The Fallen Madonna:
The Fallen Madonna, usually referred to as The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies by the fictional painter Van Klomp ("Klomp" is Dutch for clogs) was a portrait of a bare breasted woman which provided a running gag in the long-running BBC One television comedy series 'Allo 'Allo! (1982–92), written by David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd. The first episode of the first series of 'Allo 'Allo! (1984) was entitled The Fallen Madonna. In an earlier pilot the painting was referred to as the "reclining" Madonna.
An incredible number of forgeries of the Fallen Madonna were made, mostly by Lieutenant Gruber and Monsieur LeClerc, which were naturally hidden in knackwurst sausages in René's kitchen. The forgeries were subsequently destroyed in various ways (burned, blown up, minced, eaten by a dog, etc.).
Much was as funny as heck, you could not make it up, just would not happen nowaday's even on TV ?FallenMadonna.jpg
Bring back Blackadder: the is name that encompassed four series of a BBC One period British sitcom, along with several one-off instalments. All television programme episodes starred Rowan Atkinson as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder and Tony Robinson as Blackadder's dogsbody, Baldrick. Each series was set in a different historical period with the two protagonists accompanied by different characters, though several reappear in one series or another.

"I don't believe it"
"I don't believe it"
Could start with: I don't believe its not butter, that is because it is not, if you want real butter, get it from NZ or hope Carlesburg begin production, then it will probably be the best:
More "I don't believe its" to come:

Yes Prime MInister is on every night from 7.00pm. two shows one after the other. Its hilarious. Its on Sky Gold.
It was made over 30 years ago and it still shows how our Government works to this day, it has not changed one single iota.
You only have to change the actors names for our present politicians and it fits perfectly.

..........................another Earth couple were trying to explain to a Martian couple where babies come from and decided to demonstrate the process. After they'd finished, the Martians asked 'now what?' 'Now we wait nine months'. 'Nine months?' said the Martian - 'why all the rush at the end'.
