My Favorite British TV Shows

Gordon's a great Dad - know he wouldn't. My husband swears like a trouper at work as he is a factory worker but I never hear him swear at home.

Another British show I love is Life on Mars - oh and Ashes to Ashes the spin off series. I also adore Auf Wiedersehen Pet - just watched all the re-runs.

Well, Ron, I just Googled pillock to see what it means...I think you may have been close, it's either an idiot or a penis...how did you mean it?

I think Gordon does part of the swearing for effect, part of it's habit, part of it's probably arrogance.  He's like a surgeon, they want all perfection, and expect everyone else to fall into place and do what they're supposed to, they have no patience for anything less, including from themselves.  And, from what I've seen, he's a great Dad, I did see the pictures of him with his kids at the "Harry Potter" premier (what I would have given to go to that!  My kids and I Harry Potter obsessed!!)

I do like the way he  sort of "teaches" how to cook things, very simple and easy to follow (for people like me!)

" it's either an idiot or a penis...how did you mean it?"

 I have recently enjoyed these shows after someone "special" to me, who happens to live in England, showed them to me. I had not heard of most of them before he told me. And not really in this order^.^

1.That Mitchell and Webb Look (Sketch comedy) 

2. The Fast Show, (Sketch Comedy)

3. Father Ted,

4. The IT Crowd,

5. Little  Briton

6. The Mighty Boosh (wierd comedy)

Are You Being Served? and Fawlty Towers:)

My favourite show has to be "Last Of The Summer Wine".  It is pure, gentle entertainment.
