Which completely gives the lie to my claim to prefer verbal comedy. But it's an extra-special scene because it made Mr C laugh out loud for many seconds, like he does only for 'It'll be All Right On The Night' or 'Takeshi's Castle'. Normally, I am checking every other second to see if he is enjoying GW and the best I hope for is a wry smile or two. But at least he does watch it which is more than he does for most stuff, unless it's Curb Your Enthusiasm or something in Japanese on Artsworld.<BR/>Anyway - Top Banana James! It had to be said.cellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17061833787120469657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1145052674574889412006-04-14T23:11:00.000+01:002006-04-14T23:11:00.000+01:00It is currently very much in it's infancy as repea...It is currently very much in it's infancy as repeat watchings of Series 1 are required to catch all the running gags.<BR/><BR/>So far we have anything involving bananas for one drink (two with added Olivia Colman), one drink for "Let me finish..." one drink whenever a character touches someone else's hair (two if they pull it), down the drink for every c*nt reference. <BR/><BR/>There'll be more and I'll put them in an organised thought somewhere.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541090959910480802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1145047189443344242006-04-14T21:39:00.000+01:002006-04-14T21:39:00.000+01:00oohh, green wing drinking game?what are the rules?...oohh, green wing drinking game?<BR/>what are the rules?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1145033741763796762006-04-14T17:55:00.000+01:002006-04-14T17:55:00.000+01:00I loved that scene because a banana is part of the...I loved that scene because a banana is part of the Green Wing drinking game round these parts.
