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)

QI I need to find!

Bill Bailey is made of pure awesome, and i have been in love with him since Black Books. Cealdis introduced me to his songs ("the duck lies shredded in a pancake, soaking in the Hoi Sin of your lies")!

Youtube. you end up watching it in 10 minute intervals but it is there, also due to the show format it is not quite as painful as it sounds. Also, you can get the A series and B series on DVD as an FYI.
