Del and Rodney are best described as lovable and harmless black market traders; they buy and (try to) sell almost anything and many an episode is based around some faulty/stolen stock bought by Del. 

Ongoing BritComs



Absolutely Fabulous

 Absolutely Fabulous - Thursdays, 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT

Best friends Edina Monsoon (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley) are two immature, prosperous but preposterous substance-abusing, fashion and fad-obsessed Londoners who value fame and style over substance. Saffron (Julia Sawalha) Edina's disapproving adolescent daughter provides the persistent voice of reason.



Keeping Up Appearances

Keeping Up Appearances - Thursdays, 8:30 pm ET / 5:30 pm PT
Hyacinth Bucket can’t stand people who pretend to be superior. After all, their pretensions “make it so much harder for those of us who really are.” Smug, social-climbing, status-obsessed and tyrannical, Hyacinth is a walking indictment of British snobbery – and one of the most indelible creations in the history of television comedy. In Keeping Up Appearances, the award-winning BBC Britcom, Patricia Routledge brings the monstrous Hyacinth to life in all her terrifying glory.

Last of the Summer Wine

Last of the Summer Wine - Fridays, 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT
Last of the Summer Wine is the longest-running comedy series in television history, with 29 seasons and 278 episodes – and more on the way. The show’s original starring trio consists of Bill Owen as the scruffy Compo, Michael Bates as the Sergeant Major-ish Blamire and Peter Sallis as the meek but sensible Clegg.

Father Ted

Father Ted - Fridays, 8:30 pm ET / 5:30 pm PT begins Sept 17
Father Ted Crilly (Dermot Morgan), Father Dougal Maguire (Ardal O'Hanlon) and Father Jack Hackett (Frank Kelly) have been banished to Craggy Island - a remote island, off the Irish west coast - by Bishop Len Brennan (Jim Norton).   The three priests live in the parochial house with their slightly crazed and tea-addicted house keeper, Mrs. Doyle (Pauline McLynn). Dougal isn't the brightest, Ted has a knack of getting into awkward situations, and the less said about Father Jack the alcoholic swear machine the better.
