Doug, you should be eligible for UK citizenship with that level of knowledge!

We'll trade Doug Spaulding for Phil, straight across. Plus we'll get Phil a professor's chair at UCLA. Big Grin

Now, that is short and easy enough to remember.

You'll have to learn Polish first!

Hey! Nobody's mentionedHi-de-hi!, Till Death us do Part, Steptoe and Son, The Likely Lads, One Foot in the Grave or 'Allo 'Allo!. Maybe these sitcoms don't travel well?

I thought I'd mentioned Steptoe and Son. I used to watch this as a child (and enjoyed it because of the extreme characterisation of Wilfred Brambell). Then when I re-discovered it as an adult, I realised what a genius piece of DRAMA it was. Hilarious, yes, but also tragic. The very first episode is one of the most moving pieces of comedy you will ever see.

Perhaps we should do a Cage-Travolta face swap thing so that nobody will know.

I would have done, but I had to stop somewhere!

I'm actually familiar with Till Death Do Us Part, Steptoe and Son, One Foot in the Grave and 'Allo 'Allo.
