You MUST go and watch the entire series straight away! I think it's a safe bet to say that CP has already watched it.... We have the whole series on DVD, seen it all many times, but I still get a laugh out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the whole series on DVD, seen it all many times, but I still get a laugh out of it Yes I watched it when it first was on - and video taped it. The only issue I had was Neil. I was working at the time Landscaping a valley for the local council. Our work hut was located in the grounds of a school. The amount of cries of "Neil" I got was incessant. I looked very much like the hippy character but loved the show anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to discover "The Young Ones" thanks to the thread dedicated to Rik Mayall! I'm sure your husband and kids really love the show too? Lucky that you guys have it on DVD!! It is just so sidesplittingly funny! I do wish YT would ease up on those damn copyright laws, so that full episodes can be uploaded and watched and not just sections of it! I also wish channels like Comedy Central and UKTV would step up their game and air this show! Anyway, I came across a video sharing website called Daily Motion and they seem to have all episodes from both the seasons!! One of my favourite clips! Love especially the part about Rick's dream, Neil multiplying and the panda bear! Oh and no wonder Rick was such a fan of Cliff Richard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Of course there is Bottom, and Hotel Paradiso, we have those on DVD.... edited to add : Glad you have seen them, Kiwi Try and watch some of the others we have mentioned, too.

Do you like this kind of cricket, Reggie? I don't know about Jules, but I think Kiwi Zep doesn't care for this type of cricket. I guess for those who have a busy life, a shorter cricket test makes sense. But is it a fair test of a side's quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is it a fair test of a side's quality? I don't mind it, yet some "purists" don't like it. Not as technical as test cricket, basically slap dash, hit and run and can be exciting with some fast fielding and runouts. The game goes for 3 hours so for those who have a short attention span may prefer the short version. The sides are usually made up from test and up and coming players and is very lucrative in India plus it's good practice for players in between test matches etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I think Kiwi Zep doesn't care for this type of cricket. When I'm up for it, I do watch a few T-20 cricket matches, when there is nothing else on TV. I don't mind this format too much but I am not a fan.

I noticed that there are a couple of clips of the scenes Rik did for "Man Down" on YT and I'm definitely looking forward to watching those! Also, apart from "The Young Ones", I like "Bottom" and Rik's various wild avatars on "Black Adder" My mate Mr Arthur Morris wont watch anything except tests and sheffield shield matches, and he was one of the ones who opposed Kerry Packers World series.... Honestly, with each passing day, I am getting to like Mr. Morris even more! Richie Benaud regarded him very highly by classifying him as a batting great. I found this video on YT the other day with some great vintage footage of Arthur! The clip itself isn't of very good quality but it was at the same time, a pleasure to watch!

Strider Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I had another wave of Australian tourists flooding the shop this past weekend and, along with offering congratulations on Australia's World Cup Championship, I heard many remembrances of Richie Benaud. One guy from Sydney, who was also conversant with baseball, put it in a perspective that an American could understand by saying Richie was the cricket equivalent to baseball's Vin Scully.

I am positive Mr. Chillumpuffer will agree with me! Sure do Em. Really looking forward to today. The women against the Aussies in the morning followed by the Black Caps at 2.30pm BST. Kiwi is being supportive as one would expect. I mean her beloved Indian roots didn't do much for the hosts? I predict a tight game but I think we just have the edge. Will you be tuning in?

I would bat first and make the opposition chase. Should be excellent. I hope like the South Africa game. Must wake Kiwi up or it could be tears AFTER bedtime?
