jjr-76474 This is a brilliant piece of television. I became a fan from episode one featuring bob dylan and an english suburbs plumber. It is well directed superlatively acted and, most of all, deliciously written. It will take your face on an exercise class of smiles, laughs, giggles, and hilarity bursts; your co-trainees: cary grant, bob geldorf, conan doyle, marilyn monroe, johnny cash, david bowie and many more... My personal favorite: Public enemy feat kev wells. Go for it i promise you'll enjoy it.
