At some level, it's a bit like watching, and appreciating MST3K, where you have to be a bit quick on your feet.

The Brits don't generally gift wrap everything for you and put it under a huge arrow with the words " LAUGH HERE ". They expect you to GET some of the references, on your own.


So do keep up.

One show not listed... Being Human ! I'm a fan of both versions.
