They were a bit like a Brit version of the 3 stooges. Probably 1920;s or 30's ish.

Oh Oh and what about Harold Lloyd. Silent movie gut that did some incredible comedy stunts.

Is this the one John

Yep, sure is. Very funny stuff for it's day. I love those old films. Do you ever remember watching Warner Oland in the Charlie Chan films. He had an idiot No 1 son. Can't remember his name now, but he went on to have a big film career when he got older.

As I have said to various politicians I know "Yes Minister" is not a comedy. It was the first TV reality show! :wink:

Touche Psyber!

I think the 2008 version of Yes Minister is Hollowmen. Not saying it's as satirical or as funny, but an equivalent none the less.

Oh, how I love Red Dwarf

This might be good news for you then

got mentioned on tv last night...

In August 2008, Robert Llewellyn — who plays Kryten, one of the series main characters — appeared on Seattle public television station, KCTS 9. In an interview, he revealed that BBC Worldwide, in collaboration with another party, has commissioned a one-hour special of Red Dwarf to be filmed in the latter part of 2008 for DVD release in 2009.[42] An official statement has not been made by the BBC, though Grant Naylor Productions announced that it had been "on the cards" since February 2008.[43] On 29 August 2008, British newspaper The Mirror revealed news of plans by cable channel Dave to commission four 30 minute episodes to celebrate ten years since the end of the series.[44]

Having lived in a house with a Smeg cooker and pop up exhaust system I quickly realised why "Smeg" became a swear word in "Red Dwarf".
Don't ever buy one...
