There's a UK show called "Help" you should be able to find out there. It stars the man who made the sublime "People Like Us" (Chris Langham) and Paul Whitehouse from the Fast Show. It's one of the most wonderful things I've seen in ages. It features amazing comedy that are also unbelievably awful and painful. And also some moments of wonderfully humanity. Highly, highly recommended. Take a psychotherapist (Langham) and a wide variety of his patients (Whitehouse in a terrifying range of makeup), sit back and marvel.

We watched this last week and thought it was awesome.

The next day Langham was charged with buying and distributing kiddie porn.

Doesn't make the show any less funny, mind you.

C. and I *love* Help. Paul Whitehouse is a god. And Chris Langham looks like Alan Rickman's brother, have you noticed?
It's a shame about the kiddie porn thing, I'm kinda reserving judgement (such judgement as I have a right to, anyway), until such time as more info comes to light.
But yeah. Help. Awesome.
