The refined gorrila - how about the belgian habits one, where Atkinson says if one vomits at the table it is a sign that they have enjoyed the food so much "they wish to bring it back so they can eat it all over again." Ha! Gross... Love his accent though. I found it on dvd :) My mum's english, so she loves all those shows (Vicar of Dibley, the Good Life...) The Thatcher jokes are a bit beyond me though.

Aren't you based in Australia? I'm surprised "Not the Nine O'clock News" made it all the way out there, it was mostly jokes about Thatcher if I remember.

That was EXACTLY what I was thinking when I wrote that line! Man I love that show! Rowan Atkinson looks so young - and do you remember the one about John McEnroe? His parents tell him off for slurping his juice and he goes nuts with the "I did NOT make a slurping sound! You are the pits of the earth! You are so INCOMPETANT!" OMG I can’t believe you know that!

It ended with the wonderful something-along-the-lines-of line "oh yes, well, we'd eaten the other passengers several days ago" That's fascinating about the sharks...I suppose it's a good way of ensuring that the strongest ones survive, and are well fed too! “Not the Nine O’clock News” had a great sketch like that, a spoof interview with two ‘plane crash survivor’ victims, talking about how they got so desperate for food that they eventually had to do the unthinkable…eat the aeroplane meals.
