I, too, was devoted to this show when it played on public TV in Missouri in the early '90s. I found this show fresh, funny and feminist. The best sketch ever involved Imelda Staunton as a medieval peasant explaining to her neighbor (Thompson) how she had 'accidentally' split the atom while tidying her husband Wilf's lab and playing around with his figures. She couldn't tell anybody about discovering the greatest source of energy in the history of the world hundreds of years before schedule because, "Wilf would DIE!". Every sketch wasn't a gem, but the show was hilarious and smart and the acting was far, far above average. It would be great if it was available on video so I could SHOW friends what I've been trying to describe for years.
