DR> All good comedy is based in truth and caricatures the eccentricities and DR> (dare I say it) stupidities of the people it is mocking. Remember "Yes, DR> Minister"? And "Father Ted" (don't know if that was exported)? And even DR> "Goodness, Gracious Me"?
That's an absolute "yes" ... do not forget "Please Sir" ... which at some point wasn't funny because I was at the time in a class "5C".
So it makes me wonder what has become of Great Britain if that quality of satire is not produced anymore.
The positive thing however is an aging English teacher traveling back and forth between the British Isles and somewhere in the Calvados region who has succeeded in getting me to re-read my english texts and wondering "what have I written now again I should be ashamed for?"
