Protege - Black Adder ...Damon - er, yes, whatever!<br /><br />Protege - Black Adder was great, probably should have included it along with Father Ted, although I don't know if the latter is truly British! I've never heard of My Hero. <br /><br />Kevin - for some reason "Are You Being Served" is huge here. I've no idea why, it's terrible! I used to watch it as a kid but I didn't know better in those days...<br /><br />As for Reginald Perrin, I have all three series here. When I watched the first couple of episodes I felt the same way you do, but after that I realised how much of a genius Leonard Rossiter was (I think he was up there with Peter Sellers). I don't know what PBS showed, but by the 2nd series when "Grot" was being so successful and then being destroyed by Reggie, it was avid viewing. The third series isn't so good, but still funny IMO.<br /><br />For some strange reason, I never liked "Rising Damp" which many people see as Rossiter's best stuff.

Maybe it didn't age very well.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098829376800781636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-13845357924088449132009-05-19T01:03:00.000-10:002009-05-19T01:03:00.000-10:00I also like "My Hero" and "The Black Adder".;)I also like "My Hero" and "The Black Adder".;)Zuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428485586445604.post-46509279614110396232009-05-18T23:29:00.000-10:002009-05-18T23:29:00.000-10:00Ummm Hello...
