"Green Wing". One of the zaniest British comedy shows ever!

It's sort of a cross between Monty Python and Mr. Bean. It's crazy and hard to follow at first. Then you get used to the pace (or maybe it actually slows down a bit?), and it seems a bit more normal. Numerous stories going on at the same time. And it's full of great actors you've seen in other shows/movies including Olivia Coleman.

Sadly it was only on for two seasons. It's streaming for free on Freevee.

1. Ooh, never heard of it. Thank you.

I love British comedies. Have you seen Twenty Twelve and W1A? I keep picking up new things everytime I watch those.

Oh, and I had to pause and rewind The Goes Wrong Show many times. I was laughing so hard that I was in tears and missing too much.

2. Haven't heard of any of those!

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely look those up!

3. Looks like Twenty Twelve and...

W1A are only available on BritBox, which I don't have.

4. Yeah, I got to see them because my local PBS station finally freshened up their lineup for a bit.

I mean, I have the utmost admiration for Patricia Routledge's commitment to physical comedy when she's in her 60s and wearing lovely dresses, but I don't really need to see another episode of Keeping Up Appearances.

Did you check YouTube? You may not be able to find all the episodes, but I think all three shows have enough out there that you can get a flavor of what they're about.

5. There are segments of Twenty Twelve and W1A on Youtube

And whole shows of The What Goes Wrong on Youtube.
