Clatterford or Jam&Jerusalem

This is a surprisingly poignant, but still outrageous comedy. It's more of a chick flick comedy but it's really good and well written. I think American audiences will like this show because it's funny but with a lot of meaning and loveable characters. I love it because Jennifer Saunders wrote it and you would never know that she did because it's nothing like what she usually writes. So let's all journey down to Clatterford, don't stop off at Hole. They're boring there. Enjoy!

Benidorm

It's been so cold here lately....I just want to go to Benidorm....or at least curl up and watch a most hilarious show about a group of insane holiday makers that always end up in the same horrible resort for the same horrible, yet, very funny vacation. I love this show because although one of the characters fit together, they do, and the have this magical cast chemistry that makes this show seamless and even funnier to me. Americans will love this show because well..it's like watching Jersey Shore, but without the shame because it's not real. Below is a small clip of series one. The show is around online, but I won't tell you where...just search about for a bit... Enjoy!

Interview:The Avengers

 Do you know of a place with almost 2,000 DVDs of almost every movie and TV show worth seeing or knowing about? Blockbuster? Video Warehouse? Try Robin Robinson's den. Yep, she rocks. She knows all things TV and is especially fond of The Avengers. I was lucky enough to sneak in a very short interview with this very busy lady (She's a cop by night, and usually asleep at the time of this interview; do excuse the brevity but she can't protect the city if she's asleep on the job can she?). Let's talk about John Steed and his famous bowler and brolly. Enjoy!



Me: What first drew you to The Avengers? 
RR: I have always been intrigued with spy shows.
Me: Do you have a favorite character and why are they your favorite?
RR: Emma Peel; She's smart, strong, independent, with a kick-ass attitude.
Me: What makes Steed so great?  
RR: He's just so darn smart and sharp.
Me: Did you see the feature film? Did you like it? 
RR: Yes; It did have some of the old school feel with a modern touch.
Me: What is the most iconic part of the show to you?
RR: How well the two main characters worked together.

Below is a most iconic episode of this funny spy classic:
