Not much worth watching on Oz television during this silly season, but I am enjoying two Brit. programs: Rose & Maloney & Footballers' Wives. Here's a description of a typical episode of Footballers' Wives:

Amber and Conrad find themselves at the mercy of a Triad gang demanding a huge sum of money. Harley's girlfriend Shannon joins him in London, but soon finds her face doesn't fit and pays a visit to a plastic surgeon. Tanya discovers Frank is broke, and soon sets her sights on Conrad - resulting in a catfight with Amber. Kyle seeks solace in gambling dens.

Talk about action packed! Laughing

I just heard that LEAGUE OF GENTELMEN are making a movie, I wonder if it will make it over here? They only released the first season on DVD here. I woul like to get the other two but don't know how.

The members of the League of Gentlemen are some seriously disturbed people, and damned funny as well. I hope the film gets made, thiefoflight. Have you seen "Shaun Of The Dead"? I was wondering how well some of our "darker" comedy travels across the pond.

I haven't seen it yet, but my friends all liked it.
Another film that was a favorite was HOW TO GET AHEAD IN ADVERTISING and I finally saw WITHNAL AND I

And what did you think of Withnal & I, thiefoflight? I loved it. Mind you, that was years ago ...

It makes absolutely no difference if you miss an episode or 3 of Footballers', you can always find something to intrigue & snort over. It gets even wilder? Oh good! Laughing

Chef slays me, as does The Vicar of Dibley. Those two are so subversive in their humour.
