Consoling Adam - Butterflies - BBC classic comedy

[01marky]

whats the name of the song?

[battywattywoo]

Annie (despite having a pretty name) was actually an ugly cow!

[LimitedPassions]

This truly was a classic.

Ah, I remember enjoying the re-reruns of Butterflies when I was 17; a long time ago, but long after the series was originally made! I couldn't understand Annie dumping Adam, who was very cute. I yearned to sing the Clout song "If she doesn't come back, I'll be your substitute..." to him. Somehow, Nicholas Lyndhurst lost all his cuteness when he reached his twenties, though.

Could we please have the clip from the 11th episode, where Adam is on the sofa with the girl Martha?

This show is funny. I remember watching it years ago. Glad I found here again. Makes my day.

I'm an american too & have loved british humo*u*r for years now. Don't let naysayers get under your skin... it takes an intelligent person to truly appreciate the fine quality of british entertainment.

[Ethergirl]

Me too. I'm American and I agree with you. I have loved so many British sitcoms, since I was a kid, shown on public television, ususally years after they show in the UK. Butterflies was one of the best.

Well, if you haven't already, you may want to check out the Terry & June playlist on my channel. It is really obscure over here, sadly, yet well worth a view. June Whitfield of Ab Fab starred in this classic sitcom a decade before portraying Edina's mum in AF. I also encourage other american fans of british sitcoms to check it out! :-)

I used to watch this show many years ago before husband and children. Now, with my own family I can so relate to Ria.

You fricking Brits.....do not understand your humour (I used a "u"). Your comedy puts us into a coma....boorrring!!

[Flibble17]

At least our comedy isn't simulated.

British comedy tends to be subtle,ironic and

sometimes rather cerebral.Try Yes,Prime Minister on for size.See if you're up for it.

And BTW...I'm a Yank.

[Ethergirl]

Here here.  I've been watching "britcoms" on public television ever since childhood. I remember this show, and it was great. Plus British comedy ranges from something subtle and real like this, to ridiculous and absurd like Fawlty Towers or Monty Python.

[mrsandyq]

I'm AMERICAN, and have loved this series since I was around 14 (when they played it on PBS over here)... LOVE Fawlty Towers and NO ONE can say that show is BORING!!! "Maunel, let me explain..." LMAO!! NEVER get tired of that show... LOL!!

The best sit-com ever, BBC please commission Carla Lane to write a new series with all the regular characters, we all want to catch up with the goings on in the Parkinson family it's been a long time.
