I'm pretty sure videos are available in the UK, but since they'll be
in PAL format thats not much use... However a few months ago there
was a new program made ``Further Up Pompeii'', which carried on from
the original, Ludicrus (Frankie Howard) was now free, with his own
slaves...

Due to the death of Frankie Howard I doubt any more will be made, but
you might want to look out for it on PBS or wherever.

A Bit of Fry & Laurie, appeared for the first time on Austrailia last night,
and I am confused what they are talking about between sketches, where they
are dressed up as different people as if they are just ordinary people in the
street, and saying things like "Oh, I wouldn't suck it.." etc.  It seems to
be funny, but I can't get the drift of whats going on...

Does anyone know if "Brush Strokes" and "Only Fools and Horses" have ever been
shown on any PBS stations? They were 2 of my favo(u)rite shows when I lived in
Leics. a few years ago. 
Oh - and while I'm at this, I may as well ask: a couple of years ago I heard 
that the good people who put out "Spitting Image" were working on a US version.
Anyone know what ever happened to that?

Actors consider 'Macbeth' a very unlucky play, therefore they avoid mentioning
the name of the protagonist. Mch the same as saying 'break a leg' rather
than 'good luck'.

Just out of curosity, long ago and far away I once caught a few episodes
of Up Pompeii on the Tube on PBS.  I thought it was great, in the same vein
as one of my favorite musical, "A funny thing happened on the way to the
Forum", but quite a bit ruder.  Unfortunately, I've never seen it since.

Is this gem available to the US Market?  If not, why?

It's a pisstake of programs in Britain like `That's Life' where they go out
onto the streets to ask people what they think of some strange new food or
ask old grannies to show you their knickers.

   I do believe that OF&H is shown on some stations in the country, so it
may be possible for a station near you to get it.

   Brush Strokes I think was (edited) on A&E a few years ago.  I haven't
heard of it being on any public stations, though.

In the mid-1980s there was a show set in a pub, with Spitting Image
characters (of famous people, of course) and human actors.  I don't
remember what it was called nor where it aired, but it was late at
night, and only ran for a few weeks.

Macbeth is a curse. The actors chant to exorcise the evil spirits.

What is the chant?     "Hot potato, (something), thus will make amends"

 The version I saw looked old!, more 50's than 70's, but there again the 70's
 seem like only yesterday to me. The second actor along side Eric
 Sykes though was definitly Tommy Cooper, (who probably deserves a
