Not so funny
What makes you laugh at the moment? For health purposes we should be laughing for 18 minutes a day, but I'm barely managing a tenth of that I reckon.
Being an increasingly grumpy old codger, I'm finding all the "young people's" tv comedies dull and derivative, and nothing that has come on recently makes me want to tune in.
Remember tuning in? before push-button TVs, before remote controls? That's the era of comedy I'm into, listening to things like Round the Horne and Beyond Our Ken on BBC Radio 7. That's what I'm reduced to: chuckling at 36 year old radio comedy.
"It looks good, it tastes good, and by golly it is good... if you put enough gin in it."

Grumble. What I want to know is where is that DVD of "Green Wing" that seemed to be promised after that glorious series last year?
Grumble...
Mind, I agree about "Round the Horne". Still hilarious.

i can't give you any information regarding the dvd, but i can tell you that i bumped into the tall curly haired doctor at bank tube station a few weeks' ago, and he told me then that they had a week left of filming the second series, and that it would be shown in march.
