The New Statesman and Black Adder.
Two brilliant pieces of work everybody should see.
(Btw. Rik Mayall stars in both of those series. He's Lord Flashheart in Bladders)
New Statesman sometimes seems to me as if it is Black Adder 5: Present Politics... (or something like that)
It's distinguished, utterly funny and just GOOD.
Go, buy it, see it.
