    Well - Walker's crisps had a Bollywood spoof advert a few years ago (which I thought was absolutely hilarious) but had to be withdrawn immediately because of complaints to the IBA so you never know

    I'm guessing from your sig file that you don't have robot wars on TV where you live (the cool BBC version not the US 'Jocks' version) - I mean for machines that can fight back!

    Hey Active is that the one where.....

    they do the "Going Out for an English". Truely great comedy.

    We haven't got the series, (caught this on a tape a guy l know in London sent over), because the Federal Government has slashed the ABCs (our BBC), budget. The ABC are the only channel in Oz, (well ok SBS as well), who show quality TV.

    Thumbs down

    I can't stand it!

    It started off as a radio program on UK's Radio 4 and that was REALLY funny.
    The television version is not worthy of baring the same name.

    Smile I like it

    But I never heard the radio show.

    I do like the sketch when the Indian tourists come to Britain and make a TV program about the poverty and depravation they find!

    "Indian!!" i think that it is a very funny comedy

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    And the "Superman was Indian" sketch from one of the early series. "Course he was Indian -- only country where you can run faster than the trains!"

    One sketch on the radio series that was particularly funny was when the father decided that arranged marrages in the UK were a bit old fashioned so as a compromise he had set up his son with an arranged shag.....
