Why oh why wasn't/isn't this repeated.


This and whole host of gems from the U.K in 90s are all but forgotten by the TV bigwigs, living on only the in memory of fans. Such a shame. When you consider the rubbish they do keep repeating....

And why, oh why!!?? was it never shown in the States??
I was living in Ireland and we watched it whenever it was on
and roared laughing every time....
I wonder did/will PBS or BBCA every run it??
And Alan is coming to Santa Fe for the film festival...
I'm feeling a wee bit stalker-ish (deary me!)

It probably wasn't shown in the States because of the dialect being difficult to understand. It has been released on DVD, but according to other threads it's been deleted - so expect to pay premium prices.

In another thread there's a link to "Pif,Paf,Pof" on Youtube and also to some of the episodes.

Dialect has nothing to do with it.

I got introduced to it in the NETHERLANDS where english is learned only at schools and a friend of mine tracked it down on You Tube for me. I'm Australian and also have no problem with the dialect.

It's not the dialect. Trust me.

I actually am getting to revisit this series on "cable on demand." Check it out on the "here!" channel - I can find them as free occasionally. I was introduced to this series on a visit to the UK about 10 years ago - LOVED it!

I'm glad this was shown again. Even after all these years. It still had wings, so to speak.
