Some may argue but we have stumbled across a few good things to come out of Britain. Weird huh?! ‘Show Us Your Brits’

Central for your viewing pleasure.
We’re taking it back to the beginning with the first seasons of both The Fast Show & Steve Coogan’s Saxondale. So jump into your tracksuit, grab a cuppa and some bangers & mash and settle in for the best comedy exports from the mother land.

Will & Grace
Monday-Friday @ 6pm starting 2nd August
What happens when you put a gay male lawyer with a straight female interior designer? They become best friends of
course!
Will and Grace begin living together in New York when Grace’s engagement fell apart. But with Will’s flamboyant gay
friend Jack and Grace’s secretary Karen always around, there is never a dull moment in this hilarious and classic comedy
series.
Kick it with Will and Grace every Monday-Friday @ 6pm starting 2nd August ________________________________________
THURSDAY NIGHT MOVIES on COMEDY CENTRAL
Premiere each Thursday throughout August @ 8:30pm
BASEketball Thursday 5th August @ 8:30pm
Comedy Central brings back a cult classic this August starring Matt Stone and Trey Parker (South Park) as childhood
friends who create their own national sport ‘BASEketball’ a hybrid of baseball and basketball where you don’t need to be
athletic to dominate the game. But they quickly learn it isn’t all hot babes and huge endorsements when they must deal
with a greedy businessman scheming against their team.
Parenthood Thursday 12th August @ 8.30pm
Steve Martin is the head of the Buckman household – a midwestern American family dealing with their own lives from
estranged relatives to raising children, job stress to being a good spouse. It’s a perfect watch for the entire
dysfunctional family.
Kindergarten Cop Thursday 19th August @ 8.30pm
You don’t have to thank us too much for bringing Arnie back to your screens. And don’t be fooled by the name because
John Kimble (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a tough cop who receives his most difficult assignment yet: to masquerade as a kindergarten teacher in order to
find a drug dealer.
Twins Thursday 26th August @ 8.30pm
Schwarzenegger is back. This week, he teams up with Danny DeVito in this old school classic. Julius (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a physically
perfect but innocent man who goes in search of his twin brother. But when he tracks down Vincent (DeVito), he discovers
that he’s a wise-cracking small-time crook juggling a string of shady business deals.
