Geddy's love of Python is evidenced in the added "lyrics" to end of "Camera Eye" on the Time Machine tour.

The comedy saxondale starring steve coogan, that ged mentions, has a rush quote in it....glittering prizes and endless compromises shadow the (you know) - 1st side of hemispheres- which it was intentionally wrong ... don't know why.

 

preferred steve coogan in this another great british comedy - alan partridge, wonder if ged has seen this?

The classic scene: (and you should recognise Philip Madoc from numerous Doctor Whos, appearing here as a U-Boat Captain)

I have the complete set. Was surprised to find out the first few episodes were in black and white. I have not seen them before on TV.

Blackadder is quite memorable, definitely a unique take on "Alternative History" I especially liked the first season with Brian Blessed as Richard IV. Although Seasons 2-4 were a laugh as well especially when in season 2 Percy tries his hands at alchemy and creates some "Green."

 

Mr. Bean was my introduction into British comedy, I still find it hilarious to this very day, I have to say of all the scenes that made me crack up the most It would have to be the Scene where he is on a high diving platform, that and the scene where he is in church and he does not know the words for the hymn.

 

Monty Python honestly has been one of my comedy favorites, I remember seeing the musical Spamalot which I thought was genial and well thought through. I have also seen all their films however I have not seen every sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus. I am also a big fan of Cleese and Palin's work outside of Monty Python, especially in Fawlty Towers and A fish called Wanda Not to mention I have read all of Palin's books where he travels the world.

A Fish Called Wanda is one of my all time favourite films. Apparently American TV execs thought American audiences wouldn't get Monty Python so it ended up on PBS. We used to hold parties to watch it on video.
