#RedDwarf is apparently free to watch on Tubi. ALL OF IT.
Came tantalisingly close to securing someone awesome for Take Three, my upcoming radio show. Sadly, it didn’t work out. So, back to square one. I’m in search of someone who loves britcoms. Any era, any shows. Personality trumps nationality.
You: bright, funny, loves to talk.
Me: looking for someone bright, funny, and loves to talk.
Taping later this month. If you can’t help, please give us a wee boost. Thank you!!

TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY
BEANE'S OF BOSTON - 5/5/1979, CBS
Today in 1979, CBS aired this unsold pilot for a proposed U.S. remake of ARE YOU BEING SERVED?, the long-running Britcom set in a department store.
Alan Sues goes a bit too over-the-top as Mr. Humphries (the implicitly queer role originated by John Inman on the BBC series and its Aussie remake). Sues had previously been the "resident sissy" on the hit 1960s-70s sketch-comedy series ROWAN & MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN.
It was common for networks to broadcast whole evenings of busted sitcom pilots. Officially these evenings had umbrella titles like "Comedy Playhouse," but some people in the industry snarkily called them "Garbage Can Theater."

Now playing: Season 2 of Father Ted
A really good friend of mine recommended the series, so having watched Season 1 and loved loved loved the hell out of it, I'm taking the opportunity to scream-laugh my damn fool head off again.

@anne_twain I was going to say “Don’t mention the war”, but already selected by @sister_ratched. Therefore “It’s only a flesh wound” would have to come second

I'm tossing up between "Ooh I know!" and " Out the door!"
Wrapped up A Bit of Fry and Laurie (again). Before that, Are You Being Served? and 'Allo 'Allo. So, what mid-to-late 20th century British comedy should I (re)binge next? (Some people put on music while they work. I put on campy Brit humor.) #television #britcom #comedy
Well if no one else will I will. 😂 #aybs #AreYouBeingServed #BritCom

I've genuinely enjoyed #Ghosts although I discovered it only after the American version. I'm glad there's one more series but so sad to hear it's ending.

Only two episodes left in my #Miranda re-watch. Sigh! It goes by too quick every time but this is one show I can watch over and over (and have).
