Pure style as always mate lol.
We had BBC shows on our public broadcast (PBS) tv channels here. Idk, I used to laugh at "Are You Being Served" - it was all reruns by the time we got it here.
The vast majority of our external programming for both radio and tv came from England until the 80s when the market structures behind it (even including where book publishings were sourced) was finally deregulated. What we saw from America was limited, but was for the most part the cream of productions.
absolutely in stitches listening to that !! "I've seen a few existentialist, I've been to funerals" - and so many more! absolutely genius! I mean this wins the thread. I thought I had a good one for you but, not close to this. If I had this when I was in HS and having to learn the different movements, I would have understood them soooo much better.
The causes of WWI was a major area of study for me in Modern History during my high school senior years and can very much appreciate the comedic gold of that sketch. Sad truth is that it is the sad truth of it all, incompetence and ego were the main causes. Granny was always quite dissapointed in her boys.
So good to see more aussie material coming to the fore, especially those two! I welcome and encourage you to add as you wish and to hopefully find more items to give you a laugh.
I should also give an honourable mention to the interviewer, Robin Williams. He has for decades hosted the premier science communication program here called "The Science Show" on ABC radio, for which this sketch was commissioned and featured as a bit of fun.
yeah, well for you all it's a bit more recent...and you have a fair bit longer attention span
