DieselDaisy Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I've never watched Bottom or The Young Ones. They are just things which slipped me by growing up, and never enticed me enough to watch in later life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing Grimms Fairytales as a kid with him presenting, The Young Ones, Bottom, Drop Dead Fred, The New Statesman i remember being on though never watching...he just seemed omnipresent. Bottom is hilairious...oddly enough inspired by Waiting for Godot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, post whatever 'Britishness' you want to remain on topic and as ever, this is as much my thread as it is yours; Anyone can post in them and it's always better to remain on topics in threads etc... Out of interest, is there anything you've seen in here/this thread that you've not heard of before seeing it here?

Out of interest, is there anything you've seen in here/this thread that you've not heard of before seeing it here? yes! Len taught me the meaning of two words ( one was slushi-ness, the other was poof ) also i now kind of know who Purple Aki is. i'm sure there's more but my brain is on shutdown at the moment. i know some British sitcoms, like your version of The Office that we ripped off. i would take David Brent over Steve Carrel any day! and i used to watch My Family because i loved Kris Marshall from Love Actually. but they moved it from the time i used to watch it and then they stopped playing it all together. btw Gabriel Thomson looked so much like David Faustino from our show Married With Children it was uncanny! there's other things i'd love to discuss, and they would for sure stay on topic thanks!

Im not sure slushieness is an actual word yknow, i think it might be a Len-ism, sort of taking the word mushy and turning it into slushy, it just sounded right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake-Pit Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Pimp "We're crashing!" "Okay, I'd make a note of it." "You just crashed on a national monument!" "Terribly sorry, which way to the train station?" "You are under arrest!" "Girl? You have a girl on board"... Then they bribe the cop with the girl/pimping her out.

Snake-Pit Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Telefons in the UK happen, but since public TV is paid for through TV License enforced by law and not public donation; we have them, but for charitable causes instead, seeing all our favourite TV stars get silly once or twice a year in the name to raise money.

Bambi, Old Yeller, things like that. and i still can't watch it. the last thing i saw where an animal died was Marley and Me and i sobbed at the part where Marley had to be put to sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
