Somehow I only just learned of this film and have a DVD coming my way. My first real experience of British comedy was in the 1960's when, as a teenager, I saw Beyond the Fringe on Broadway here in the U.S. It was dazzling. Since then I have soaked up British humor and drama. I'm a fan of Stephen Fry and Roger Allam, and how Hippopotamus never came on my radar till now is hard to fathom. Can't wait to see it. I'm a new subscriber to your channel so I hope I learn of other gems a tad quicker.
