"Ripping Yarns!" for those unfamiliar with what put the GREAT into Britain!

[PADDY]

Here's a sample of this very humourous BOYS' OWN book type humour!! This series became something of a cult in Britain, and plays on the books boys used to read between the 20's and 50's (Boy's Own), and how super the Empire was!!

It's the cream of British humour!!

Oh my god, I loved this series, haven't thought of it in years though--Tomkinson's Schooldays! The Curse of the Claw! Across the Andes by Frog!

I've always had a soft spot for Michael Palin and Terry Jones.

Thanks for the link Paddy!

Looks like it's got us both smiling

I've been watching some of the clips and it's so 'tongue in cheek' and 'stiff upper lippish..' I'm creased up here. So glad it's got you giggling across the pond Palin is sooo good.
