I heard Fawlty Towers didn't want to continue with substandard material (relatively), so they just called it a day. Kinda sucks, but its legacy is secure, so there's that.

Just finished the third ep where they hold a Dibley fair, thinking Elton John is going to show up. I love this little village already.

Alice's actress died, huh? Seems it was only in the past few years. Shame.

"Satan"



This animals ep is pretty great.



Calling Alice "Sissy Spacek on ecstasy" was great, too.

If you like the anarchy in this show you might enjoy Green Wing too. Much ruder, but sort of similar in a way, with a group of insane but loveable characters.

Going in, I thought it might end up being too corny for modern relevance, but naw, it's more hits than misses. Anyone who grew up in a small town can probably feel at home with some of these situations, like putting something important in a newsletter or having "The Great Storm" type events. Hell, I still remember the Blizzard of '98 in my neck of the woods, haha...

The kid saying "I love you, Herod!" kills me.



Also, best joke so far. "Santa Claus goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor, I think I have a mince pie stuck up my bottom." So the doctor says, "Bend over and I'll take a look." Sure enough, it's as he feared. The doctor then says, "But don't worry, I have a cream for that.'"

Geraldine's surprise suitor felt contrived at first, but was a bit d'awww by the end. Of course, learning her first name is really Boudicea is great, too.



Just one more ep to go until I can start IT Crowd!

Holy crap, the gag where Jen is riding the mail cart and it looks to that other guy like a disembodied head...wow. This is easily the funniest ep so far. The ending when Jen is yelling at the dude through the fogged-up glass and he's losing his mind is amazing.
