2. Chef is funny, great use of language
3. Yes Minister / Yes Prime Minister
4. Are you Being Served – once saw a kid go up to a woman at church and say, “You look like Mrs. Slocum.” Just about pissed myself laughing as soon as I got out of hearing range. It was true same hair but not the different colours.

Wire in the Blood is a similar premise but I personally think it’s a lot better.

Cracker is excellent. The series are available on DVD. I remember thinking certain seasons were better than others. Robbie Coltraine is a very good actor. I suspect that the show was (very) loosely used as inspiration for The Closer (Cracker is much darker material).

BBCA aired both series back-to-back in the fall. The first two series (six episodes each) are available on iTunes (well worth the 99 cents per episode), and you can get the first series on DVD through Amazon (still waiting for the second series to be released). A third series is currently being produced.

It’d probably fall on the Office (no subtitles) and The IT Crowd side of the scale, but in all honesty- I think it’s ten times better than The Office.

Some time ago I checked Hulu to see if they were showing any episodes – but nothing.

Here’s a wikipedia link about the show:
