In-Depth Information
Britain has offered up plenty of comedy choices over the years. If you're in the mood
for something completely different, try
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
(1975), a sur-
real take on the Arthurian legend. The BBC's deeply irreverent “mockumentary” series
The Office
(by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant) inspired the gentler US television
show. In
The Full Monty
(1997), some working-class Yorkshire lads take it all off to pay
the bills.
Calendar Girls
(2003) has a similar setting and premise, if a slightly more noble
cause.
Shaun of the Dead
(2004) combines comedy and horror, when the city's residents
turn into zombies.
Anglophiles of all ages are likely to enjoy
Mary Poppins
(1964),
My Fair Lady
(1964),
A Little Princess
(1995), the
Wallace & Gromit
movies, Rowan Atkinson's
Mr.
Bean
television series and movies, and the
Harry Potter
films.
