[Sylvia]

Dear Elizabeth ,

British comedy :

Fawlty Towers ,  Dad’s Army , Keeping up Appearences , Man about the house ( George and Mildred ) , It ain’t half hot mum , come to mind.

No contemporary ones that I can think of i’m afraid , do like some of the stand up performers from “Live at the Apollo”.

I also remember a very funny short comedy movie called “The Plank” ( tv version ) with Arthur Lowe , and the Pink Panther movies of course with Peter Sellers ( who can forget his movie Dr. Strangelove , briljant ).

American comedy :

All in the Family , MASH , Cheers/Frasier , The Nanny ( loved those outfits from Fran Fine , one of my role models as a beginning Crossdresser I’m afraid ) ,

also Mork and Mindy with the great late Robin Williams .

Movies :

Airplane ! , National Lampoons Christmas Vacation , The Blues Brothers 1980 (epic).

French comedy : Louis de Funes / Bourville movies.

And a lot more from the past that I have forgotten.

Not enough comedy being made today sadly , we could use it in these covid-times.

Love Sylvia.
