Good lord... I've just discovered Gregor Fisher did an entire series of mime TV programs called The Baldy Man and I never knew about it. I'm going to watch one, he's impressively repellent.
is where I'm starting.

American members will be entirely unfamiliar with the work of Gregor Fisher. I offer this as well worth the half hour, consider it educational.
The language being spoken is, allegedly, the Queen's English.
Rab C Nesbitt: "Work" - Series 1 Episode 1
"The programme is especially notable for approaching far darker topics and themes than those that are usually encountered in sitcoms (although almost always in a blackly comedic manner rather than a serious one), amongst them cannibalism, contract killings on the homeless, suicide, incest, sexual harassment, neo-Nazism, mental illness, zoophilia, murder of suspects by police officers whilst in custody, alcoholism, organised crime, devil worship, mass long-term unemployment, sexually transmitted disease, mariticide, drug dealing, infidelity, police brutality, gun crime, ringworm, domestic violence, transsexuality, shoplifting, infertility, drug abuse, alcohol-induced cirrhosis, eating Rottweiler flesh, murder and cancer".

Might I mention that after all these years a new series has been produced, and it's not half bad. Who'd have thought it could even be attempted.
