For a bit of *living* british comedy have a look at
rec.games.mornington.cresent (sp on cresent)

Based upon i'm sorry i havn't a clue (The R4 series,
Tim Brook-Taylor, Willie Rushton, Graham Garden, Bill Oddie &c)

A long running *radio* series, makes a nice change for a.b.h,
not just of very clever, quick comedy, but an organic thing over
in r.g.m.c

OOh, we dont get it here, and I'd love a go. I have an extra-special
manoeuvre involving Houslow West, Central _and_ East that I'd really
like to try. (Yes , the Heathrow loop must be played _before_ the second
quadrant).

Bring back the balls, that's what I say.

May I introduce Mr and Mrs Tarsauce and their sailor son, Tar Tarsauce.
And here come the Awncocktails and their delicious daughter, P.R.Awncocktail.
