My favorite Britcom was the "Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin"
Haven't seen it re-run in a long time.

My favorite Britcom was the "Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin" That was a great show. My favorite was "No, Honestly" - it only ran a couple of seasons and has not been rerun for over 20 years. Very funny. It was about a young couple (he - an out of work actor, she a none-too-bright debutante from the upper class). My favorite episode is where she tried to give a dinner to some of his prospective employers. She wanted everything to be perfect, so she soaked the seafood in brine (so they would feel at home). When the diners bit into the ultra-salty food, they all grabbed their glasses of wine and gulped a drink. Then everyone sprayed the wine out because it was extrememly hot - the wife had put the wine bottle on the hot radiator because it was supposed to be served at "room temperature". (Maybe you had to be there - it really was funny.)

Ohmigosh, I LOVED that show! To me it was more than a comedy, it always made you think. Remember how he used to invoke the "crypto communists"? And he'd always picture that awful creature, a warthog or whatever it was, when his mother in law was mentioned? And Tom, the wine making son in law?
