I think I need to acquire the taste for this - it's a bit odd, but I guess it's supposed to be! Me and my brothers were huge RWT fans. I'm ashamed to say this is the first I've heard of it. It's what passed for a classical education in a working class household... My French teacher once commended me for having heard of Marcel Proust through Monty Python And I quoted The Philosophers'Song to my history teachers.

I was right and OSP and TT were wrong. IIRC. |

I might have to watch more of that to see if I can get into it. Thanks for the company - will continue to join in when I can on Tuesdays, but as for Thursdays, probably won't again until October! Vote Og.

In terms of what's next... Someone said 'I Clav-Divs' (I, Claudius) is on Internet Archive. Could watch half, break for The Rutles, then watch the other half. Just an idea. |

All 12 episodes of I,C would take us most of the summer anyway.
