The Electricians: Day 6

By the end of the day we had the lights back on upstairs.  It's been very cold.  I've been exploring this site, which has interesting things to say about the beginnings of Christianity as revealed in the archaeological record.

Thanks for the link. I very much enjoyed Fry's discussion on the video.

Kate and I watch the 1980s Jeeves and Bertie series, which I got via Amazon, and Fry was wonderful as Jeeves.

I have fond memories of the BBC's first stab at Wooster- in which Ian Carmichael was Bertie and Denis Price was Jeeves. According to Wikipedia most of the shows- as so often with early sit-coms- have been wiped.

I managed to find for Mother the entire Rising Damp series from the seventies, and she loved it up until her last illness, when she couldn't process as well as before, due to medication, and simply couldn't understand the very fast British accents!

I have them now, and my favorite is still Miss Jones and her blue glasses.

Have you come across The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin- a series from the same era also starring Leonard Rossiter? It's recently been re-made starring Martin Clunes. Accept no substitutes. The original is extremely funny. Rossiter- who died far too early- was a comic genius.

The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin is one of the funniest and cleverest comedies ever to grace the little screen. Thanks so much for the reminder.
