'Britain, Britain, Britain. Land of tradition, fish and fries, the changing of the garden. Have you ever wondered about the people of Britain? Neither have I... '
In these highlights of the first BBC TV series, Lou takes Andy to the opera - 'I don't like it!', to the pet shop - 'I want a rabbit!' - and on holiday to Helsinki - 'I want to go to Florida!' Lou also offers to paint Andy's bedroom: 'Now, are you sure you want red... ?'
Unconvincing transvestite Emily Howard, or rather Eddie Howard, turns mechanic, and goes for a stroll along the prom (as ladies do). Ray McCooney's tax payments are overdue, but can he give a cheque today? 'Mebbe I can and mebbe I can't...'
At DIY Universe, Des Kaye - "Wicky woo!' - is hard at work, while Sam Bailey has a driving lesson in the Duchess with an unusual driving instructor. Yesterday's test on crisps at Kelsey Grammar School does not make for happy reading: There is no such flavour as Prawn Collymore', and there's the scariest babysitter you've ever heard.
With Tom Baker's nonsensical narration, and guest-starring David Soul, 'I think it's fair to say that this is arguably the finest series ever broadcast Good bybe!'

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.
McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.
Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
