I like watching coupling. My dad got me into it a few years ago and I bought the complete set not to long ago. Love Fawlty Towers.
I found "Children of Earth" profoundly affecting and genuinely chilling at times. I wasn't tremendously satisfied with the ending, but as a whole, it was fantastic.
Perhaps its generational. . perhaps the older more 'sexist' generation appreciate his 'brand of humour'. I dont actually know anyone that can say he was funny this side of the pond. . although i am sure there MUST be some.
