We're like 4 episodes into the first series!

My favourite british shows:

Bang, Bang It's Reeves & Mortimer
Shooting Stars
Harry Enfield
Young Ones
DAD'S ARMY
Monty Python
Alan Partridge...<- Anything with Steve Coogan as this guy, is brilliant.
Men Behaving Badly
Father Ted
MR. BEAN
The Thin Blue Line

I have to say i didnt much like the office.

I dont know if it gets shown in england yet alone abroad but Still Game was hilarious.
There is no denying it that Britian make the best comedies.
(except when the US has an election freak: )

well the WTN (womens televison network) shows tons of brit dramas on there. And either on YTV(youth television or something) and comedy network they show brit comedies quite often.

and i think CBC shows Mr Bean, cant remember but its one of my friends fav shows.

hey Tripper, you ever seen The Day Today, Alan Partridge is a character in that, it's basically a mock news programme, and it's bloody hilarious, you'll really like that if you like anything with Steve Coogan in

Wasnt that programme on channel 4 (uk) it was like a piss take of the news. They did one about peadophiles and made a reenactment of a man disguised as a school to lure kiddies towards him.
It was funny as f*ck and they even had some celebs giving out warnings about men disguised as schools.

My Lovely Horse
My lovely horse running through the field,
Where are you going with your fetlocks blowing in the wind?
I want to shower you with sugarlumps,
And ride you over fences,
Polish your hooves every single day,
And bring you to the horse dentist,
My lovely horse, You're a pony no more,
Running around with a man on your back,
Like a train in the night,
Like a train in the night.
