Remember how people used to quote Monty Python? But now, hopefully, everyone has stopped because we've all heard every great MP line and, c'mon, you're just killing it, man?

I know I want to. People talk about Comedy Gold, but this is... I don't know... Comedy Platinum. Solid, too. None of this plated stuff.
Of course, if you're not already a fan, now I've just ruined it for you. It can never live up to your expectations, or you'll reject it because everyone's going to go on and on about it and it's so annoying, like with Starbucks. Then one day you have a Frap and, pow!, now you know. Which reminds me of another M&W sketch! But I want the uninitiated to see one of my favourites first:
Wait wait wait. If you've never read nor seen Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, maybe you won't get it.
