Well whaddya know! All those years of watchin’ Master Piece Theatre and Brit Coms finally paid off! :smiley:

In what universe were the spice girls not popular in America?

Tied for 29th? Feh. I yield to no one in my rabid Anglophilia.

pfffffffffffffft. 40th. Phooey. good feud, bad finish by NFM. thanx Rebo, thanx 42fish.

Although I believe even the credits of All in the Family got the word order wrong, the actual title is Till Death Us Do Part. Note the title card on the linked page.

I’m on a roll! In the 40s three in a row. Wahoo! Go me! Sigh.

top half third time in a row. w00t.

You tied with me, and I’m British!

Yeah, we used to joke that you could figure out the order in which they filmed each scene by how his accent changed. Either his accent got better during filming or he eventually just gave it up!:smiley:

an exchange from “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”
Prince John: Why would the people listen to you?
Robin: Because, unlike other Robin Hoods, I speak with a proper English accent.
