I am Arab and I think British comedy is the best. Check out "Yes Minister" and Yes Prime Minister" and you'll understand why. One exception is possibly in my opinion The Office, the American remake was way better (maybe because of Steve Carrell).
@@pokerface7840 Glad you like English humour, Have you watched Only fools and horses, or the vicar of dibley? The office UK was my fave but then im from there it makes sense.
I watched and enjoyed The Vicar of Dibley I think the vicar actress' name is Dawn French. Also absolutely loved Black Adder :D But for me the best of the best is Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister I mean how many shows would you watch 3 times (or rewatch twice as Bernard would point out) I will look up Only Fools and Horses thank you for the reply and the recommendation :D @@AnglOsAxOn2
@@pokerface7840 Yes Dawn French was the vicar. Only fools was, and still is a classic comedy. Ironically Roger Lloyd pack played Characters in both productions, he has sadly since passed away. Hope you enjoy Only fools, some context may need explaining as it is London slang. All the best.
Loved Maggie. I am a Working Class Guy now living in a large home in The London Suburbs thanks to the Blessed Margeret allowing me to escape from social housing. She made me stand on my own 2 feet and I loved the way she sorted out those lazy besterda at THe Print when I worked in Fleet Street and saw them completely abuse their position and have 6 Men ( friends or family of The Union Baron ) doing the work of 2 Guys. Piss-Takers one and all..Maggie got it sorted..
Devy Ruu yea. its like u guys pronounce everything wrong on purpose. its like you had a dare one day on who can come up more riddiculous way of saying commom words.
vilas1512 im only guessing but i can only think that a QS is a well paid, but dull existence, lots of paper and calculations, not a fashionable role at all, suited to men and women who live a stereotypical 2.4 children existence in suburbia with the company car, nandos on saturday, b and q on sunday. Lol.
It's making fun of a TV show around that time called Ask the Family (ua-cam.com/video/w1WZpTSNEfA/v-deo.html). In particular it's making fun of how the programme is an upper-middle-class niche, with everyone doing predictable (and dull) professional jobs that seem so interchangeable they may as well be the same.
one of the best shows on tv at the time
Premise: Cannibalism is preferable to airline food~brilliant!

Simon George Your guess is a very good one.
They were all Quantity Surveyors, which is not normal.

@@rdbom4252 As a Quantity Surveyor I object strongly to your assertion.
