[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 438492, member: 23"] That's good. I know we've spoken about shouting in sitcoms before, and as soon as you mentioned it I started thinking you might end up checking out before the third episode (which would have been fine, of course. Sitcoms are there to be enjoyed and I wouldn't like to think of you suffering through one that you're not enjoying). :lol: Only in passing, and never in her own show. The [I]AITF[/I] episode [I]Cousin Maude's Visit[/I] was based on the [I]Till Death Us Do Part [/I]episode[I] Aunt Maud.[/I] Here Maud (no 'e') was the sister of the lead character's wife rather than her cousin. I believe the characterisation was quite different, and the character more antagonistic and spiteful (even I would probably draw the line at watching a series based on this character). At the time I watched [I]TDUDP[/I], the episode was missing, but it's since shown up and can be found on the world's favourite video streaming site. I haven't watched but did previously listen to an audio recording of the episode, and you may not want to seek it out given there's more than a touch of the Mrs Naugatucks to British Maud. Which is a very good reason. British sitcoms that have exceeded 100 episodes can be counted on one hand, and even the ones that span the equivalent of an American season or two do that over a number of years. [/QUOTE]
