Watching a Britcom





So, I'm on Andrew duty one evening and I just got started on watching a "Last of the Summer Wine" episode (Series 18 - The Love Mobile to be precise) and Andrew marches in after playing some Mickey Mouse game on the computer and says, "I want to watch "Spirit" (movie about horses he likes). So, I'm just about to let him have his way, when I have this weird epiphany and think "this is my TV too!".
So I tell Andrew he can either watch this strange comedy about three elderly guys strolling through the Yorkshire countryside or he can go to bed early.
So, he sits down mournfully, and after a few minutes, he starts cackling and giggling at the action, which mostly includes septuagenarians falling off bicycles over stone walls into fields and elderly women of substance sipping tea with aggressive expressions! It was the fact he really got into it which made me laugh, even though he can't' have had a clue what was going on!
A nice memory I will hopefully remember in years to come...
