wave *all the
time*, IMO. Extraordinary. I so wish it would get a release. NOW!

Have you seen People Like Us? I *highly* recommend it, I think it
could be right up your street..

Thank you. Did you ever see Human Remains? It's out on DVD soon. I
*cried* with laughter at some of those scenes. You'll recognise his
wife from the Morris stuff.
