Might be of interest, I think it will take a few more episodes to deliver its full potential:

Seems to have been filmed at Stansted. Which is in Essex, apparently.

So it appears, VK. I sat through the bloody Public Local Inquiry in the early 80s. It was there last time I looked. And should bloody stay there as far as I’m concerned.

I thought it was very poor (Come Fly With Me, not Stansted. But that is too), especially compared to “The High Life”, which was much funnier and, in many ways, forecast the low-cost airlines of today. Many predictable sketches. Although I think the German/Austrian/Swiss woman in the one sketch was actually my Aunt Hilde from Handewitt in Schleswig-Holstein.

Have a great New Year.

I thought I noticed a slight resemblance, particularly the hair. 😉

The High Life is available to view on YouTube, and I agree a much more amusing package:

No VK, my hair is much more civilised than either the Teutonic Lady’s or my Aunt Hilde’s. You’ve obviously been peeking at my website; can we peek at yours, please? 😉

Thanks for the High Life link – it’s so sad they only did one short series.

Have an excellent 2011, VK, and keep posting. Most of us appreciate it!
