Bedtime chat - Butterflies - BBC classic comedy

[tkn41]

I remember watching this on PBS when I was young. It is proof that British humor was so much more subtle than the states. I heard that an American network tried to rework "Butterflies" for its viewers, but we didn't get it - it never made it past the pilot episode. Like "Coupling", most US TV watchers just don't get comedy unless it's crude and crass. I like that too, but there's really something to be said for shows that make the viewers think for the funny.

I love this show every week Geoffrey Palmer has me and my friends rolling in aisles, not like the other silly Geoffrey Dahmer

Its due to shows lie this that I feel the BBC perfected the concept of television shows. Makes me wish American TV could have been like this....

Yes, and having their relationship remain basically only flirtatious kept the series interesting.

This may have been the first episode of Butterflies I saw. What a crush I had on Ria. Her flirtations with the accidental stranger played havoc with my mind it a deliciously wicked way.
