i instantly baulked at this story - personally, its a waste of breath talking about it (thank god i am typing) because the stength in british comedy (at least one vital key element) is the 30-minute format. take it outside that and it falls apart - yes, even 'shaun of the dead' feels like two or three 30-minute episodes strung together and even then a comparatively successful film is pretty duff ...
uselessness commented on the word british
This word is fun because of the "ish." Like largish, pinkish, boyish, and nerdish: it conveys a sense that one is vaguely similar to an aristocratic Brit in a sloppy and not-quite-serious manner. Less God Save the Queen and more Hey Hey We're The Monkees.
At least, that's how I interpret it. But then again, I'm American. ;-)
