I wonder if they will wrap it up by showing Tony Blair stepping over dead Iraqi bodies looking for non-existent WMDs

Hercule Poirot

Colmustard

It is absolutely class it is the best I have ever seen.

BUT I ask would some prudish americans complain about the adult content.

steve9859

Most of these tunes, to be fair, would be internationally recognised. It's not a navel gazing show just for the Brits....

And they are awesome tunes....

If India had the Olympics they'd play plenty of Bollywood. Brits write good tunes, so why not celebrate it!

Redjeep!

Is that girl with the hair the cute nurse from Casualty ?

enfant terrible

Just the two 80's songs then, pity.

An awful lot of in-references in this show. I wonder how this will be received internationally? If you weren't exposed to british culture daily, this might be hard to get.

I'm not seeing a lot of British culture yet. They haven't yet represented fish 'n' chips, the X Factor or racist footballers.

RayCon
