but for me most modern comedy doesn't either, so that is probably a comment on me rather than this series.
Haven't bothered to watch the series but like you I mostly find modern humour lacking something. Humour I think. Witness the number of YouTube videos labelled "hilarious" that are anything but. Think I said earlier, I enjoyed the film and the book. The film script was excellent combined with an equally excellent cast and crew - and all those B-25s
Think i did see a remake of The Italian Job while on a trans-Atlantic flight. Or was it a remake of Get Carter? Caine had a cameo role, the film was crap.
