I always bring it up whenever people mention liking News Radio but no-one has any idea what I'm talking about. There was some kind of spin off/follow up I enjoyed too but I can't remember anything about it. Think it was set in the States and it was either about war or cooking shows or something similar. Have you seen the final episode? Champagne Comedy! God I loved this show, it’s up there with The Dangerous Brothers.

I'm not sur eyou'll dig it. That said, Mark Farrell, the guy in your top clip, is the head writer for that show. When I see you at Comic-con, I'll tell you about the night the beat me out for the Canadian Emmy. CORNER GAS is very funny, just tonally opposite. I’m not sur eyou’ll dig it.
