Description

Warning: This episode is for a more mature audience. It is Part 1 of our two part discussion on British Comedies. In this episode we discuss the boom of British humour starting in the 1960s to the 1980s. From ground breaking shows such as "Carry On", "The Two Ronnies", "Are You Being Served?" and of course "Monty Python's Flying Circus".  We then look at the progression of humour into the 70 and 80s with "Fawlty Towers", "The Young Ones", "Only Fools and Horses" and so much more. We also examine British "Naughty Words" and the differences between North American and British humour. Also on the show: - trivia (Thanks San Diego Sabers...YOINK!) - listener feedback!
