[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 230002, member: 27"] Oh, I'm so glad you said that. My local PBS station bought this series to air in the late-1980s. Though I was game for just about anything British TV cranked out, I had to give up on this show after a few episodes for that very reason. :( I know some shows have a much more "gentle" sense of humor (relying more on interactions rather than jokes/punchlines) but I feared that maybe the humor was lost on me because of a culture barrier or something. The station only aired the series once, so maybe others realized it wasn't the kind of in-your-face funny that they expected/wanted. [/QUOTE]
