Monarch of the Glen

[stacer]

Has anyone else seen this British show? Both PBS stations here play it, though I can never remember when it's on and only catch it haphazardly. It's really funny. This guy has agreed to be the laird of his father's estate (set in modern-day). There's an Irish cook, a guy who runs around in a kilt talking nonsense half the time, quirky country neighbors, etc. It reminds me a lot of All Creatures Great and Small in tone--part drama, part comedy.

So I see it so infrequently that I think I should rent it on DVD and watch it from the beginning. I think my library has it.

Entropy, have you ever seen it? How recent is the show? (I know that most of the British TV we get here is several seasons behind, if not already cancelled.(

According to the IMDB it's still running.

Sounds good though.  KUED's website says they show it, but I've never seen it.  I'll try to look it up sometime...

Edit:  Ach, it's on at 10 on sundays.  If you'd posted this 2 hours earlier....  ;o)

My parents and I watch that show, because we get BBC America. It's one of my personal favorites. But nothing beats Blackadder.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Yes, but nothing beats the WWI Blackadder

[Spriggan]

no, the first few seasons of Red Dwarf beats all other BBC shows.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

No, your wrong.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

you're all wrong.

I don't have an alternative, I just wanted to participate in the high intellectual argument that made up this discussion.

Oh, I'm sorry.  This is abuse.  You want room 12A, just along the corridor.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

but I came here for an ARGUMENT

[EUOL]

Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

And you cant be bothered to muster a third rate contradiction!

[EUOL]

Ah, what a fun skit.  Thanks for playing along, Jeffe.

I'm a threadjack and I'm ok. I troll all night and I spam all day!

Which leaves the door open for the NEXT Monty Python skit reference....

[EUOL]

You already made it over on the 'Ladies, please help EUOL' thread over in Writing Groups.

I was actually thinking of "Spam spam spam spam!" but we can go with that too (I was hopping skits, not staying within them)
