Does anyone else remember this hilarious show?

I have a couple of episodes I recorded of the tv and I still watch them from time to time. It looks like this may never be released on dvd (or even repeated on tv) which is a real shame. Anyone want to start a campaign with me?

"Yoghurt Boy"

Have you got the "Dentist" episode?

Fantasycheck once promised to lend my the videos of this series. I have heard nothing since. Beware the flimsy promises of fantasycheck.

I only saw one episode of this, but liked it very much.

And the flimsy negligee...err...sorry.

Are you implying that fantasycheck promised to show the good captain his flimsy negligée and then never delivered? The tease!

*open pointlessly cryptic mode*

I have however, seen fantasycheck's princess netting.Not quite as saucy as it sounds

*close pointlessly cryptic mode*

with all the new channels C4 has, i can't believe they aren't showing this!!!!

I think that just set some kind of record for speed and magnitude of deviance from original topic.

Arse. Too slow.

Unless the leopard was referring to fantasycheck's princess netting, of course.

I'll just leave now, shall I?

The Princess Netting channel. All Princess Netting, all the time.

I'd watch it.

Sorry, yes, that taller bloke from Los Dos Bros (aha! Darren Boyd) is in a film called Imagine Me and You - supposedly rubbish, but he's very good in the trailer.

I didn't see this but I notice from IMDB that some of the Green Wing writers were involved. I also noticed that the assistant producer was called Phil Secretan. Coincidence?

i have the episodes 'money' and 'camp' on vhs. I remember seeing 'love and teeth' when it was aired and it was hysterically funny but alas I don't have that episode.
Glad to hear that there is some love for this show.

I did, didn't I? (*Adopting Private Walker shiftiness*) I'll see what I can do...

Oi. Promise. One Promise. Singular.

This is absurd. All my negligees are very sturdy.

Right, that's it. Miss cello and Miss roquentin will have to sit in opposite corners of the classroom if they continue to find the word flimsy amusing.

Look. Let us be quite clear. The princess netting was in my house, but it was not 'mine'.

Coincidence. Yes. That seems the most likely explanation.

if i could pull this topic back on course for just a moment... Fantasycheck - do you have all the episodes on video?

thanks, you may now continue your bizarre ramblings!

Aha! Back on topic.
'Love and Teeth' is the episode that works best I think, and was the one that won the Silver Rose at Montreux. Maybe I'll write a stiff letter to E4 (the TV channel, not the Chingford area of London) and demand that they show at least that episode, if not the whole series.

My bizarre ramblings? I don't know, I come on here and find my name being sullied and dragged through all sorts of negligee and netting nonsense...

Anyway. Sorry. All the episodes on video? Hmm. Probably. Or at least I should be able to get my hands on them. Mind you, I've got into a lot of trouble by making flimsy promises of this kind, so I should really check.

if you could find them i would be most interested and will gladly retract my "bizarre ramblings" comment

For those of us who are regulars round at roquentin/patroclus's blog, the mention of *netting* can surely be no co-incidence. It is deeply implicated in a rare moment of joy. I suggest you all go and read.

And I haven't seen Los Dos Bros at all but am anxious to do so and would pay ready money to anyone who could make it happen.

You'd think that these producer types would revel in the disintermediation that broadband allows and set up a streaming service for punters like us to subscribe to.
