british Comedy show
For anyone living in the DC area and doesn't have access too, or have BBC America and is starved of English comedy (unless you like those awful Keeping up Appearances type sticoms or re-runs of Are You Being Served)
There's a 2 hour programme on MPT (Maryland Public Television) at 8pm tomorrow (Sat) of British comedy, introduced by Lennie Henry.
I'm not sure but it may be networked and be on all public TV channels.

Re: british Comedy show
[QUOTE=NC Penguin]Is it one of the "Funny Men/Women of British Comedy" shows? Whatever it is, I think it's part of my public TV station's current fund drive...
Not sure, I just saw an advert for it last night with Lenny Henry. Showed clips from Fawlty Towers, Blackadder etc

They've been advertising it here too (KNME Albuquerque), although I forget when they're showing it.
Ah, Sat March 5.

Re: british Comedy show
They only showed clips from programmes that they broadcast over here. Lenny's script was shite. It was all shite

Totally agree with the comment - it was shite. Watched about 20 minutes of it and I was so embarrassed!

Seemed to me like a big ego trip for Lenny Henry.
