Pics?

I feel this article could do with some images - could someone takes screen caps of them? Ideally a pic from each series - something representative of each show, so show-specific characters would be good. And I'd suggest two-shots as the article is about both of them.

Lack of international appeal

Disappointing, but not surprising, that there's not much about them elsewhere on the Net or on Wikipedia. We're not ruled by Americans just yet; they'd never get Vic and Bob's amiable faffing around, due to its lack of what they think of as "Brit Wit", i.e. posh people being condescending or Benny Hill, bet they couldn't understand what they'd term R&M's "heavy Cockney accents", either. Tellingly, the wiki entry on DAKTARI makes no mention of Judge Nutmeg's holding up an annual of that show and making the recidivists "swear by Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion".

BBC comedy

Is it worth mentioning the advert-thing they did plugging BBC Comedy with excerpts from shows such as "Poldark On Mopeds" and "Detective In A Wheelbarrow"? IIRC they were broadcast in 1997. Mr Larrington (talk) 15:42, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
