Cracks me up. I was a BIG fan 50 years ago! 50 years ago! And now my 17-year old daughter loves it. Watched it in its entirety (i.e., all seasons, all episodes) late last year & has started watching it AGAIN, systematically, episode-by-episode, this week. I caught a few snatches of dialog & knew exactly what it was. I am kind of happy.
Six or seven years ago I got her hooked onto British programming. She has watched ALL OFF ‘Downton Abbey‘ EIGHT (8) times!
I have subscriptions to BOTH ‘BritBox‘ & ‘Acorn‘ for HER! I haven’t watched anything on those two channels for years. I tend to watch ‘Netflix‘ & ‘Prime‘.
She does NOT get even half the jokes. LOT of British innuendo, British slang & it is dated. She doesn’t care. I try to explain. She is not bothered. She is HAPPY to watch it without fully appreciating all that is going on. She is like that. That is fine. As long as she is happy.
But, this cracks me up. I am not sure I could watch much more than 1 episode. I have seen them all & would kind of remember where it was going.
But, this is GOOD. I am happy too.
