Best videos
Whilst serving at Al's Garage, we had access to the voluminous (yet heavily censored) MWR video library (DVDs were on the horizon). The most favoured video was 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' (it makes you think...) but we ferreted out, inter alia, 'East is East' and 'Muriel's Wedding'. What the Americans made of 'Pakis' (to quote the film) in Bradford in 1970 , or indeed an overweight ockker living the Abba dream was anybody's guess....
On an earlier occasion, I worked with several senior Turkish Officers. They could recite all of the 'Yes, Minister' and 'Yes, Prime Minister' episodes off by heart. They were exposed the the series at Staff College in Turkey, and given the role of the Turkish General Staff in the government of Turkey, wholly appropriate.
But I agree; Blackadder any time!
