My two favorite Spike Milligan jokes are:

Mother sardine to baby sardine as a submarine passes by: "Don't be

for depth:
First person: "Would you like a picture of Queen Victoria?"
Second person; "No thanks, I'm trying to give them up."

By the way, why is there no mention of "Blot on the Landscape" (or did I
miss something)?

Penelope Keith also played Mapp in the "Mapp and Lucia" series on PBS 6ish
years ago.

Anyone here ever see "Blott on the Landscape?"  A series of half-hour shows
with David Suchet as a foreign gardener who kept having inexplicable
flashbacks to Nazi Germany (okay, maybe they weren't _that_ inexplicable)
and Geraldine James as the lady of the manor.  At some point towards the end
of the series lions ate her husband....

Or "Last of the Summer Wine," which ran on A&E at the same time as "Blott on
the Landscape?"  Scruffy old folks, one of whom kept a ferret in 'is

Hey I totally agree with the fact that (North) American networks will ruin 
the show.  Red Drawf has that subtle quality of humor that can only be 
desribed as English.  Now even though in the case of Red Dwarf most of the
humor is more blantent that some British Comedy, I suspect that much of it
may still be over the heads of the American public who can ony understand
people getting hit in the balls with a golf club type humer (Aka the 
vast number of Americans most sadistics and lame home videos).

Besides, anything with ANY cultural/intelectual content is ALWAYS canceled, the
mindless drones just refuse to think.... They would much rather blame all
their problems on OTHER people not thier ignorance/lazyness..

I heard a story years ago that a man died of a heart attack during
the "Hacky Thump" episode.  (That's what I've always though of that 
episode as.)  The Goodies were horrified when they heard, but his 
wife consoled them by saying: "He died laughing, what better way to go?"

I am glad that there has been some comment in this group concerning radio
comedy.  In addition to the great classic radio comedies of the past--like the
Goons, I'm Sorry . . , and Round the Horne--there have been a few good comedies
in more recent times (not on World Service alas) on Radio 4.  The ones I have
in mind are 'Fallen Arches' and something with a title like 'The Secret World
of Rosewood Avenue.'  Both of these were written by Stephen something--someone
else may be able to help here--and both were I thought very funny.  'Fallen
Arches' starred Annette Crosbie as the heroine, and she was great.  Perhaps
other could list here some other recent (probably Radio 4) radio comedies of
similar calibre.  I for one would be interested in a good list of programs to
get folk in the UK to look out for in the event of reruns.  I still think
someone could get rich by packaging and marketing the best of British TV and
radio and making it REALLY AVAILABLE worldwide (and that might even include the
US).  Who has a list of good, recent radio comedies?

I can add, that I have also seen him (Cleese !!) do an australian
commercial (in fact a serie of three episodes) for an australian
snack-something. He just stands there telling that this procuct "is
jolly good" in his own 'Cleese-way', and then he leaves, but he's back
one second later saying there's still some time left, and then he
repeats that the product "is jolly good". Then he stands there looking
at his watch, when the producer tells him to hold the product up, and
so he does. End of episode one.

In the second episode he opens by telling how sorry he is, that they'd
made such a terrible commercial, but this time they have written a
much better one. He grabs in his pocket for the text, but it's gone,
he shouts "hang on" and runs out. A couple of seconds later he's back,
unfolds the paper and wants to read it, but there isn't time, the
commercial ends.

The third episode starts once again with Cleese saying "sorry", but
now he has written the commercial himself, one they just have to
love. Cleese shouts "hit it, girls" then about ten nice girls
walks/dances behind him, and Cleese points at the product while
saying the products name about ten times keeping the rhytm.
He ends the commercial saying "now, that was fun, wasn't it?"
