Only fools and horses..

and how many of you knew that Paul Hogan (Crockadile Dundee) started off as a copy of the Benny Hill show..the Paul Hogan show, Michael Crawford started off with 'some mothers do have em' and Brian Connely had a catch phrase 'It's a puppet' and his co star was Larry the loafer.

Billy Connelly was a Welder, then a folk singer, then a comic, and now a presenter.

I preferred the UK version of that one, actually. 90% of the shows on BBC1, BBC2 and STV back then were crap... went off about 10pm... but the other 10% were exceptionally good. Nowadays there are 400 channels of crap ... the exceptionally good ones don't seem to last.

There is/was one UK show... Life on Mars... I like the brit version, but didn't care much for the USA version.

Chief's right on this one.  Jack pretended to be gay.

I grew up watching that show in the U.S., so I'm here to tell ya, jack was straight.

Nope, Jack Tripper in Three's Company pretended to be gay so the landlady (and later landlord) wouldn't kick him out.

And A Man About the House became Three's Company.

I think you spoiled that..the joke was that Robin Trip the man about house was straight and everyone knew it except the idiot landlord, he just pretended to be gay so that he could live with the girls..in the American version he was gay.

Some British humour (humor?) doesn't travel across the pond..

Mmmm, fatties. Er, I mean McDonalds.
Actually I treat my body kinda okay. I like to stay away from fast food and focus my "junk" intake on quality junk. Good beer, cigars, fresh baked goods and chocolate. Homemade type love. And it's never too late, enjoy. We'll be dead soon enough.

I think you have more fatties than us but we are trying hard to catch up..

I guess I'd like to lose 40lbs but it's too late for me.

As far as I know we still do..

Although these days with obesity it is "Oops sorry love I thought you were in the club"

John.

;D  We have the same problem here.  They even have a TV show called "I didn't know I was pregnant".  That's how many large, unknowingly-pregnant women we have here.  . . . enough to make a TV show.   ::)    :o   ???

Yeah the first time a guy asked me if I had a fag, my fast wit saved me.... errrr, no I said calmly as I pulled out and lit a ciggy... not really, I never smoked cigs... I just moved further down the bar.  Faggots come from a fire... now almost always called coals.But the meatball version is very good when made right.

My wife and I are really into brit detective shows. We watch all we can find.  I hate the British Wallander, love the Swedish original...

I remember Steptoe and son... or similar it became Sanford and Son here. And A Man About the House became Three's Company.

When my wife was alive we used to watch all the Columbo shows..The funniest tv series with wonderful scriptwriting and double meanings is the British "Coupling" The star is the British captain out of the Pirates of the Carribean films who was going to marry the heroine in the first film.

If you get the chance to watch it, record it and watch it twice so that you understand it, you would have to be dead not to laugh at that..

Do they still say "in the Club" when a girl gets preggers?  Or is that too old of an expression?
