Quality programming. Got the boxset for much cheapness after Christmas and have just finished watching Blackadder Goes Forth. The ending doesn't get any less sad.

There was a programme recently about the making of Blackbadder and it featured a discussion about the very poignant ending. One of those endings where you stare in silence at the tv for a moment after the programme has finished.FCN 2-4.

Anyhoo, was thinking another Laurie character would be even more perfect for the garment: Bertie Wooster. Imagine Jeeve's reaction0 -
Ah the world of Jeeves - just finished reading the omnibus. I loved it. And the old TV series didn't disappoint when I saw it again - who'd have thought that Laurie would end up famous for a role in which 90% of Americans will believe he is a native?Emerging from under a big black cloud.

That suit is utterly hilarious. Are we all sure it's not just an elaborate joke?
You'd better hope you don't sweat when riding, and that it's machine washable. Oh and that nobody notices the bizarre little bum-pockets in the jacket.
As for target markets, where IS jash?
Tweed run?
Oh and as for Hugh Laurie, brilliant. I loved the articles about how the american press reported on the 'hilarious british accent' he put on when accepting an award for House in the US...0 -
Yep. The same way that Dominic West or Idris Elba can sometimes pull off a half-decent English accent? Sheesh I dunno. Crazy yanks.
On the thread subject, I dunno. I just don't get this. I really like Rapha stuff, but this is horrible. It looks awful/hilarious as a suit, and I'd imagine doesn't feel
much better on a bike. Nope. Just not getting it. Can't see it being worn to many board meetings.0 -
Unfortunately if i spend £3000 on a the suit I won't be able to afford the bike - pink lining ?
pink? :shock:0 -
