Hmm, that's a difficult question - do you find 'Fawlty Towers' funny? Or 'Yes Prime Minister'? If you've watched them of course...
Definitely watched and enjoyed both; but, there were many references that went over my head, to be honest!
Love Some Mothers Do Have 'Em and Are You Being Served!!
Well that's all I need to know - there aren't any reference points in the Tom Sharpe books as all of the characters are fictional, but if you like that style of humour (maybe not so much Some Mothers, but definitely Are you being served, then you will LOVE the Tom Sharpe books.
Favourite racing series: F1, Indycar, NASCAR, GP2, F3, Formula E, Trophee Andros, DTM, WTCC, BTCC, World Endurance... etc. etc.
