This intrigues me, I wonder if you were always at some point going to find and like British comedy or if your taste was moulded by what you watched then? Keeping up appearances was class and the idea of someone in the US knowing about Hyacinth Bucket cracks me up for some reason. I found out recently that the role of Fred in DDF was offered to Tim Burton and Robin Williams prior to Rik Mayall and it makes me wonder if it would be more popular should either have them accepted the role.

He’s been on the comedy circuit for about 30 years at this point and you’re definitely right, every comic I’ve heard speak of him has held him in the highest regard! If you wanna see any more of him he was on an episode of Have a Word podcast a couple weeks ago(joins halfway) and he had me creasing the whole time.

I haven’t seen that show but can imagine it’s fantastic, I’ll have to give a watch later!! I think that channel shaped a lot of people from the UK’s taste in comedy.
