Top 10 Comedy Sitcoms

Advantages: GREAT !!!!!!
Disadvantages: NONE !!!!!

...twiggy tree he has just up rooted. 3. Rising Damp. Rigsby, Miss Jones, Alan and Philip all living together in rigsbys guest house. Rigsby the mean old landlord with desires towards the dithering miss Jones. Alan the lazy medical student and Philip, another student, but also the alledged son of a chief. Again, similar to Faulty Towers, its a disjointed family layout. Which works fantastically well. So much so Rising Damp is endlessly repeated on TV. 4. The Young Ones. The maddest and barmiest comedy sit-com of them all. Mayhem all the way with Wik, sorry Rik, Vivian, Mike and Neil. Occasionally supported by Mr Bolofski. The four students living, correction existing, in a squalid house. The house is often wrecked, they live on rice, and they have no money and have the barmiest adventures imaginable. 5. Bottom. Rik...

Grey Comedy.

Advantages: Light entertainment, slightly different from usual, good value for money
Disadvantages: A poor interpretation of Pinter's play.

.... He works as a chauffeur. Max?s three sons are Teddy (the eldest), Lenny and Joey. Teddy is the professor and his wife Ruth is for the duration of the play the only woman in the house. Her background is not revealed, but she and Teddy have three sons, who are left behind in America (where they live and work). Lenny is the pimp, reasonably intelligent but brutal, cynical and cold-hearted. Joey is equally brutal but lacks any intelligence or talent for anything; he would be a great boxer but as Max puts it his problem is that he can?t attack and he can?t defend. The unconvincing set changes the mood of the play, making it less serious and less real, but the lighter atmosphere does allow for the dark humour to seem slightly amusing, which makes the production enjoyable and prevents those who expected a comedy (after all it is the London...

Un Comedie d'erreurs

Advantages: Location is fairly central, staff are attentive to requests
Disadvantages: No restaurant, basic room facilities, housekeeping could be improved

...Hotel Comedie is a three star property in Geneve's City Centre, on the busy Rue de Carouge. It was business, rather than pleasure that took me there for my recent one month stay. The actual purpose of my trip was also hotel related, in that I was working with a project team on a system roll out for one of the most luxurious brands in the world. Unfortunately, at the time of my arrival they did not have a hotel in Geneve City..and they always book this place for visitors, as it is convenient to the office. The website gives away very little too, in fact it is nothing more than their name and address on a page, suffice it to say I was mildly alarmed at that, but my manager in Geneve had told me on the telephone said he had stayed here for a few weeks and it was ok. Arriving at the hotel by taxi is actually a challenge in itself...

The past, present and future of The Divine Comedy

Advantages: Long lasting, something for everyone, good music
Disadvantages: The dissolving of the band

...THE DIVINE COMEDY ******BACKGROUND****** To some people The Divine Comedy is just the name of a medieval Italian book, end of story. To many others The Divine Comedy is a band which has been around for the past 10 or so years and was founded and is fronted by singer-songwriter Neil Hannon. Neil, the son of a former Bishop in Northern Ireland was born in Londonderry, moved to Enniskillen and studied at Portora Royal School. Neil had two main passions in his life, music and art. Had Neil not gone down the music path it is thought that he would have pursued a career as an artist. Thankfully for us he didn?t (I?m not saying his art wasn?t good) as 8 albums and a Best Of later, many of us have come to know and like the music of the Divine Comedy even if we don?t know them by name or the fact that the band was named after a book...

Advantages: Offers interaction with a familiar story
Disadvantages: None

...Look out he?s behind you! is a book I took out of the library a few weeks ago for my grandchildren to read while visiting me for the day. They thoroughly enjoyed it inspite of there agea of 2 and 3 years which has led ne to write this review.

He's Just Not That Into You

Advantages: Chilled Out Chick Flick Good For A Girls Night In For A One Off
Disadvantages: Not A Riveting Storyline - Can Get A Bit Tedious!... Rent DVD not buy!

...'He's Just Not That Into You' makes single ladies everywhere ask themselves - "Are you the exception... or are you the rule?" The movie follows the love-lives of several ladies and gents in the Baltimore area, who are all somehow connected. Each of them journey through trials and tribulations regarding the opposite sex. Secret Affairs. Ruined Marriages. Dates. Rejection. Mixed Signals. No More Sex. And that question we all want answering.. Why Hasn't He Called? The main feature of the film tends to focuss on typical player Alex, who believes there is a no-fail system in the way men think and act, whilst filling in Gigi on the rules, an unexpected romance blossoms. Here we have a typical all round Chick flick. According to my man sources, it's not one for the guys. It is a very laid back and light hearted...

Comedy Gold - My Top 10 funniest TV moments

Advantages: A Laugh Riot
Disadvantages: None

...his eye-patch and shout 'Rock on Tommy' and seeing Tommy Cannon melt into a giggling mess at the unscripted improvisation he saw before him. Cannon & Ball's big Christmas Bonanza (now available on DVD) broadcast Christmas 1979. 5. Russ Abbots Madhouse. Bella Emburg tells Russ Abbot to 'F**k off & shove your fat jokes up your bald a**e' on live TV. Bella would never work again but it's simply comedy gold. Originally broadcast in June 1983. 4. Mind Your Language. In theory every spot on this top ten could have been filled with classic moments from this fantastic show. Very few comedies have managed to top having actors putting on comedy accents whilst dissecting the differences between cultures and language. Educational, full of pathos and hilarious. 3. Rod gets the hiccups. In 1984 popular children's show Rainbow struck comedy...
