Velvet Soup

Very funny show which my wife, friends and I all enjoyed quite thoroughly, and I'm an American! Too bad more people couldn't appreciate their style of humor. I've always wondered why there weren't more episodes produced. So now my question is: where do I find more comedy like this? Obviously you blokes overseas know how to write a funny bit. I grew up on Monty Python, and League Of Gentlemen was also very entertaining. My highest recommendations to anyone who appreciates originality and intellectual thought as applied to humor. So much of what I see from the States is rubbish. Please keep making funny comedy, England!

This Scottish sketch comedy show has fallen into obscurity, which is a crying shame because it's as good as much better known contemporaries such as "Big Train", "The Sketch Show" and "Dead Ringers". It had some classic sketches including the depressed (and potentially murderous)hitchhiking clown, the wistful Dirk Bogarde style monologist who haunted rundown seaside towns,the baby eating father in law, the horny mother continually trying to seduce her daughter's teenage boyfriend and many others. There were only six half hour episodes ever made. It was shown a couple of times on the ABC in Australia but hasn't been repeated recently. Surely it's worthy of a DVD release.
