• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Here's a classic from the golden age of comedy. And it even predates my time.

James Robertson Justice was peerlessly outstanding in the role.

Wonderful scripting and performance. What the guy in the bed does with his part and no words at all is really impressive.

Oh, and wait for the punchline.

Hi Jonny,
Those 'Doctor' films were so funny. That clip is a classic example. I liked watching them when I was young and like watching them now. I have seen them recently on the TV channel Talking Pictures.
Bewitched is really funny to. Elizabeth Montgomery was a glam 60's woman - she had a lot of admirers including me.
