Another gem from BBC - thanks!
Thank you
Excellent Rick, you're a gentleman! I've not got these so thanks. This was a funny one for me, because it's something I was never overly keen on when it was on TV, but when I used to listen to them on the radio I really really enjoyed!
Thanks, Rick!!! I watch the show on PBS every Saturday night it is on in our area.

Dear Rick -
This series was the one BritCom series that my wife and I looked forward to watching on PBS. Now I can listen to it when I go to sleep at night.
Thanks
