calling Anglos and Anglophiles

[brightlywoven]

(inspired by foreverdirt's latest link)

One thing I have found to stand between me and the feeling that England is home, has been my lack of familiarity with the people of pop and political culture. I have for indtance, rarely any idea who humph is snarking about in ISIHAC. Partly this is because I have no tv. However, rather than get one, then try to trawl through for the good bits, I am asking you, dear friends list to point me the right way.

Week one: comedy

Can you suggest British comedy or comedians that would probably not be known internationally which I might enjoy? (eg a passing comment from shanith led me to mitch benn. Awsome)

Actually, in this regard, I have improved no end of late. My planet killing commute does wonders for my radio listening! Having already been a fan of Clue and the News Quiz (Sandy is so awesome) I have now discovered and enjoyed Just a Minute and the Now Show, including MB. Mark Watson is quite endearing, but Hut 33 is sadly crap. Bleak Expectations is mildly amusing, but not enough to make me seek it out.

Must find Harry's Game by the sound of it!
