Comment: Is the thin blond guy in the British Office in the Pirates of the Carribean movies?
Making fun of Daniel Radcliffe? I really like him... he seems down to Earth despite his early success... I made a 3 episode take-off on SNL's "Mr. Bill" in which we had a character called "Mr. Happy Dude" as played by a lego man... one episode included a character I created called "Harry Potter w/ a gun"... it's basically what it sounds like... it was an exagerrated version of HP, who always had a gun, and was constantly debating whether or not to commit suicide b/c of his terribly depressing life...

Comment: Coupling was a great British sitcom and so was The Catherine Tate Show including her 2009 Christmas Special nan's christmas carol. david tennant appeared as the ghost of christmas present and boy was he sexy! Coupling was created by the new executive producer of Doctor Who. david tennant was also in Extras as the 10th Doctor going up against a giant slug (ricky gervais).

Comment: Nice video, I would have ranted about shows I like that you did not cover but instead I'll just state that I've always thought that if NBC ever made a Friends spinoff staring Monica and Chandler it SHould be a combination of Chief & Keeping up apperances

Comment: I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention Black Books. One of my personal favorites. Perhaps you haven't seen it? If not, I highly recommend it.
Still, this was an entertaining episode, giving me tips on some new shows I should check out. Spaced in particular sounds very interesting =)

Comment: I'm British and i'd never have thought that Only Fools & Horses would travel well since it's so quintessentially british. It was voted Britain's favourite sitcom by a BBC poll a few years back.
Anything with Rowan Atkinson in it is usually good, including the sketch show Not The Nine O'Clock News which may actually be better than Monty Python.
My favourite sitcom is I'm Alan Partridge with Steve Coogan about an ex-TV chat show host. I also recommend Red Dwarf and ,for fans of Mr Bean, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.

Comment: I know it doesn't count as a sitcom, But I think you should try watching Hale & Pace.
By the way, you may need to check about cencoring some of the scene because I noticed some sexual references and a certen "f word"
That Fellow: I don't see the problem. The more risque parts I showed aren't even That risque and it shows that the UK television stations are more lax on censorship, which I think is great. Plus, Daniel Radcliffe holding a used condom? I don't see how that isn't funny.Name: Robbins
