BBC Titles on Sale

by Debbie

51S3MS46DPL__AA240_.jpgI recommend you check out the British titles on sale right now at Amazon.com. If you haven’t seen some of these shows, you are really missing out. Some of my favorite shows come from across the pond! I told you last week how I love The Vicar of Dibley. Also on my list of favorites:

Sci-fi meets Sitcom in Red Dwarf, the story of the last human being alive and his not-quite human friends who are stranded on a mining ship millions of light years away.

The brilliant John Cleese in the equally brilliant Fawlty Towers is another don’t miss. Fawlty Towers is the story of Basil Fawlty and his wife Sybil and their hotel filled with unbelievably quirky characters. This show is double you over funny!

Coupling (which stars Jack Davenport from Pirates of the Caribbean), a four season show which is the ultimate in naughty hilarity. It is billed as a show about “nothing but sex” and that description fits it to a T.

Chef! starring Lenny Henry is another brilliant show. Lenny stars as Gareth Blackstock, the brilliant yet ill-tempered chef at Le Chateau Anglais. Though it may not sound like much, this show is outstanding and amazingly funny. Lenny Henry is unmatched (except maybe by his real-life wife, Dawn French)!

These are just a few of my favorites. Others you might enjoy are The Office (on which the American show is based), The Black Adder, the long-running Are You Being Served and As Time Goes By - just to name a few. Go ahead! Don’t be scared to try something new!
