I'm sure we've all wondered this at some point, but does anyone here have a 'real' answer for this eternal question:
How come some shitty shows get repeated ad infinitum (on various channels) and yet other shows that were utter gold never seem to see the light of day again after their initial airing?
I'm reminded of this because I just remembered 'People Like Us' and the classic lines...
Woman: "What happened to your jacket?"
Roy Mallard: "I, errr, dropped some acid earlier."
Woman: "Oh! Well, I hope it was worth it!"
...and now I can't stop chuckling to myself.
I'd love to see that whole series again, but I've never seen it repeated anywhere. The same goes for (the very similar) 'This Is David Lander' - possibly the best thing Stephen Fry has ever done.
