#Rush to Amiga.
9 messages in this thread
Nancy, IMHO (as an ex-pat Brit living in the US for 16 years) it is unlikely
you'll see/hear Rush in England. He may be controversial by US standards but I
find him pretty tame compared to Messrs Hislop and Merton on "Have I got News
for You". I also prefer their ability to slam everybody, not just the "bleeding
heart liberals" <g>
As someone noted previously, if you haven't heard of Rush you ain't missing
much. In fact I can't believe this thread has gone on so long – news on the
Amiga (remeber that machine?) must be in short supply !
Steve,
The Beeb is currently running "Have I Got Old News For You", the best bits from
the show over the years. Merton looked like a schoolkid when he started!
Pete
p.s. Did that brilliant show from Channel Four, 'Drop the Dead Donkey" get over
there?
Peter, I'm not aware that DTDD made it to the states, but CBC in Canada have
been showing it.
I'll have to see if I can get some tapes of "Old News" sent over – seems to me
Merton changes his hair at least once per series <g>

Steve,
DTDD, apart from being as viciously funny as HIGNFY, had the extra dimension of
topicality, the show was recorded the day before broadcasting, and some stuff
done on the day itself. I can't remember word for word, but things like
(tv clip on a polo match at Windsor)
"I can't stand ill-treatment of dumb animals"
"I think the horses enjoy it."
"I wasn't talking about the horses!"
<g>
Cheers,
Pete
Peter,

It's playing on the Comedy Channel Monday nights approx 8:30pm (PDT). I
caught it when it first started running (about a month or two ago) and now I
hate to miss it! Great show, even though some of the comments go over my head
(references to British personalitites that I've never heard of).!!

Asha,
I miss some of the references in Drop the Dead Donkey, and I'm only across the
English Channel in Belgium!!

I don't feel so bad then…:) Thanks! It's still a hoot to watch though!

Actually, Rush is broadcast on Armed Forces Radio, and a short wave freq. So
you might be able to hear him outside the US.
