Absolutely Fabulous – Begins Sept 2
Thursdays 8:00 pm ET / 5 pm PT

Edina runs a fashion agency, wears designer clothes and lives the life of a jet-setter.  Her friend Patsy smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish and dresses like a dream.  Life would be one long party - if only Edina's daughter would stop complaining and start joining in like a normal teenager.

Martin Clunes stars as Reginald "Reggie" Perrin, a middle-aged project executive for "Groomtech", a manufacturer of male grooming products. Unhappy with the world, Reggie plods through life complaining about how things should be.

Sisters Sharon (Pauline Quirke) and Tracey (Linda Robson) Stubbs thought they had nothing in common - until the day their husbands both were convicted of armed robbery. So begins Birds of a Feather, one of the most smashingly successful BBC comedies of the 1990s, following the pair as they struggle to get on with life minus their husbands. Birds of a Feather is one of several "viewer approved" titles that VisionTV has added this season to its popular prime time British comedy block. [more]

This classic British sitcom follows the misfortunes of cantankerous old grouch Victor Meldrew as he rails against the injustices of the world around him. Five times winner of Top BBC Sitcom. Starring Richard Wilson (Victor Meldrew) , Annette Crosbie (Margaret Meldrew), Angus Deayton (Patrick) and Janine Duvitski (Pippa).

It was a day like any other for 50-something widower Alec Callendar (Anton Rodgers), a small-town solicitor with a passion for Perry Mason and old Broadway musicals. And then Zoe Angell (Eve Matheson) walked into his life: a bright young gym teacher looking to divorce her unfaithful husband. The sparks would fly, and to their mutual surprise – not to mention the dismay of friends and family – Alec and Zoe soon find themselves in a relationship. But can love really span the age gap?

So you think lawyers are rats? Well, this acclaimed BBC comedy series won’t exactly change your mind. Based on a popular BBC Radio 4 series, Chambers is a stinging satire of the legal profession, starring John Bird (Absolute Power) as John Fuller-Carp, a morally impaired careerist who’s never met a principle he wouldn’t compromise. James Fleet (The Vicar of Dibley) and Sarah Lancashire (Coronation Street) also star.

After devoting the last 24 years to raising their four children, Arthur and Beryl Crabtree (William Gaunt and Patricia Garwood) feel entitled to some peace and quiet. But their grown offspring have other ideas. In this popular series, all four young Crabtrees flee the adult world and return to the parental nest, to the consternation of mum and dad. With Martin Clunes (Doc Martin), in his first regular series role, as Nigel, the youngest Crabtree.

The beloved Mollie Sugden, one of British comedy's greatest gifts to the world, plays Nora Powers, the officious head of personnel at a prestigious advertising agency. Nora’s personal and professional lives collide unhappily when her husband George - played by Sugden’s real-life husband, William Moore -- joins the company as chief doorman.

Hyacinth Bucket can’t stand people who pretend to be superior. After all, their pretensions “make it so much harder for those of us who really are.” Smug, social-climbing, status-obsessed and tyrannical, Hyacinth is a walking indictment of British snobbery – and one of the most indelible creations in the history of television comedy. In Keeping Up Appearances, the award-winning BBC Britcom, Patricia Routledge brings the monstrous Hyacinth to life in all her terrifying glory.

Last of the Summer Wine
Fridays, 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT

Last of the Summer Wine is the longest-running comedy series in television history, with 29 seasons and 278 episodes in the can – and more on the way. The show’s original starring trio consists of Bill Owen as the scruffy Compo, Michael Bates as the Sergeant Major-ish Blamire and Peter Sallis as the meek but sensible Clegg.

Veteran British character actor Arthur Lowe (Coronation Street, Dad’s Army) stars as wily Catholic parish priest Father Duddleswell in this much-loved series. Crusty but compassionate, the good Father tends to his suburban London flock while keeping a keen eye on the bottom line. Daniel Abineri co-stars as Father Neil, an eager but inexperienced young curate who learns the tricks of the priestly trade from his worldly-wise mentor.
