1995? Eddie Hitler in it? Another TV show I didn't know I had. It says I have 3 seasons of it...

Allo Allo.

I classify Pygmalion as a romantic comedy.

Leslie Howard ( the simp Ashley from GWTW) and Wendy Hiller are in top form as Prof Higgins and Eliza Doolittle in this 1930's effort

The Carry On films are ones that I just remember seeing as a child because we only had three options of Sunday afternoon TV....
