Boy that took me back in time. Does anyone remember the other British comedies which used to be a regular feature on DD - Are you being served? Fawlty towers, Some mothers do have em, The goodies, and my favourites " To the Manor Born" and Yes Minister / Prime Minister.
BTW I found that TPL has the DVD for Yes Minister. Looking forward to a trip down memory lane.

I have only 2 cents to contribute, not a cent more, not a cent less ;-)

Chung Su-Lee (Chinese) : "Chairman Mao, he says..." "The Democlatic Lepublic Of China"'
Taro Nagazumi (Japanese) : "Ah-so" (proceeds forward and bows)
Juan Cervantes (Spanish) : "Por favor?", "One fate/fete/fit, Two fate/fete/fit!"
