    Recently we found we have access to the iBBC player on the Internet.

    So far I have enjoyed the following shows but need some suggestions from you Brits! I look through the vast archives and there is too much to process at once...

    Still Game

    Mrs Brown

    My Family

    Fawlty Towers

    Little Britain

    Absolutely Fabulous

    Bottom

    The Young Ones

    Coupling

    And some others I can't remember just now...

    I like Basil... he's a hoot. Here in America we never saw the second season, so I had a few 'new' laughs with that one!

    I will look for Fools and Horses tonite. :)

    Thanks!

    Have you sees Sex Education? (Not BBC, on Netflix)

    I've never seen Mrs. Brown.

    Does she have a Lovely Daughter?

    Mrs Brown is an Irishman playing a role with yes, a lovely daughter, but several daft sons.

    Funny... yes. Irish... yes. Strange... yes!
