it is awesome - probably my favourite British comedy of the past decade, tied in with My Hero (starring Ardal O'Hanlon, who played cat-man Brannigan in Who's Return of the Macra Gridlock) and My Family (starring Zoe Wanamaker (Lady Cassandra) and Kris Marshall (my casting choice for Jo's son in the Fourteenverse). It's impossible for me to decide which of the three I love the most.

Awww! :D I think one of the only non sci-fi British things I've seen in a while would be the show Black Books, which is ABSOLUTELY hysterical & deals with one of my favourite things - BOOKS! & the very mad life of the owner of said bookshop, his assistant & their friend. Ah, good show, that is. (the other one would be Secret Diary of A Call Girl - quite good & so is the book!)

Wow - aside from Doctor Who & a few assorted shows I have on DVD, I just realised, I almost never actually watch tellyvision anymore - to be honest, TV here in the States nowadays just SUCKS. Everything I watch is either from the UK, filmed there, or a film, which may or may not be connected to the former two. I'm happy to watch my Who!

& it sounds like your father DID have some pretty cool memories of the sixties - more than either of my folks did - both were SO depressingly dull - & O! I remember watching The Fugitive when I was small, but of course, I don't think I appreciated it as much then as I did now. & the barbarian used to tell me how she'd watch that along with The Avengers - but alas, I still can't get her to sit & watch any sixties era Who with me. (the only time I really DID, it was The Mind Robber & even SHE thought Two was looking up Not!Jamie's kilt at one point. I was . . . highly amused, to say the least!)

I wonder if they were aware of the subtext... *grins*

I have a good feeling they totally weren't. ::giggle::

I think my favourite thing regarding the photobooth scene is just how confused he is about it.

As I described him in my recap last night, he looks all sort of, 'Meh, I don't know what the hell is going on here.' & I LOVE IT! & awww, Two's crazy little face. ::hugs him:: (I fangirled like crazy in my recap of The Faceless Ones - for such a sad recon, I got a LOT of fangirling out of it!)
